Dallas fun!

Pearce, are you ready to go to Dallas???

We went to Dallas for Nathan's 5th birthday.  I forgot my camera, so I just had to use my iPhone and don't have any pics of his party :(  I'll have to steal some from Ashley's blog!  As soon as I got there, we went to visit Grandma.  She is always so happy to see us!  Pearce definitely put on a little show for her and I know she loved it! 


Grandma had on a sweater, so we had her change into something a little more cool.  This top is so cute...Mom made it for her!  I think she felt really good in it because she disappeared in her bathroom and came out with her hair fixed and makeup on!  She looked so pretty!  

Then we headed over to Auntie Ashy's for playtime with the cousins and dinner.  Nathan and Charlotte are always so happy to see Pearce.  They are so sweet and gentle with him.  Nathan and Charlotte are also extremely helpful, too.  If I ask one of them to get me a burp cloth or diaper...or even to throw away a diaper, they step right up and do it!  


Auntie Ashy had fun loving on Pearce and playing with him.  I love her two kids like they are my own and I know she feels the same way about Pearce.  I love that!

Charlotte regresses when she's around Pearce :)  She also loves to get in my diaper bag and find Pearce's paci's.  I constantly lose them when she is around.  What's so funny is that she never used a paci when she was a baby!    

Pearce and Papa are buddies!  Papa can make Pearce laugh so easily!  I know my dad is so proud of Pearce and that makes me so happy.  Please notice the large wet spot on Pearce's shirt...he is a drooling mess most of the time which is why a bib is usually part of his outfit :)

I stayed with mom and dad for the first few days.  You can see the Otis made himself right at home on their couch :)

And so did Daisy!

We just put all of Pearce's toys on the floor and he played and played!  Being at mom and dad's house is a mini vacation for me because they pretty much take care of him the whole time!    

Bath time in the sink!!



Pearce loves to suck on his wash cloth during his bath.  It's so cute!
"Is it ok that I just went tee-tee on my wash cloth and now I'm sucking on it?"


Nice, clean, NAKED BABY!!!!!  



Wherever Pearce is, Daisy is right there too!

Happy baby, happy mommy!


Hmmmm....is Papa crazy about Pearce?
"Hey Papa, look what I can do!"

"See my hands going so fast?"

"I love you Papa."

It sure is a shame Papa and Mama don't love on him more :)


Mom was supposed to be giving Pearce a bottle, but he totally conked out.  I mean, he was OUT!  But then he would open his eyes a little and was in a complete state of milk drunkeness...is that a word??

"Hey mommy, I feel good....I feel REAL good."

"Who spiked my bottle?"

"Mama, is that you? Life is soooo good right now."

Pearce tried avocado for the first time and LOVED it!


Then it was off to Auntie Ashy's house for the weekend and for some birthday fun!  Nathan had his party at a splash park.  He had lots of friends come and they all had the best time at his Superhero party!!  





The birthday boy!! 

Party poopers! 

Wayne, Nathan, and Ash 

Nathan was so sweet to let Pearce try on his Spiderman mask :) 

After the party, we came back to Ashley's house to open more presents, eat, and play!  Charlotte and Pearce make the best little playmates.   



Charlotte LOVES Pearce!! 


We came home and I had a LOT of unpacking to do, but Pearce was his usual happy self, and I got it all done.  It's always fun to go to Dallas to visit everyone!!!

  2. It looks like all 3 of my grandchildren had fun visiting their Dallas relatives! But where was Cookie?? I know Pam & Ron had a wonderful time with you all there. I think your grandmother looked just beautiful. I only wish that my mom had lived to see Pearce! She would have loved him so much.

    I'm glad that you had a good "mini-vacation." You deserve it! I think I would like a birthday party at the splash park myself. It has been so hot!! This week we had the first temps below 100 degrees in something like 45 days. MISERY!

    Love you,

    Lora
