18 Months

 It just can't be! 1.5 years old!  This sweet thing is not a baby any more and is definitely turning into a little boy right before our very eyes.
Look how grown he is! 
And this pretty much sums him up lately...cars, trucks, airplanes, tractors, in hand at ALL times!  He is definitely a true boy.

Greer, you are one amazing little guy, and we all love you soooo much.  You are soon going to be our "middle child," but don't worry, Mama will make sure to see to it that you are always amazingly special!  Now that you have hit 18 months, your vocabulary has really blossomed.  You amaze me with things that you know and understand.  When I actually take the time to sit down with you and read a book and ask you where things are on the page, you point to them!  You are repeating a lot of what we say now and know several words on your own.  You call Ellie "Sissy," and I don't even know if you know her real name, and you walk around the house saying "Mama" all day long.  You want to know where I am and what I am doing at all times.  You are enjoying school for the most part.  You still break Mama's heart with the poked-out lip each day that I drop you off, but I know that you are fine right after I leave.  You have started "fighting back" with your sister and taking up for yourself these days!  You still sleep every night with your Little Giraffe blankie (just like Sissy) and paci.  You are still such a cuddler, and we all love that!  And you just have the sweetest little personality that makes me want to eat you up!  We all love and adore you so much!!  Happy 18 months to our Geer Beer!

Weekend at the Cabin

Since Daddy was away for the weekend on a guy's trip, we decided to head down south for the weekend. She She rode with us (oh how we love having her in the same town), and we spent Friday night at Lollie & Poppy's and Saturday night at Poppy's cabin. When we pulled up on Friday afternoon, there was a VERY special surprise waiting on Ellie and Greer...
A John Deere Gator!!! Poppy insisted they have one for the cabin, and Ellie was ecstatic!
I was a little surprised that it took her a few tries before she would actually push the gas pedal and make it go. Once she did, she was nonstop and wanted Greer to ride with her every time. What a fun surprise for me too! It felt like an early Christmas for all of us!
We did a lot of relaxing which was much needed. We also roasted a few gigantic, pumpkin marshmellows...

 And celebrated She She's 26th birthday!!!

 Took sink baths...
 Played with our trucks in the gravel. What 17 month old wouldn't love all of these rocks???
 Played on the new rope swing...


 And before we knew it, the weekend was over and back to reality for us all. Poppy has made a few improvements to his cabin over the last several months, and in just a few weeks there will actually be real power and not a generator!!!! Yahoooo!!! We are so excited and will be spending our Thanksgiving there this year.

 In other news...this sweet baby boy in my tummy officially has a name...
Sims Booker Prewett
We will call him "Sims." I can't believe how close we are getting to his arrival. Ellie refers to him as "my baby" and cannot wait to meet him!

Girls Weekend

Last weekend 10 of my ADPi girlfriends from college took a trip down to Seaside, and we had a blast! It was so nice to just get away for a long, relaxing weekend.
I was the only preggers one there, but that didn't stop me from having a great time!

We got some good beach time in. The beach was actually gorgeous...the prettiest I have seen it in a long time. Can't wait for next year girls! Love y'all to pieces!
