blue-eyed boys: I AM 9 Months Old!

I AM 9 Months Old!

Today I am 9 months old!

I am getting big and I have an even BIGGER personality.

I know what I like and exactly what I hate!

I weigh 22 pounds and 12 ounces ( 95th percentile) and I am 28 inches long (50th percentile). Do you think I am going to be a shorty like my Mom?? My head is in the 50th percentile too, but Mom forgot the measurements.

I recently decided that I only like yogurt. If anything else is on my spoon and make a disgusted face and refuse to eat it! YOGURT, Please!

I can do lots of things: feed myself with a pincher grasp, point, reach for Mommy or Daddy, walk assisted (and since I have been composing this letter I have taken my first unassisted steps too!). Apparently, my doctor thinks I am supposed to wave "bye-bye" but my parents do not wave "bye-bye" so we will have to see if I ever learn to do that.

I think my dad is hilarious, especially when he plays with a ball. I love to watch it bounce and fall. It cracks me up!

I like for people to read to me and I love chew on books. I still am not crazy about riding in the car but I have learned to take naps in it sometimes.

I hate to sleep at night and wake my Mom up quiet often. If they would just stop moving and get settled maybe I would learn to sleep like I did in Savannah.

We have a new house, but I guess you all know that. Mom and Dad have "Cannon- Proofed" everything and I have lots of space to play!

I am growing very quickly and I cannot wait to show you all my new moves!!

Love- Cannon

welcome to our pea pod.

This blog is about our family, mostly our precious boys; Cannon and Sutton, but you will find it a window into our lives.

Brett and I met and fell in love over waiting tables at the Original Benjamin's Seafood Buffet in Myrtle Beach, SC. We dated for about 4 years and were married September 2003 at Litchfield Plantation. We lived in Savannah for five years and now reside in Summerville SC.

Our beautiful boys were born 2008 and 2010.

We are amazed everyday by the gifts that are our children. They are a reminder of God's unconditional love for us. Someone once told me that you cannot begin to understand God's love for you until you have a child and it is so true. God sent His Only Son to DIE for us. I am not sure we knew what kind of sacrifice that truly was until having children of our own.

We love the Lord and strive to live our lives in accordance with His will. We are not perfect. Yes, we fail daily but find ourselves back at the cross willing to try again.

Our firstborn son. He made me a Mommy, Brett a Daddy! He is beautiful...inside and out! He has a the most gorgeous blue eyes and dimple to match. This kid is going to break some hearts! He is our athlete. He loves anything with a ball. He already has a great baseball arm and can hit a golf ball over our fence! He is spirited and loving. He is a lover for sure! He loves to give hugs and kisses and to cuddle. He will just grab my face and give me a million kisses. He loves books and music and art! He knows more songs that I do. I joke he has music in his bones. I often hear him singing while playing alone. So cute. He has a great sense of humor already and he fills our days with laughter! Who knew having kids would provide endless entertainment. He is becoming an amazing big brother and already tells Sutton that he "loves him so much". He loves to drink chocolate milk. Loves eat pancakes, hummus, edamame, and peanut butter and jelly! He has a huge sweet tooth just like Daddy. He is already showing that he loves God and Jesus and even beginning to relate the things in God's word to our world. Amazing! He is fearless and cautious at the same time. He is often called a daredevil and is usually the first kid to jump, climb, and run.. with no regard to danger (He laughs in the face of danger!! Ha). But he is very cautious around new people. He is creative and imaginative and smart, loves to create and destroy, has more energy than you can imagine, loves to scream and laugh and RUN!!! Watch out, this kid will run away with your heart.
