This is one of my favorite Scripture verses and one that is always on my mind when I look at you, sweet boy. You are such a perfect gift straight from our heavenly Father. Lately, your dad and I have been feeling overwhelmed by the blessings that He continues to shower on our family. I just started a new job this week, which is downtown where daddy works too. You had your first week (two days Tuesday and Thursday) with your nanny Tita and with Allie Beth. It sounds like you guys had lots of fun! I think Allie Beth is getting used to having a friend around when she's with Tita. Tita told us that you "tinkled" all over yourself and in her face both days (uh oh!), that you laughed watching Allie Beth dance to her princess songs, and that you got so worn out that you fell asleep in your bouncer! We are so thankful to have Tita and feel so blessed by how much she loves and cares for you while mommy and daddy are at work. God was so faithful to us by leading her to our family!
Here are a few pictures from your first week with Tita

| This is where you like to sit and watch AB dance to her princess movies |
Mommy is going to work to Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays going forward. We pray that you continue to love spending time with Tita and Allie Beth!
Last week you took your first plane ride with Mom and Dad! You were such a big boy at the airport and so cooperative the whole time. We flew from Dallas Love Field airport to Branson to see all the Vestal family and spend some time at the lake.

| Here we go getting on your first plane ride! |

| Here we are finally settled in for the flight! |
You were a real trooper the whole time and even made an appearance on the lake once or twice between your naps. Right now you're sleeping 11 hours at night, from 8pm-7am (so awesome!), and then you take 2 short naps in the morning and a longer nap in the afternoons, followed by a short cat nap in the late afternoon. So it's hard to get out of the house between all that napping!
Here are some of our favorite pictures from our 4 days in Branson

You continue to get more fun with every passing day. We think you're going to roll over soon, but you really hate to lay on your tummy, so it may still be a while before you roll from your tummy. You prefer to sleep on your side at night, so we're pretty sure you could roll if you wanted to. You are such a happy boy and you are filling our lives with so much joy!
