No words...

Can describe the love I have for this child...

Four of the best years of my life!

Max and I celebrated 4 years of marriage this past Thursday! The past four years have been the best years of my life. As I reflected over the past four years, here are some of the things that have stuck out to me:

• Traveling to some of the most amazing places on earth (Cayman Islands, Mackinac Island, Kapalua Hawaii, Seaside etc.)
• Watching my husband grow in his career and begin graduate school at night
• Most recently welcoming our first baby into our family and looking down the road at how our family will grow!

The list could go on and on but the thing that sticks out the most to me is how our love has grown deeper every day.

I love you, Max, with all of my heart! You are the most precious gift and truly made for me!

Can't wait for many more together!

Tummy Time

Wells is a fan of tummy time. In fact, he prefers his tummy over his back any day. He is getting a very strong head and neck and beginning to hold that head up.
Here are some pics I got in action during tummy time!

Workin' so hard!

One month old!

Baby Wells is officially 1 month old and the love of our lives! It is hard to imagine life without him! Our lives and our hearts are so full with the addition of this precious gift!

Our little frog!

He had had enough by this point! Too funny not to share!

Supporting our teams!

Wells is beginning to learn the ropes of cheering on our football teams. Every Saturday, he has two wardrobe changes - one for his Auburn attire and one for his Baylor attire! The discussions have begun to ensue about which university he will choose!!!

War Eagle, Buddy!

Sic 'Em Bears - already learning that bear paw shake!

A visit from Mommasissy and McCall

My sister and McCall came to see baby Wells when he was a week old! We had the most fun with them and loved our time together. McCall was not too sure what to think of Wells for a couple of days and then warmed up! Below are some pics of our time together! We love you Mommasissy, McCall and Jake and can't wait to see you in just a few weeks.

This was the first time McCall met Wells. She was totally checking him out to try and figure out who this new person in our family is all about!!!

Later that afternoon, we found her playing in the puddles by our house! Too precious!

My sweet sister and McCall. McCall had just left the park with Dolly as sis and I stayed behind and played with the baby.

This was the moment McCall started to come around and figure out that Wells was not that bad after all.

Then she took the plunge - climbed in her mama's lap and wanted to "touch" him.

Sweet cousins together.

We gave McCall her own baby boy to play mommy with. When we took Wells for a stroll, she took baby Fella too.

However, Baby Well's stroller was much more interesting!

McCall is such a good mommy! She wore herself out pushing "her baby" around!

I loved our visit sis and McCall. Can't wait to spend time together very soon! Love you all.
