Mommy's been slacking....

SOOOOO...... HERE ARE A LOT OF NEW PEARCE PICS!

I do have an excuse! We are seriously been traveling non-stop, plus Pearce got sick with his first cold in the midst of things!

Pearce has basically been on a southern state tour the past few weeks. He has been to Georgia for Poogs graduation and he crossed Alabama on the way over. Then, he came to Oxford for two and a half weeks to stay at Grandmama and Daddy Joe's because his daddy had court up there and mommy was not about to stay in Madison all alone. Next, he made the trip to West Point, MS (stopped in Starkville along the way) for his Aunt Meg and Uncle B's wedding. After the wedding, he returned to Oxford, then headed up to Collierville for Memorial Day at Aunt Emmy and Uncle Craig's house! Needless to say, traveling with a newborn keeps you a little bit busy. So, to those of you who think I quit being obsessed and taking 5 million pics a day... no worries... Pearce is still thinks he's a celebrity :)

This is how Pearce has spent most of his naps the past few weeks... in the car seat.
Exhausted after wedding pictures!

Pearce loves to kick and punch!

"Daddy! I told you I wanted to watch cartoons and not take another picture!"

Thinking very hard about what's going on.

Looooooves his passy! And...he has huge blue eyes which are turning bluer by the day! We thought for sure they would turn brown after he was born since mommy and daddy both have very brown eyes, but it looks like Pearce is going to have Daddy Joe and Aunt Cayce's baby blues.

sweet baby

Pearce is quite alert now. He definitely knows mommy and daddy and smiles at us (which we love). He also loves to try and "talk" back when we sing and talk to him and loves to be outside too! We are having so much fun with him.

5 weeks! Our super star...we put him in these pj's so we can find him in the middle of the night to give him his bottle.

I have a 4 week picture that I never uploaded but will soon!

Riding Dirty...cracks me up how he has his thumbs tucked in the straps while we were strolling.

Getting burped by Nina...who Pearce loves!

Looking up at his daddy, while wearing the adorable outfit Aunt Meg gave him!

Poochy Baby!!!! He's getting so big!

Pearce meets George

George's parents, Gracie and Bailey Menetre, were sweet enough to give George a ride over from Tupelo to meet Pearce. George is quite the cute little chunk. Pearce threw him the "grip" immediately :) so we are anticipating they will be BFF's for years to come! Ryan, Reed, & Pearce
Bailey, Gracie, & George
It is so funny and fun that we are all little families now.... we used to spend our nights up till the wee hours of the morning partying at the sigma chi house or elsewhere. Now, we spend the wee hours of the morning feeding, burping, praying that they will sleep, and loving these cute tiny minis....well George isn't so mini anymore :)

ROAD TRIP

We loaded up and headed to Athens, GA this past weekend for my little sister, Cayce's (AKA Poogs), graduation from Georgia. It was Pearce's first big road trip and he was ready. Note to parents...when traveling with an infant take everything they own plus some, go ahead and tack on an extra 3-4 hours when estimating the drive time, and make sure you have immediate access to caffeine at all times (especially if you plan on going out with college grads and rearing your child at the same time like Pearce's parents).... Pearce did great and we had a FABULOUS time in Georgia! So much fun!

Pearce was ready for the ride with Daddy's Ray Bans The lady's man.... Pearce with Poog's roomies...he was a big hit :)

Celebrating mommy's day in style with the "I love mommy passy" on the ride home

Little elephant after a bath

Cmack and Emelie came over to Grandmama and Daddy Joe's house to meet the little tiny mini before we left for Athens. Pearce is seriously checking Cmack out.

Pearce's first cousin, Carter, is reading to him and Pearce is quite enthralled.

poochy baby

These cheeks are getting poochier by the day. He weighed 9 pounds yesterday :) We are in Oxford for the week at Grandmama and Daddy Joe's. Pearce and Mommy are both getting very spoiled!

Growing up...
