MY FIRST 4th OF JULY

Martez just had his very first 4th of July. He watched some fireworks with Granny and fell asleep even with the loud noises. I can't wait to take him to watch the real fireworks next year when he will really enjoy them. Martez also met his Uncle Joe for the very first time, and of course they hit it off. I was a little worried that he was going to take him back to Mississippi with him! More pictures from the 4th to come!

Martez's first slumber party!!!

Martez spent the night with his new friend Aiden while Morris and I went to a Wedding two weekends ago. Aiden is 9 1/2 months old, and they were so cute together! Martez kept smiling at him when they first met. Aiden is crawling around, so I think Martez got some pointers from him, because the weekend they were together was when Martez started sitting up on his own! Here is one picture of them together, and as you can see Martez LOVES Aiden. There will be more pics of them together coming soon :). THANK YOU TRAVIS AND AUTUMN!

How time flies!

I cannot believe it has already been a month since I made my last post...actually I can, because everyone is telling me that they want to see new pics of Martez!!! I do apologize for my inability to post more frequently. We currently do not have the internet, but will as soon as we move into the new house. Martez is already 4 months old, and he weighed 14lbs 8oz and was 24 3/4 in. long. He is getting much bigger and doing new things all the time. He is rolling over much better, he does A LOT of talking, and just recently has learned how to get his way (he cries anytime someone other than mom holds him). He is a very happy baby and such a joy to be around. His joy is contagious, because no one can get enough of him. Here are the most recent pictures of him.



"Look mom, I'm doing it!!"



"Look at my muscles!"

He rolled over right after i took this picture :)



Now if this isn't cute. We were just getting ready to go for a walk in the nice weather.


I laid him down for 10 seconds and found him sound asleep next to daddy.

Thats right everyone...he is a momma's boy!

Can I get a little bit of credit?

ok...maybe not!

Martez LOVES to stand up. I can't wait to get him a walker

The love of our lives

As you can see, Martez is getting a little personality. He smiles all the time and is such a joy to be around. We cannot imagine our lives without him. It's funny because every time Morris and I get some time together without the baby the only thing we talk about his HIM!!! We laugh and say "why are we talking about him again" and before you know it we start talking about something else that has to do with Martez. He is on our minds every second of everyday. This is the type of baby that you just want to show off to the world. We always look forward to taking him places and showing off pictures to everyone we pass (family, friends, or strangers). It is amazing to think that we created such a perfect human being. I thank God everyday for such a happy, healthy baby.

I have been back to work for 2 weeks now, and we are adjusting well. I am very lucky to have such a well behaved baby. He is already sleeping 7-8 hours a night, which makes going back to work a lot easier too. Leaving Martez was very difficult, and all I could think about was how much he missed me. But, seeing the big smile on his face when I come home makes it all worth it. He loves his mommy very much, I don't know what we would do without him. Morris just left this morning for Georgia to tryout for the Arena football team. He was hesitant to go, because he knew how much he would miss us, but it is an opportunity he couldn't pass up.
Martez is already 10 weeks old! He had his 2 month appointment last Monday and he was 12lbs 1oz and 23 in. long. He also got 3 shots, and he did very well. He only cried while getting the shots and he didn't have any reactions from them. He is a tough little guy.
Here are some new pictures of Martez last week. He changes every week. I didn't think it was possible, but he keeps getting more and more precious :)


He has the funniest face when he first wakes up in the morning!




He finally found his thumb! He doesn't really suck on it, but it's so cute to see him trying to put it in his mouth.

Daddy Time

Martez did not want to get his picture taken, but we had to get a picture of the twins :)


Morris giving him a bath. Look at that belly!!!

First week with Grandma
