Luke's 2nd Birthday Guest Post

 Helloooooo people!!! I'm BAAAACK!!!! Yes! Its me- LUKE!! Mom said I can do a guest appearance on the blog for my 2nd Birthday! So, you people haven't heard from me since George took over the blog! Well, guess what, A LOT has happened to me since then and I can't wait to show you all, in picture form, of course, because I love pictures! As you can tell, the camera loves me too! Hope you've been enjoying George's monthly blog posts. He's a pretty cool baby- once he's old enough to play with me, then he'll be even more super dooper cool! Ok here it goes….

Mom gave me an Oreo.
About 1/4 of it actually made it to my mouth. 

I learned how to use the phone to call my girlfriend(s).
Depending on the day, I either have 1 or 7 girlfriends. 

Then this happened…BOOOOM….mom dropped a BOMB on me. 

But thats ok, because I still get to have daddy all to myself for
9 months until the little stinker comes

I help daddy with yard work. 

And I go to church. 

Took my first long airplane ride to North Dakota!
I played the pacifier game with a flight attended.
She picked it up over 30 times in one flight. #trainedher 

Uncle Jim taught me how to drive a boat.
Next, he's going to teach me to fly!

I also became President of the bank for a day.
I raided the safe to buy food.  Got fired. 

Nellie is still my best friend

George started to grow…and boy did he! Mom looked like
she was hiding a beach ball under her shirt! Don't tell her
I said that. 

I stated to go to Asbury Mothers Day Out. 

Going to a football game with the parental units. 

Went boating and camping with Grandpa and Monc
Mom goes a bit overboard on the sunscreen. 

My first bill board. Mimi hung this in her office.  Its life size.
She is my #1 fan - even when I pitch a fit and throw food!

If only I didn't have to wear outfits like this. 

Tried to give Grandpa and Monc's dog a kiss….

William teaches me all about the bathroom, like how to
make a mohawk and fart.

Poor Ms. Shanti had no idea what she was in for...

I've ended up loving school.  

Then this happened….Baby George was born!!
I love being a big brother.  I can't wait to teach him the pacifier game,
throwing food game, and how to pick your nose. 

Papoose loves his #9 and #10 Great- grandchildren

I like to put his blanket over him.

And after all that…..I turned 2!!!
This is from my party at school.

Well, folks. As you can tell, I've done a bunch of stuff since my last birthday.  I'm 31 lbs, 3 feet tall, and 100% pure sugar. My favorite colors are blue and green, and daddy is my best friend.  When I grow up, I want to be a professional toy tester- specifically trucks, legos, and trains.  I can talk, but sometimes no one can understand what I'm saying.  I can do a summersault, run super fast, and ride Nellie like a horse. 

Its been a great year! Just wait for my next guest post- I'll teach you all about how to pitch 2 year old fits!!!

Until next time!

I'll stay cute,

Luke

3 Month Birthday!

Another month, another birthday…Yea, no big deal, I’m just a 3-month older now.  This month was TONS of fun; I experienced my first airplane ride, hung out with cousins, continued to sleep all day and party all night, celebrated Mom’s Birthday and best of all, I’m still king of the house!

Don't hate the player, hate the game. 

My first plane ride was unbelievable!! I flew with Mom to Tampa and back. (Luke flew with Daddy on a different plane)  It was everything plus MORE than daddy told me about.  He and I both love airplanes- in fact, my nursery is decorated with airplanes everywhere! Whenever we have extra hangout time, daddy lets me watch airplane shows on YouTube and teaches me about the aerodynamics of flying.  While the plane ride was fun, it was exhausting, so I slept through the entire flight.

airports are so much fun I forgot to wake up                                Golfing with Daddy- I'm his lucky charm                 

Tampa was Ok, I guess, but really it was just too much for me.  Grandma and Aunt Ann have things planned all day and it really cut into my sleep time.  I think they forgot that all I care about is sleeping and eating… But that’s ok- because the places they took me were super doper cool! Like the aquarium, splash pad, and shopping nonstop! Luke and Sarah run around the house, screaming and playing with each other all-day-long!! Its like they never get tired! I can't wait to be big enough to play with them- until then, I like to play baby doll with Sarah so she will feed me! 

I already have Cousin Sarah trained 

Papa is my buddy
we both have the same hair style

At the Aquarium 

I could sleep on Grandma all the day long

Then we celebrated Mom’s 29^th birthday!! That’s old. For real, that means she’s been alive for 348 months!!!!! I’m ok with it though, only because I get to drink sugar milk for the next couple days!

How embarrassing…Big Brother can't control himself around chocolate.

