Portrait Session...

A quick update.....we had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our family. We put up our Christmas tree on Saturday and Chapman LOVES the lights! He hasn't really bothered the tree yet, so we are hopeful he will "look, but not touch"! Yeah right!

Anway, we had Chapman's pictures taken by a WONDERFUL photographer from Birmingham. I am so proud of the pictures! Please check them out on her blog. Go to http://www.amandapair.com. I also have to say thank you to my sweet Mama for making his precious outfit!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I can't believe December starts tomorrow....where has the last year gone?

Finally....an update!

Well, thanks to two good friends that have told me I MUST update my blog, I have finally gotten around to it...but it has only been 2 and a half months since my last post!!! HAHA...just kidding! So much has changed in those 2 months. Chapman is now 9 months old and crawling everywhere. He is able to pull up and stand, holding on to something, and can walk around the coffee table while holding on. As many of you know, that means that the coffee table is now clear of anything important and we have to watch Chapman at all times!

As far as the last two and a half months, lots has changed. Chapman now has 4 teeth, he went to his first football game, he went on a trip with Mama to Fairhope, and he dressed up like a monkey for Halloween! I have posted some pictures from the last few months. Jason and I are so in love with our little boy and thank God everyday for him. Children are truly angels sent from above! Enjoy the pics!

Summer 2009 and Lake Vacation

I can't believe that summer is coming to an end! We have had the best summer and it has been so much fun watching Chapman grow! He is now 6 and a half months old, weights 19 lbs, 2 oz, and is 28 inches long! He is a BIG boy! He loves to eat and to play and is an extremely happy baby! He laughs and smiles ALL the time! Below are some pictures from this summer. We went to the beach for the 4th of July, Chapman was Baptised on July 19th, and we went to the lake for 5 nights in August. We have been to the lake and the pool a lot this summer and Chapman LOVES to swim! He is sitting up on his own and will be crawling anytime! Jason and I are having the best time with him and can't believe how quickly he changes. Right now he LOVES his Baby Einstein exersaucer/bouncer. He bounces, laughes, and plays in it all the time! Below are some pictures from this summer! I hope you enjoy!

Chapman's Baptism

Chapman was Baptised on Sunday, July 19th, at First United Methodist Church. It was such a special day for our entire family. He was Baptised at the 11:00 service and then we had a luncheon at our house afterwards. Chapman looked so precious is his beautiful Christening gown my Mama made. She also did the flowers at my house and for the Baptismal Font (which we then took home and put around the cake). It looked like we were having a wedding reception at our house. I am still so impressed! It was such a wonderful day!

Chapman also got his first tooth yesterday! I can't believe he is getting so big! He will be 6 months on August 2nd. Time is really flying by!

We have been having a wonderful summer. We have been to the lake a good bit and to the beach once! Chapman absolutely LOVES the water!

Below are some pictures from the Baptism. Enjoy!
