What A Week

What a week! Last Saturday, October 23 Jon David stayed with my dad while I went to a baby shower in Townsend for one of my sweet friends. Since I was away most of the day on Sunday Jonathan and I took the dogs and Jon David to the park. He LOVES being outside! The dogs were way past due for an outing!
The leaves were beautiful, not that you can tell.
Jon David is getting much more alert and aware. It is so fun to watch him as he takes things in!
On pretty afternoons I sit his saucer on the deck and he loves to watch the leaves as the wind blows them. We have a ton of trees in our backyard, and they are so pretty right now!
This week we also got to visit with Jonathan's Aunt Jane who came in from Florida. She was able to love on Jon David on Wednesday. My Aunt Terry came in from Nashville, and she came to visit him on Thursday!
Friday morning my dad had the morning off so he and mom came over bright and early to play with Jon David. Later that day we had Jon David's 4 month Dr. appointment. He weighed 14 pounds. The doctor gave us the go ahead to start cereal...
and boy did he LOVE it! He was in a daze after he ate it. He has been having some nap problems the past few weeks, but had been sleeping great through the night. He took the best nap he has taken all month. I had to go wake him after 2 1/2 hours. Hopfully the cereal will do the trick, and get him back on track!
Sweet messy boy!
Friday night Annissa babysat Jon David so Jonathan and I could go to Bravo with his Aunt Jane, Uncle Clyde, Art and Wendi. We had the best time!
On Saturday Jonathan and I took him to Target and Belk and he did great.
Today was Halloween so he dressed up in his first costume. Jonathan really wanted him to be a tiger. As Lil' Art says an Auburn Tiger!
It was a little bitter sweet we took him to see my Nana and Juju. The same thing Annissa and I used to do when we were little before we went trick-or-treating

Nana loves Jon David
Needless to say everyone thought he looked adorable, which of course he did!
Our next stop was Aunt Wendi and Uncle Art's. Lil Art was the first one to greet us. He was so excited to get his picture made with Jon David.
Next was Ruthies turn.
And then Tinsley

and lastly the Birthday girl who LOVES Jon "Dabit" or something to that affect. She always wants to hold him!
As a side note...Adie Rose I cannot believe you are three. I remember holding you almost every day when you were Jon David's size. I have loved watching you grow through the years. You are one very special little girl, not only because you are my namesake or my cousin but because of how God made your unique little slef, from your sweet giggles at Jonathan to your little spunk. We love you sweet girl and always will!

Ok sorry, last but not least we stopped by Honey and Grandaddy's so they could see Jon David and so he could get a much needed nap!
Jon David,
What a special day! Not just because you dressed up in your first costume, but because you have so many people who love you! I am so thankful for this week with you! It has been extra busy, but I have loved spending every minute with you by my side! You are getting to be so much fun. Your daddy and I love you so much and can't wait for many more years of "dress up."
