Just for fun

Beau will be four months at the end of this week.  That's right, FOUR MONTHS!  He's really growing and developing his own little personality.  Here are a few photographs of him and his recent exploits...just for fun. 

Aunt Sarah and Miss Lily Ann came to visit for Mom's birthday! 















Lily Ann LOVED Beau's giraffe!  And check out that baseball cap...looks pretty good on her.  (That's right, Ann...she's wearing the REAL fighting Tigers cap!) 

This face just screams

T-R-O-U-B-L-E!

And this one I'm posting because a few people said they see a bit of me in him!  Finally! 

Hunting season may be over, but that doesn't mean Beau is putting away his camo just yet!  Thanks for the cool outfit Uncle Chad and Aunt Emma!   

I'm gonna go see the Mardi Gras

So Beau got to see not one, but two parades this Mardi Gras season. For the first parade the weather was so cold he stayed all wrapped up inside Aunt Dian and Uncle Scott's RV. But for Fat Tuesday the weather, while cold, was clear, sunny and gorgeous.

While he had no idea what was going on he enjoyed the colors of the floats and the sounds from the bands. We can't wait until next year when maybe, just maybe, he can yell, "Throw me something, Mister!"

At least he got to spend time with his cousins, Kasey, Alli and Maddie.  I have a feeling the girls will show him the ropes next year! 

I think he's trying to tell us something

Wanted: One baby translater. Must be able to decipher adorable yet nonsensical baby babble. Needed - IMMEDIATELY!

So, weeks and weeks ago, Beau started trying to communicate to us through more than just crying. However, he's really ramped up his efforts lately. He talks constantly. Alas, Billy and I are unsure of ANYTHING he is saying. If only we knew what was going on in that cute little noggin of his.

Three months!

So, Beau turned three months last Thursday.  It's amazing how much he's grown in the last month and how far he's come developmentally.  Besides his new trick he is now doing the following:  putting EVERYTHING in his mouth, passing toys from one hand to the other, babbling with reckless abandon, trying his darnedest to stand on his own, and...I even caught him rolling over from his back to his belly (man, did that scare the tar out of him!) 

Since we don't go back to the pediatrician until four months, we don't have official measurements.  But, that didn't stop me from pulling out my measuring tape and hopping on the scale.  My novice skills have pegged him at around 25 inches and 14.4 pounds.  He's getting so big!  Can't wait until that four month appointment to see what the ped says! 

Next up...our first Mardi Gras parade!  Stay tuned...
