Visit to Alabama

We went down to Alabama this week to checkout the city where we will be headed sometime this year for Tim's work, with a wonderful side quest to visit Uncle Mark and Aunt Denise! Fletcher and I mainly hung out in the hotel while Daddy was at meetings all day for the first couple days. For whatever reason I missed out on taking pictures of Denise and Mark with chubby cheeks, so these photos of him sacked out on the bed sippin' on his milk and watching cartoons in the hotel are all that I have from the trip! Bad Mommy! But the photos are kind of cute ;0)

 

 

 


We tooled around town after Tim was done with his meetings for the week, got the lay of the land and scoped out an awesome sushi place! Plenty of places to spend money down there and its very pretty too! Lots of trees and somewhat hilly which is always nice to see. It was especially hilly as we made our way out to Aunt Denise and Uncle Mark's house on the lake, it was so pretty! I can't believe I forgot to take pictures! We got to hang out with Uncle Mark for quite a while, eat some pizza and watch Fletcher tool around the place, taking his drumsticks to investigate things. Aunt Denise was out late with some C-sections so we unfortunately didn't get to see her very long at all, but we still managed to visit a little bit! She hooked up Fletcher with some great Tupperware bowls and some big spoons and that about made his day.
Aunt Denise and Uncle Mark will be very busy soon, as if they aren't already! Soon they will welcome a cousin to Fletcher into their home! Uncle Mark has been busy putting the nursery together, it will be super cute :0) It will be fun to be right down there close to them in a few months, getting to hang out and help out with the baby, and cook steaks on their back deck overlooking the lake! Woot!

He's so tall! I can't believe he's only a year old. I suspect Henry is on the same path. He's up to 20 pounds now and 28 inches long.

I would say there is a fairly goodly amount of certainty about that :)

OK, share your secret how did you get him to drink milk from a sippy cup????? Sara is refusing both I think we own every cup on the market....

He wouldn't touch any of them, but I kept offering one or the other every once in a while and he just started sipping away! He likes the ones with the straws the best right now...the trouble is he doesn't get the head tilt thing yet!
My next trick will be getting rid of the bottles!
Sara will have her ah-ha moment soon :)
