Coming up for air....

Our world has been a whirlwind over the past two months. Between Thanksgiving, Iron Bowl, Fearing's 4th then 5th ear infection, graduation, Christmas, baby showers, RSV,  and rounding it off with Disney World I feel like I am just now coming up for air! I am BEYOND behind...in everything it seems, but I have the best of intentions to 'catch' up sometime in the very near future.
Beside the list above...we have had some very exciting things happening in our family lately. Fearing is growing SO fast and he never ceases to amaze us how 'big' he is! At his four month appt.(and fourth ear infection!) Fearing was 16 lbs 8 oz and 26 1/2 inches long. He had conquered rice, oatmeal, english peas, carrots, applesauce, bananas, and apple,strawberry, banana combo (his favorite!). Fearing loves to jump! His aunt Megan and Andy gave him his 'jump and go' and he loves jumping in it. He loves it so much that when he is not in it and in our lap he still wants to JUMP! He is a really great sleeper, we had a rough couple of weeks when he was so sick there were many nights when our bed was the recliner but as soon as he started feeling better he went right back to his 'normal' sleeping. Which is nice for us too! Fearing is sitting up on his own for longer periods of time and I think it will just be a few more weeks until he can sit up as long as he wants by himself. Most of the time when I sit him in the floor he pulls himself forward over his feet out in front until he his in the crawling position. He gets up on his knees and rocks back and forth. Santa brought him a walker for Christmas and he quickly learned how to go backwards. Now he is pretty fast at getting accross the room backwards. You can tell he REALLY wants to come forward now but he is just not sure how to do it yet. 
Last night Fearing officially started the 'army man' belly crawling. Beau and I were amazed! I am afraid that it is just a matter of time until he is off. He is also really into arching his back and throwing his head backwards. Not sure why he is doing it..but can make it difficult to hold him!!
Disney World was such a fun short getaway for our entire family (my side) we really enjoyed getting to see all our Auburn friends. We went to support Aubie as he competed in the UCA National Mascot Championship. He got 2nd place and we were SOOO proud of him!! He actually won the skit portion of the competition and only lost by 7/10ths of a point!! After the competition we had a dinner with all of the students, parents, and "Aubie family" at one of the houses we were staying in. There were close to 80 people there and it was such a fun night. We learned some very interesting things about our little boy too... he is a people person, attention loving little ham! I would not be exagerating if I said probably 50 of the 80 held him that night. He will go to anyone and gives the biggest smile and jabber. Beau and I are SOO in for it. He is a mess. We are convinced he might be another 'Tyler' as he seems to have two speeds...wide open or passed out!
I will go back soon with Thanksgiving, Christmas and some other random events over the past 2 months and hope to include pictures too!
