It has been longer than I thought since I updated! Barnes was two months old last week and had his two month check-up today.
Since I last posted LJ and I got to go to the Ark v. SC game together. We are fortunate enough to have LJ's mom in driving distance and she came down to keep Barnes. It was a long day away - too long! We tailgated and went to the football game and not only did we loose but I was so ready to get home when it was over. Waiting in traffic was torture.

LJ went to the South Carolina v. Florida game while Barnes and I hung out at home. We spent our first night by ourselves - it was pretty uneventful. Saturday we drove to Spartanburg to visit my cousin David and his family so they could meet Barnes. We had a great visit - wish we could see them more frequently but we all seem to stay so busy.

Mom flew in Saturday night while LJ was in Florida. We started getting ready for our trip to Arkansas on Sunday and left early Monday morning. Mom and I left with Barnes early Monday and arrived LATE Monday night. Barnes did great! He slept when we drove and ate when we stopped. Unfortunately we ran into a lot of rain which slowed us down. Once we got to Arkansas we stayed busy. We had visits from my Aunt Liz and many of my mother's friends. We took Barnes to his first dinner out - he went to Outback and one of our favorite Mexican resturants.

While we were at home in Arkansas, I got to visit with my best friend Britani and meet her newest addition, Avery. Avery was born just a few weeks before Barnes. It was so much fun to be pregnant together. Britani already has 2 boys and has been my "go to" for all baby boy questions! Barnes and Avery had their first date - we took them to On the Border and then they got to hang out while Britani and I visited.

We had such a great time visiting with Mom and Dad and seeing all of our friends and family in Arkansas. Barnes had a lot of firsts that week.
1. First road trip to Arkansas
2. Frist dinner out to a restaurant
3. First time to church
4. First time to sleep in the same room with mom (he has always been in his own room)
On Tuesday before Thanksgiving Barnes and I headed to Shreveport to pick up daddy at the airport. We hadn't seen him in over a week and we couldn't wait to see him! We got there an hour early!
