Another week has come & gone




A cookout with friends ended our work week last Friday. Stryker, Logan, & I enjoyed going to dinner at the Slagley's house. It was perfect weather to grill out. Thank you for the delicious food & great visit. This was the first time we visited the Slagley's as a family of 3! Lindsey claimed that she was Stryker's girlfriend...guess I'll allow that one! Monday was difficult for me to go back to work. Coco kept Stryker again on Monday & Thursday while grandmomma kept him on Wednesday. Stryker is making some new sounds: "um" & "oh". It's precious to hear his little noises. He's also smiling intentionally now. His whole face lights up. Coco called me on my way home from work Thursday to tell me Stryker's new skill. She was happy to inform me that our little boy was trying to crawl! Coco was letting him play during tummy time when he started kicking. She thought he may like to kick her arm. When she placed her arm down, he kicked her pushing himself forward. He crawled to one corner of the blanket, she turned him around, & he crawled back! I quickly called Logan to tell him. As soon as we both arrived home, we tried it again. Coco was right! Friday night, we took Stryker to Oneonta to watch his cousin play in the State baseball tournament. Stryker met his future baseball coach...Coach Putman from Wallace State Hanceville! It would be great to have Stryker play where his daddy played in college. Like father, like son. Saturday was a shopping day at Buy Buy Baby in Hoover (a new baby store). Since mommy got her first paycheck, we decided to stock up on some baby necessities. I saw this cute throwback baseball uniform that was cream/navy pinstripes. He can actually wear it even though it's a 6 month outfit! Such a big boy. We also bought him a tummy time mat. It's a car with a steering wheel, mirror, toys, tummy bolster, etc. He loves it. Sunday afternoon was spent house shopping & watching baseball. The Yanks won since Stryker was wearing his new throwback uniform. Go Yanks!
