Problems viewing videos?

I tried to view the video and couldn't initially view the second video, but I hit REFRESH and it showed up. I'm not sure if this will work for you or not. It may have to do with the connection speed of the Internet. Hopefully you can see it. This is his dancing video and is too cute!

He gets cuter every day!

I've never posted a video before, but I thought I'd try my hand at it. I put Hampton in the shower with me this morning since he didn't get one last night. After getting him completely ready, I started getting ready, and before I finished drying my hair, Hampton was dozing off and bumping his head on the bouncy seat I had him in. It was so cute. His hair is long enough now that I have to style it with gel and hairspray. It looks so cute when I get done! (Unka Jerl would be proud!)

The next video is of Hampton "dancing" with his friends Aubrey and Hannah. They come over a lot and are great friends. Hampton always has the best time playing with them - as you can see. He's just started this "dancing" thing when he hears music or anything with a rhythm. It is too funny! We're not sure where he got it because neither Clint nor I have an ounce of rhythm in our whole bodies! But Hampton can keep with the beat pretty good...too cute!

That's all for today - sharp hairstyle, cute dancers, sleepy fella.

Trick or Treat!

Hampton dressed up like a turtle tonight, and we walked around (Hampton rode!) with some of our neighbors. Of course, we did not participate in the trick-or-treating, but we enjoyed the walk. Hampton was very tired & needed to go to bed early tonight. Mommy & Daddy were too.

I'm a Big Kid Now!

Hampton has had a big week since his birthday on Tuesday. He has had so much fun playing with his toys. As you can see, our living room is beginning to look like a day care center, so we're trying to come up with another plan to store toys! Not that we mind toys in the living room (because that's where we spend our time during the day), but sometimes it's hard to walk without tripping! He got to use his new car seat on his birthday. He loves being able to face forward and see what's going on. He looks so big in his seat. I looked back once, and he was drinking from his sippy cup in one hand and had his ball in the other!

We went to downtown Ft. Lauderdale yesterday to have lunch with Daddy. We had lunch at The Samba Room. It was so nice that we sat outside to eat. Hampton loved it. He tried french fries for the first time, and (no surprise) he loved them - what have I started? We then went up to Daddy's office, and Hampton enjoyed sitting in his chair and crawling around trying to find something to get into. We didn't stay too long because it was too hard to keep him quiet and out of trouble.

We have a big day ahead of us. Daddy took the day off, so we're getting Hampton's one year portraits done, and we're taking family portraits too. Tonight, Hampton will be dressed as a TURTLE for Halloween, and we're going to our church's Fall Festival. We'll take lots of pictures, so stay tuned...

One Cool Dude.

This morning, Hampton and I went for a walk with his new red wagon he got for his birthday this weekend. He loves it. I was finally able to get him to see the benefit of wearing sunglasses! It was so bright outside, so he actually kept them on. This was a first! He was still in his PJ's too, so that made it even cuter. When we got back, it was time to eat breakfast, and he kept them on while he ate most of his breakfast! It was so cute. So maybe now, he'll wear them when the sun is in his eyes...

First Birthday Party

We had Hampton's first birthday party yesterday. It was so much fun! He was pretty cautious about eating his birthday cake. He mostly just smeared icing on his face. I finally cut the cake so he could actually get into the cake itself. He really had fun opening his presents. Well, the children at the party opened them for him, but he loved playing with them. Although, I felt like the worst mom ever because I bumped his head on a box while opening it. He got a red wagon from his MawMaw & PawPaw in Montgomery, and when I was buckling him in it, I clipped his skin from his belly into the clip. I really felt horrible!! Poor guy! He has a little bruise this morning, but I think he'll be fine. He played and played all day, so I guess he forgot about it.

I can't believe my little guy is one! WOW! Time sure flies. He'll be walking very soon, I'm sure. He's standing and walking behind toys and holding onto furniture but still not walking on his own. That will come soon enough. Until then, I'm enjoying the last bit of his crawling days before he grows up and gains a little more independence from his mommy...

Grandparents' Visit!

My Nana & PawPaw are here for a visit from North Florida. MaMaw and Tobie also came too! They got here yesterday, and we have had so much fun since they got here! Yesterday, we just stayed around the house and walked around the back yard. I had so much fun sitting on the patio and picking grass and pointing at airplanes!

Today while PawPaw and Daddy watched football, Nana, Mommy, MaMaw, and I went shopping. I got some COOL birthday gifts (but I can't tell you what they are yet!) and some new PJ's. Then, Mommy & Nana went to Publix and I got a BALLOON!!! I loved it so much that I didn't even want them to take it so they could pay for it! I played and played with it. I tried my best to pop it...oh well, maybe tomorrow!!

We had a great dinner - baby back ribs, grilled chicken, roasted corn, sauteed veggies, and key lime pie. Well, I ALMOST tried some sauteed squash. I ended up eating lots of Cheerios and some baby food from a jar. I was SO tired that I didn't even finish my bottle before bed. I just couldn't stay awake...oh well, maybe tomorrow!!

Can't wait to get dressed up for church tomorrow! More later...
