We are MOVING, Again!

We are so excited! We are moving! We found a house! It has a large fenced in backyard, screened porch, 4 bedrooms and more! There are some cosemetic issues (such as awful peach walls) but it has lots of space.

House Update II

I just wanted to give you all an update. We got our FIRST EVER offer on the house. It was ridicoulously LOW. So LOW that they did not even give us a written offer because they knew we would decline it. They are basically offering us $12,000 less than our asking price and want $9,000 in closing costs. HA! But it is an offer.

Keep praying for a miracle in Savannah!!

Halloween Already?

I had planned for Cannon to be a "Monkey" for Halloween. I think he misunderstood.

Yesterday, I caught him making a "Mummy" costume!

New Things

My New "Do". Finally enough hair to brush!

Getting my teeth brushed.

This is how I sleep on the nights that Mommy is out working.

Playmates

Smart Boy

Look at how smart I am! Can you believe I am already clapping!

Cannon's Cute Voice

Cannon is a serious talker. I just love listening to his cute little voice.

Verdi's Big Adventure

When we were in Myrtle Beach for Labor Day weekend, Mimi, Cannon and I decided to go to Market Common. It is this new, upscale (FINALLY!!) shopping, dining experience. Stores such as White House/Black Market, Shoezz, Chicos, Izzie Bee, etc.

Okay, back to the story. We walked in several stores, had lunch at P.F Chang's (oh, yes, Cheryl!) and then to the chocolate store for a few truffles before we headed to the car. As we were walking to the car I looked down and realized that Verdi was missing! He was no longer sitting in the stroller with Cannon. He had escaped! Mimi and I panicked! We began tracing our steps, went into every store--asking EVERY sales clerk if they had seen Verdi. Back into P.F. Chang's, "Hostess, have you seen Verdi"? Nope. No one had seen him. I was so distraught, knowing that Cannon's beloved Monkey, had fallen out of his stroller and someone KEPT him! We gave up. I debated on what I would tell Anna Kate about Verdi. Would I just replace him with a new Verdi? Would she know?

Defeated, we started walking back to the car. We rounded the corner and I noticed a little old man sitting on a bench and then I saw two cute, little green, striped legs! IT WAS VERDI! He was sitting on the bench with this man. I ran over, "YOU FOUND VERDI!", I exclaimed. He looked at me for a second, and said "Oh, this monkey laid on the ground for a long time before some lady picked him up and sat him beside me. I told her to just leave him laying there on the sidewalk because I was getting a kick out of everyone stopping to take a look at him and then walking around him and staring". Apparently, Verdi entertained, was rescued and then kept a little man company all in 15 minutes!

Praise God, he was rescued!

Crawler

Cannon is officially crawling on his hands and knees with his tummy off the ground! He did it today while "chasing" a bone that his Mimi gave him. He looked like a little puppy.

I guess that means he is finally ready for those cookies I have been feeding him for two weeks! Ha! The back of the box says, "How do you know if your child is ready?" One of the "ways" is that they crawl with their tummies off the ground.


I will try to capture it on video tomorrow for you all to see.

My SIX month Appointment Finally!

So Today I finally had my 6 month check up. Yes, it was late. Dr. Colleen is busier than Dr. Ben if you can imagine that! Well, I weighed 21 pounds 12 ounces (90 percentile) and I am 27.5 inches long (75 percentile). I am finally out of that 50th-75th percentile for height!

My nurse said I was so cute she was going to have a hard time sticking me with those needles but she did it anyway!

This is happy little me after my appointment today, just playing with my Leap Frog table.

I HATE this Thing!

I TOTALLY, COMPLETELY, UTTERLY HATE this THING!!!

A Bumpy Road

Oh yes, we have a "bumpy" road ahead of us! Cannon is "on-the-go" and unfortunately that comes with bumps and bruises! This week he fell in his crib while standing up, poked his eye with plastic and screamed for 15 minutes in Suncom, and then TODAY he fell off the bed! Notice the bright red line across his forehead from hitting the bedside table.

At Mimi and Poppy's House

Cannon's Poppy has lots of toys, a four wheeler and a boat to name a few~

My Beautiful Baby Boy

Boat Trip continued

After the boat trip.

My Grampy got me cataloupe. YUM!

Boat Trip continued

My Grampy got me this cool float for the boat trip. Peyton has one too!

We are to cool in our floats and sunglasses.

I am TIRED!

Labor Day Weekend

Cannon's Grampy took us out on his boat last weekend.

We could not find real infant lifejackets. This is all we could find. Poor babies.

Beautiful Peyton and Chad.

Gramp lets Cannon drive.

Introducing, Peyton Brooke Cannon.

This is Cannon's cousin, Peyton. My brother Chad's little girl. She is exactly two months younger than Cannon. She is so big, 17 pounds. She is almost crawling, rocking and everything. She is a screamer too, just like Cannon. She is absolutely beautiful, a little miracle.

"For this child, I have prayed..."

Dare Devil

I recently posted a video of Cannon crawling. He crawled for probably a day or so and then decided it was to much work and that standing was easier. Here are a few videos of him standing up by himself.
