Sous Chef

I have my very own Sous Chef. Here are a few videos of Chef Cannon at work.

Wednesday, August 20, 2008

A BIG milestone was reached today! Cannon can "crawl". It is more like dragging his body but he can definitely go FORWARD!

He has been working up to this for a couple of weeks, moving in circles and "inching" around. We SO need to get this place babyproofed! Yikes!

This is Cannon TODAY!

This video is of him "rocking" last week.

Children's Museum

This week we went to the Lowcountry Children's Museum with our playgroup.

Little Emma Girl.

This is Lila. She is playing dress up with Cannon.

China Man.

This is so not funny.

Rotten!

Yes, it is official! Cannon is spoiled rotten already! We went to a consignment shop a few weeks ago. I sat cannon on the floor to play with the toys. Well , when I went to pick him up he let out a loud scream, "Do not take me from this toy" is what he exclaimed! So needless to say, we purchased the toy!

Sad

Yesterday our friends from Savannah, Josh and Ashley, came to spend the night. It was so wonderful having them here and we wish it could have been for longer. I got all teary-eyed when they left. As happy as I am that Brett was promoted and I get to stay home with Cannon...Leaving great friends behind makes me sad. Come back soon, Josh and Ashley!!

Scream Monster

Cannon has found his voice and it is a big one! He has decided that the best form of communication is not crying or babbling but screaming. He has a happy scream, an annoyed scream, a "feed me" scream, and a "bored scream". Most of these screams are actually cute except his 4am "FEED ME NOOOOWWW SCREAM"...not so cute!

THESE ARE NOT EXAMPLES, I promise it is much louder.

Just talking in this one.

6 month portraits

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.
