Casting the Line

He may not be sitting up yet, but by this picture he looks like he's standing!

We have had a great week! Daddy left on Tuesday for work and did it ever fly by! Over Labor Day weekend, we were visiting family! Turner and I took a trip up to Moppy and Poppy's to have lunch. We then went to Shugie's and hung out on the porch in his favorite spot-the swing. After that we had our first gathering with friends at the house. Turner was our entertainer! He had so much fun playing with everyone. He also had his first look at dove! Yum!

Below is a fish! (I had to come back on and edit because I said duck instead of dove and then 'someone' thought I was thinking the picture below was a duck....)
He's ready to go fishing with Grandpapa! He'll be able to do that next spring, so we are pretty excited! He was so excited to see a fish!
Swing time! He's a little small, but loves swinging!
...Loves sliding..
Loves playing peek-a-boo with Grandmama! We don't need no stinkin' Chuck E Cheese..we have playland at Grandmama's and Grandpapa's!
Hanging with Nanny on the back porch
He had Virginia visit him. He was so happy.
I love sitting in my highchair! This has been an added station throughout the week. He is eating more rice cereal and cries when he sees it or the bottle. Gotta have your game plan ready or you are in for a treat if he sees either before you are ready! He opens his mouth WIDE for big bites!
Toes!
Aunt Natalie watched  him on Friday. She takes good pictures of him. I LOVE him in hats!
Beanies! Beanies! That will be our thing because he wants to be just like his daddy!
It was a little chilly in the house, so he needed to wear it!
This is his new thing--casting a line! He sits and goes back and forth like he is casting his fishing pole. That's the Johnson in him!
He is talking and giggling up a storm.
Loves having his picture taken first thing in the morning :). With Daddy being gone, I have to take more pictures :)
He visited the school yesterday. It will probably be the only time until May, but I wanted my students to meet him since I talk about him all the time. (Don't worry, they still know a lot about PoPo)
His three other Grandma's! Grandma Sue, Nana Jan, and Gigi! They love their Turner. They also have to put up with absent minded mamma..who are we kidding..I was that before Turner!

We have started to hit a road block...he is going backwards on his naps and it's not good. He is starting to wake up RIGHT when you put him down in the crib...he has always been 'picky' about where he sleeps, but it's always been a for sure thing in his crib and that's not working...I am not too worried because he does still sleep through the night, but with Addison gone it makes for long evenings when he wants to be held and won't nap. I'll just have to write on my papers to grade...Dear Parents, I'm sorry, but my child won't sleep, so I can't grade your child's work. (I know I should be grading right now instead of blogging...but what fun is that?!?!)
It makes for difficult days when he won't nap for anyone.. We are working on it. I'm not sure what the cause is... We are letting him cry it out right now...and we've been trying to get him to sleep for an hour now..so that's been fun. He's only been crying for 10 minutes..and now it's time for rice cereal, so I guess no nap so far..
Turner may not be able to attend the three birthday parties we have this weekend if he doesn't take a nap. That's the funny thing..he isn't fussy when he doesn't sleep--he's just queit and rubs his eyes a lot. It was so funny. Yesterday after his school visit, right when I put him in his car seat, I wasn't even in my seat and he was out!
 Oh well! What's new. I just hope it's a phase......
