Alabama Weekend and More

Here is a sneak peek of our new house. We noticed last week that they put the sold sign up. How exciting!!

I don't really need my baby tub anymore. I love bubble baths!

We went to Alabama with Mellie, Granddad and Aunt Bee last weekend for the UT game. Here are some pics from a not so good restaurant experience. We had to wait awhile, but Mellie and Granddad kept me occupied. I learned a lot about patience that night!!

No, I'm not smoking...Mommy, Mellie, Bee, and I went shopping on Friday while Daddy and Granddad played golf. We ate lunch at P.F. Changs, and I got these chopsticks to play with. Daddy and Granddad were very excited to be watching the Vols on Saturday (too bad they lost).

Their tickets were on the very last top row and Mellie didn't like it at all.

Aunt Bee kept me while Mommy and Daddy went to the game. We had so much fun!! There wasn't much to do in the hotel room since Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let me crawl on the floor, so I got to play with Daddy's belt.

Mimi and Poppy met us on our way into Knoxville Sunday evening at Olive Garden for dinner to say bye because they were heading to Israel the next day.

Tuesday Daddy had a long day at work so Mommy and I took him dinner and visited with Mamaw and the other residents. Mamaw gave me a fun ride to the dining room. I told everyone I would be back Saturday but they would not recognize me (I'm going to be a pumpkin!!) Pumpkin pics coming soon!

Love, Joel

I am loving this crawling stuff! I have found so many interesting things. But I think if I can learn to walk I can get alot more accomplished in one day, so I'm practicing by pulling up on everything mommy and daddy will let me pull up on. In our condo in Crossville last week I discovered the bar stool rail was just my size!!

So is the bumper on my crib. Oh no, mommy caught me! Good thing daddy lowered my mattress!!

Is that me in the refrigerator??

I love riding around in shopping carts (and strollers, and cars, and...)!

Lawn mowers! They are really noisy, but I love the ride!

A few weeks ago I went with mommy to watch my cousin Brianna play her last home vollyball game. I got to meet some of mommy's students and I really wanted to eat their shoes.

Mammaw and aunt Sharon were there too. We played patty-cake.

Brianna scored the winning point! Go Freedom!!

And I've saved the best discovery for last...

I love Mellie and Granddad's dog, Samson, and he loves me. Check out this video!!
