4 Months Old and a Big Boy

This is a little late ... a few days ... but Truett is officially 4 months old now. It's amazing how time has flown. Sometimes I feel like it was just yesterday that we came home with him just like everyone said. Then, sometimes it feels like he's been here forever. Truett is such a joy! He loves his mommy! There is no doubt about that. He is STILL almost rude to his daddy and everyone else when I'm around. He keeps his eye on me no matter where I go in a room. It's pretty cute!

While Dad has been working on the house every night, Tru and I have been getting some good quality time together. Today was a big day ... he had his first bit of rice cereal in a bottle which he LOVED, he took a 2.5 hour nap, and then he rolled over with a little encouragement! Talk about a big day!!! I'm tired just thinking about it!

So, here is my little man getting ready for bed tonight and his shirt stuck on his head! HA! I just had to take a picture of this. The head hole wasn't very big! Poor thing. 

More Light ... new doors!

Saturday was a day for hanging doors after Ryan had painted the ceiling throughout the entire house! We had great help too! Ryan's parents came unexpectedly (a great surprise) and mine came with me from the Sudduth family reunion where all the great aunts and cousins got to meet Truett. What a blessing! Ryan has been working his booty off by himself every night. So, it was great to be able to help him out and a few others helping out. Mrs. Susan stayed with Tru while mom and I went over to check on the men and their progress. We now have 3 new exterior doors!! So, it's coming along still ... slowly but surely! Our goal is to start ad come close to finishig all the painting by next week so the floors can be installed. 

So pray for babysitters to appear for my sanity! I desperately want to be a bigger part of all of this. Truett and I are still having a good time, though!

Check out the guys installing this door! :)

HOUSE UPDATE

OKAY ... better late than never! I haven't posted many new images of the house because I'm pretty sure you don't want to see a pile of carpet tacks (which actually would have been good evidence... oh well), wallpaper, nemo border (yes, the bathroom had it) and the biggest pile of dirt. YUCK! We've done more and more every day ... well, Ryan has. I've done as much as our little man will allow that doesn't require fumes in the air. Ryan's roof was complete last week after Chris, a super nice guy that works at True Value, came and shingled it. He did a great job and is being such great help every time I go in to get a new carpet sample or pick out doors! Oh by the way - all floors are picked out ... just have to be installed now! So fun!

So far all we have left to do, is prep the whole house for painting ... every room, sand the cabinets, install new exterior doors, paint the whole house, install countertops, sink and appliances and have the floors installed. THEN, we can move in! Pray that we can get a lot done this weekend and that our little man will cooperate with me. So, here's our latest big project and it actually wasn't so bad after collaborating our methods on removal. Our house is officially wallpaper free!

This will be the guest bedroom. The hall bathroom and Truett's room both had borders that had to be removed as well. Who EVER thought wallpaper was a good idea!!!? URGH!!

Truett Saw Her First

Well, I just want to show the true evidence that Truett saw her first! One of my great friends and roommates from college, Shea, had her little girl about 2 weeks ago. I think she's going to be that blonde hair, blue eyed little lady and Truett got to see her first! I say 'first' because two of our other roommates (Courtney and Mandi) are both pregnant and due in the next 3 months with boys. So, when we're at the beach on vacation when their all grown up, I can only imagine all those boys are going to be after little miss Sadie. We had a great time visiting with Sadie and Shea. They are spending the week getting to know each other while big brother Abram is at the grandparent's. She's precious! Thanks for letting us interrupt your day, girls!

Father's Day

Father's Day ... WOW! After church with mom and dad at FBC Kosciusko, the holiday is not just a hallmark holiday like Ryan and I had decided! You definitely see things differently when you have a little man that is watching his daddy's every move. Ryan is a great husband and father. He has a way with Truett and I know it will be the sweetest thing to see their relationship to develop as he grows up! Hes' already starting to watch his every move when he's not staring at his mommy. I guess I never truly thought about the role Ryan will play in Truett's life. HUGE! 

I do know that as a daughter I've always watched my father and wanted to marry a Godly man just like him and that I did! I have no doubt in my mind that my father has followed the Lord's guidance and he is right where he is right now for the sake of Christ. It may not always be easy to understand but it's a sweet place to be! How proud I am of him!

I have seen videos about Team Hoyt before but WOW ... what sacrifice!

40 Years ... SURPRISE!

Saturday was a big day with a hilarious surprise! (see below) The Berrys kids planned a SURPRISE 40 Year Anniversary party for their parents. Everyone was there with the exception of a few. If anyone knows Ryan's mom, she keeps up with everyone in the family. So, how we pulled this off, I do not know! But it was a blast! 

Monday was The Berry's 40th wedding anniversary ... 40 Fun Years! It's amazing to think that they have lived together much longer than they were every with their parents. They are so loving and giving to everyone around them and I'm so blessed to have in-laws that have stuck together like they have. We're so proud of you guys! Happy Anniversary from these Berrys!

note the hand on the wall ... we weren't how they would handle it!

P is for PIG and a Night with the Girls

Well, today officially marks Truett's 16 week birthday. Some (me being one of them) would say he's 4 months now, but according to our super particular lily pie to the right, he's 3 months 3 weeks and 2 days. ANYWAY - he's a big boy none the less and doing big boy things! He loves  to stand up, smile at anyone who will tell him he's cute and laughs like a silly little man. 

Tonight he and his daddy had a good time together! I got to go have dinner and speak to our senior girls and their moms. So, Truett and Ryan had boy time. Here's a little evidence of them being silly together. I think they must have been reading the ABC book. P is for PIG!!!
