Nibbles

Sutton: "Mommy, I have nibbles (aka nipples). Daddy has nibbles. Cannon has nibbles. Cows have nibbles. Pigs have nibbles. Mommy, you have a nurse. You have two nurse."

Another One

Cute Sutton Quotes: I want another one piece of cake. I want another one shoe. I want another one piece of candy. He uses "another one" anytime he wants more of something.

My baby is growing up. I know that I am going to love this new stage in our lives, but it's bittersweet seeing my baby grow up. Sutton has stopped nursing completely, we are about two weeks into a completely weaned little boy. He is also potty trained now. He is amazing. He will just walk into the bathroom, pull his pants down, go potty and pull them back up. If he poops, you have you run in and wipe him. He thinks he is so big, he will attempt to wipe himself, and pull his pants back up. He is such an independent little boy.

Prayer

Tonight, Sutton said his first prayer. His first real prayer. He has been singing, "God our Father" for some time now but this was his first real prayer. Dear God, Thank you for making Mommy, Daddy, Cannon, Mimi and Uncle Sean. Amen. Do I have to tell you how much this warms my heart?

i am updating the blog gradually. there are lots of posts from the summer but you need to scroll down.

enjoy.

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.
