David meets Maria

I like David! -Maria



Spicy always gets in the picture.

Our friends Ryan and Misty brought their daughter Maria over to meet David. They also got David a little Puma jump suit for Christmas. Thanks Ryan, Misty and Maria.

Spin Cycle

David's resolution is to try something new every day. Today, he got into his bouncer for the first time and really liked spinning around.

Full Belly

After a few days of getting the hang of it, David really loved eating his cereal today. I think he also likes making a mess!

Go Titans Go!

Once the game started, neither David or Bryan could be torn away from the TV. Until it was naptime.

Patiently Waiting

David decided to hang out on the couch and wait for dad so they could watch the big Titans game together.

Grandma and Papa Deese Drop In

Grandma and Papa came over for a visit today. David showed them how well he drools.

Bubbles Time

"Mommy put bubbles over my pee-pee like Burt Reynolds." -David

GO TITANS! The Titan Wild Cards

David and Bryan are convinced their Titans post last week was the deciding factor in the Titans win. They know a post this week could be the difference in the Titans playoff game versus San Diego. It's the Titans first trip to the playoffs since 2004. That's why Bryan broke out the Eddie George throwback jersey. GO TITANS!

Evening Snack

David is beginning to teethe, so he has really enjoyed chewing on his fist ... and drooling uncontrollably. He stayed up a little late last night so he could get some good gnawing in.

A Trip to Nana's

The boys (sans Hollie) packed up and took a trip to Nana's house. Hollie sent them with biscuits and gravy for everyone ... mmm mmm good. David got to catch up with Nana, Uncle Kevin and his cousin Mariah.

A Special Bond

Little boys love their mommy and David definitely loves Hollie. She loves him right back just before putting him to bed with Sugars (the puppy).

Nummers!

David tried out rice cereal today! He had a few bites and will have to get used to the texture. But he pushed mom's hand away when he was done ... and ready for the rest of his bottle. We'll keep doing just rice cereal for about four more days before we add his first vegetable to be sure he has no allergies.

Out of Sorts

David has been a little down since he got his shots on Tuesday, but is starting to feel better. We hope later today or tomorrow he gets to eat rice ceral from a spoon for the first time! Check back soon...

Lucky Spicy

Spicy is getting to know her new chew toy, a ladybug that was a Christmas present from her cousin Jack. Thanks Jack!

David Loves Aunt Ginger

This is from Thanksgiving in Chicago. We were at Hollie's Grandparents' the Shulicks.

4 Month Check-Up

David goes to his pediatrician this morning for his 4 month check-up. He will be weighed and measured and get a few more shots.
Hollie gave him a bath this morning and combed his hair.

A Vols Visitor

Bryan's friend Audie came over to watch the game ... and hang out with David. And if you didn't know, the Vols won!

Christmas Dinner at Grandpa's

These photos were at Bryan's office, so their not in order. Since we went to the Smoky Mountains for Christmas we went to Bryan's father's house (David and Bonnie) for dinner a few days before we left. We all had a wonderful time.

Happy Trails and Tails

We have this wagon, a gift from Hollie's sister Heather and her husband Brad, set up like this in the nursery. It's a cute way to hold all the stuffed animals, most of which were given to us by friends and family. David is holding his favorite, a dog we've named Sugars. Thanks to everyone for the stuffed animals and to Heather and Brad for the Radio Flyer!

Go Vols!

We're in the South, so you already know Bryan loves S.E.C. football. Nana got this Tennessee Volunteers jump suit for David a couple of months ago. Luckily he grew into it right before the big game. Tennessee is in the Outback Bowl (in Tampa, Fla.) against the Wisconsin Badgers.
GO VOLS!
