bloom: April 2011

We can't believe that Davis is already 6 months old! {Actually as I write this he is 7 1/2 months old so shhhh} Time has flown by and all those strangers that told you "they grow up so fast", "next thing you know he will be in college" are actually right. And I find myself saying those same things to pregnant moms who are probably thinking "thanks Debbie Downer". On one hand it is sad to see them grow up but on the other hand it is fun to watch them learn new things and start to do more than poop and sleep.

Above is the face that Davis make 90% of the time. He always looks concerned about something. If Davis could write a bio/resume I think this is what he would have to say:

My name is Williams Davis Martin but you can call me Davis. I weigh almost 18 pounds I have been alive for 223 days or if it's easier for you 7 months and 11 days. I like math. I have counted one tooth but feel others coming in. I usually feel my other teeth coming in late at night and I like to let my mom and dad know they are coming in.

I like to take long walks around the neighborhood or Chastain Park. Other forms of exercise I like are bouncing in my bouncy seat, crawling around the rug in the living room, rolling around in my room and rocking in my chair. I love to read. Some of my favorite books are: Llama Llama Red Pajama, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, really anything by Mo Willems because he gets me, Tumble Bumble, and..... the Bible :) I love music and love when my dad plays the guitar and sings to me. My favorite songs/bands are Vampire Weekend (this was the first band I "heard" while in my mom's tummy and they aren't as scary sounding as their name implies), Isty Bitsy Spider, There's a Hold in My Bucket, Baby Monkey and anything by Baby Einstein.

I have two dogs that I love to pet and by pet I mean pull their fur by hand fulls. Baxter stays away from me most of the time but Georgia loves to lick me. Here is a picture of me and my dogs.

This is Georgia and she is probably trying to lick my face


This is Baxter and I'm not sure what he is doing but I look scared