Out with the ladies for Mom's Bday lunch.
(I'm so much more sophisticated than Luke) 

Of course I have to tell everyone how big I am- I weight in this month at 15 ½ lbs- no shots this month- but I did bust BOTH my ear drums while in Tampa and even busted another a couple weeks later.  Once they bust, I’m not in too much pain- other than the nasty medicine daddy gives me. Icky icky! I can roll over to my belly and pick up and move my head.  My other favorite thing to do is stand up and look around.  So far, I've been pretty happy with my surroundings.  

William is my favorite cousin
He taught me all about legos and hawks

Well, party people, I hope your month was as fun as mine! Until next time!

Love Me!

Gbaby

Silly Luke- he thought shaving cream was sunscreen.
This is probably the best he has ever smelled- trust me! 

We're going to Mimi' s

2-month Birthday!

Listen people….I’m TWO-months old!!! How in the world did that happen? I went to sleep, drank some milk, and the next thing I knew, Mom told me I’m 2 months old!   Crazy things are happening around here….

Hello Ladies.

To celebrate my birthday, Mom took me to the doctor to get shots.  I’ll get her back when she’s old and I take away her driver license, but until then, I’m stuck doing whatever she tells me.  My stats from the doctor’s office are pretty impressive, if I say so myself; I’m 24 inches long and weight 14 lbs. 4.5oz.  Yes people, that’s huge- in the 95^th percentile huge.  I’m sleeping pretty well too- about 5 hours at night time- and I eat even better!

I sleep for a living, what do you do? 

My Big Brother Luke is pretty good to me.
He'll give me milk when Mom's not looking. 

This month I did some pretty cool things-- rode my first train, got baptized, gained a few jelly rolls around my midsection, took naps, went on walks, celebrated Mother’s Day, napped on top of Daddy, and played with Big Brother Luke. 

On Thomas the Train.  Luke was beyond crazy about it. 

Kelly's Wedding with Mom's friends. 

The most exciting thing this Month was getting baptized.  Although I slept through the entire thing, it was a very important day for me.  Mimi, Grandma, Papa, Grandpa, Monc, Aunt Lynn, Papoose, Uncle Jim, Aunt Cyndy, Luke, and my parents celebrated the big day with me by showering me with gifts, taking me to brunch, and give me snuggles all day!  Uncle Jim and Aunt Cyndy were my “fill-in” Godparents since Aunt Ann and Uncle John weren’t able to make it.  They’re pretty cool and told me that if I move to North Dakota with them, they’ll buy me a horse and let me eat candy every day!!

Us and Uncle Jim and Aunt Cyndy.

For Mother’s Day, we went all out! Luke and I got mom a spa day and 36 pink and white roses!  She loved it!  We also got Daddy to make dinner and we all pitched in to help clean up so mom didn’t have to.  Next year I might consider letting her sleep in…

Love my Mommy

Playing with Mimi!

Well people, that’s all I have for my 2^nd month of life.  Its been a fun month but get ready, I’m just a couple of months shy of conquering the world!

Love me,

GBaby

I have no idea what Luke is doing.  Maybe digging for gold?

I'm going to use this as blackmail one day.

Welcome to the World, George!

Hello World!!! 

My name is George Leonelli Farris and I’m brand spankin’ new! My big brother Luke has retired from blog posting and passed the job onto me for the next year.  So far, the world has been pretty good to me- I eat, sleep, make dirty diapers, and spit up- not as bad as I thought it would be! To start things off, let me tell you about my birth day!

I'm so fresh

Papoose

Aunt Ann

                                       I've got Grandma & Mimi wrapped around my finger

I slept on this blue light for a couple days 

Sarah is my future babysitter

Mom got induced on the morning of March 5^th (39 weeks 4 days).   Everything went as planned until her epidural stopped working.  It might have been my fault- just wanted to give mom a run for her money!  She cried, yelled, told daddy to never touch her again, and before she knew it, I popped out.  I know all the pain was worth it- look at me! I arrived at 3:15pm, weighting 8 lbs, and 21 inches long! Yup, that makes me bigger than my “big” brother at his birth- almost a full 2 inches taller! 

My family and tons of visitors welcomed me into this crazy world.  My Aunt Ann and Cousin Sarah from Tampa visited for a week then my Grandma Karen flew up to see me too! In between all of that, I had a baby shower!! I had a blast being passed around and cuddled with all day by the ladies!

Aunt Katie and Aunt Lee loving on me

Now days, you can find me chilllaxin’ at home, drinking milk or sleeping.  My best friend is my big brother-he gives me the passy when it falls and kisses me when I cry.  My other best friend is my daddy- he looks just like me, but taller, and tells me all about Alabama football.

Daddy makes the perfect pillow

Easter marked my 1-month birthday! We celebrated with a neighborhood Easter egg hunt, church, and brunch with the family (which I just slept through).  The Easter bunny got me chocolate, books, and stuffed animals! I let mom eat all my chocolate :)  This first month of life has been quiet eventful!! Hope all of you had a wondering Easter too!

Love me,
