"Come here often?"

Thanks Kristen for the "Chick Magnet" shirt. Although this outfit kind of bums me out because Turner already looks like a todler in this picture. We've started trying to give him a bottle for the first time these past couple of days. The first time was full of gagging and outright refusal. The second was just full of gagging! We're getting closer! Actually you can tell he wants that milk inside that bottle, it's just a matter of finding out that technique. We'll keep you posted! Hurrah!

BFF!

Ashley's really good freinds came into town last weekend. Jenni (sp?) and her husband Jeff as well as Jane and her boyfriend Mike. We ate Chinese and had some wine and laughs. Ash was really happy to get the opportunity to hang out, as was I. We have the pictures to prove it.

I've been kind of slackin on posting stuff lately, but now that the Mavericks are out of the playoff and my nights are a little more free you can look forward to seeing more stuff up here.

Turner's started to really smile a lot. Ashley says he smiles at me far more than anyone else. I think he smiles at his mother just as much, but what do I know? I'm not with him all day. He also has started to find his thumbs which is really cute. He hasn't quite learned how to bend his elbow just so to get his hands near his mouth. It takes a good 30-50 trys before he has succuss. But when he does he's in hog heaven. Which is good because now he can kind of console himself if he starts to get a little fussy. Since he will not take a pacifier (he usually starts to gag and totally freaks) the fact that he's has his thumbs to put in his mouth is a lifesaver for Ashley and I. He's also started to get really chubby...ok fat. He's really cute and looking at my baby picture at six weeks - I was a chubb monster as well.

Three Ring Circus (ROCK ME!)

Sorry I haven't been posting stuff lately. It's really been crazy. I've been trying to get my stuff together to came back to Dallas and get a decent job. The website is coming along great. It's a lot of work, but not near as much as Jeremy Fields is putting into it. I can't say enough about him. He's really helped me out a lot. Anyway, my parents came last weekend and got to see Turner for the first time. I've included a link to some pictures here. They were really only here for a day, but they saw the greatness in my son. My sister Jennifer came with them. It was swell. Ash and I are still planning on coming back in July, so I hope everyone is ready - Lord knows I am.

Turner Gallery

Alright. Here it is. The long awaited, much anticipated and somewhat underestimated Gallery of Turner. I put pictures of Turner (of course) but there are a few of me as a baby and some of Ashley to come.

Turner is getting so big so quickly. It's crazy. I think he's a little over 11lbs. now! And he even seems to be getting longer. He was in the 80% of his hieght last time we took him to the doctor and now he seems to be even longer. You know what that means...center forward or power forward. Maybe both!

Go Mavs.
