Truman's first night away from me!!

My mom captured these pics of Truman when he went for his first "over night away from me" at their house the last week of December. Doesn't look like he was missing me...

We were sure missing him. My life must have been so boring before Truman came along. I just walked around with a hole in my heart the entire day!

Christmas in Pocola

We flew to Pocola Oklahoma for Christmas this year and had a wonderful time with all of Jason's family. It seems my family has been shrinking over the last few years, so it was especially meaningful to me. I sure do wish I had captured a picture of all the people in Jason's generation. His cousin Amanda thought it may be the last time in a while that all of them would be together. I sure hope not.

Family Celebration

Mom, does this pose look familiar?

Don't we all have a picture of our baby crying on their first birthday?

Well, we decided to have a very low key birthday party for Truman. It was just the 5 of us. We did the usual: presents and cake. Then Jason and I went out to dinner with friends while my mom and dad watched Truman. Now that's a birthday!

Truman's Mullet

Our baby has a mullet. That's right, a mullet. Ben Pickle summed it up quite nicely when he commented in October (while staring at Truman's hair): "Business in the front, party in the back."
I must disclose that this is Truman's bed-head mullet. I will have to take a pic of his "other people are around" hair-do. Nice little curls.

Truman is One Year Old!

Today, Truman turned one. Thank goodness, his birthday falled on a Wednesday which is my special day each week with him (I try not to work on Wednesdays). We met mom at our usual meeting place...the Chili's at exit 229 for some birthday fun!

Birthday Wink

Truman was all smiles this morning!!
