Adventures of Tailgating.....UGA v. Ole Miss

Last weekend was Thomas's first tailgate. We had the most perfect day to be outside. It was a family affair - almost everyone was there!

It was an early morning. Patrick and his dad left the house at 7:00 to take all of the "stuff" to the Grove early. My mom (LuLu), Patrick's mom (Nana), Thomas and I left around 8:30 and headed down. Big mistake! Who knew that 90,000 people would descend into Oxford at around the same time. Needless to say, we made it to Oxford and sweet Patrick spent hours parking cars. We had a fussy baby by the time we hit Oxford, so waiting in a line of cars was not going to work out well.

Here is our happy baby once he got something to eat!


Thomas spent his afternoon in the Grove with Nana and Mimi. Aunt Big Boo Boo came to play in the tent so the little man was super happy!

I didn't get any pictures of Thomas and Elizabeth Magee in the grove, but Julia did! Check out her blog for some precious pics of the two little ones (http://memphisonmymind.blogspot.com/2011/09/ga-game.html)



Here is our little family. We don't have too many family photos, so I cherish any we get!

I love this picture! Patrick's parents brought Thomas all kinds of UGA gear. He is decked out from his head to his toes (literally).

The little guy can sleep anywhere. He was snoozing in the tent while everyone was visiting.

Thomas was exhausted by the end of the day. He was still cheering on the Dawgs in his dreams.

Some fun facts about Thomas over the last week or two:

• He now can reach for toys and bring them to his mouth.



• He has found his thumb and he likes to suck on it.



• On Saturday morning, we got the first belly laugh. He laughed so hard and it was precious!



• He weighs 15 lb 12 ounces.



• His favorite thing to do is look at himself in the mirror over his changing table. I think he thinks that baby in the mirror is a friend. So cute!



• He was 16 weeks on Friday.
