Our week in Arkansas!!

After a short visit to St. Louis for a ballgame Grandma and Grandpa Trotter (they still have not decided what they want to be called) took J.David and I home with them to Arkansas. Aunt Leanne and sweet baby Eden came from Nashville for the week to join the party and we had a BLAST!! It was so fun to watch these two new cousins interact with each other. I just know they are going to be best friends as they get older!! We also got to be there for Aunt Lindsay's homecoming from Africa!! We are so happy she is home and safe! And thankful that she brought home some of the best tasting coffee I have ever had...THANK YOU!! Friday morning we flew back and he did GREAT on the plane. It was a very full flight so I felt so lucky that he was so good. Going through security though, they made me take JD's shoes off!! ha ha ha!! whatever, i would rather them be safe than sorry i guess. Here are some pics from our SUPER FUN week in Arkansas:

At the Ballgame...note that J.David is wearing Cardinal gear!! (not Royals!)
Playing with cousin Ellie before she left for Florida...they are only a month apart.
Eden and J.David with Norma and Papa (this is right before J.D. smacked Eden in the face)
Cute pic in their new July 4th outfits!
Cute babies...this is the only one I have of them both looking up
Cute one with "Grandma"
Aunt Lindsay is home!!
J.David is now home with Daddy after surviving his 1st airplane ride!!
Another Update on my baby boy: Since my last post he has now broken THREE more teeth (two more on bottom and one I just found last night on top). The bottom teeth are all coming in on the right and top tooth is on the far left, so he is going to look like a little Jack-o-lantern...ha ha ha. I can't wait to get those pics soon!! He is also saying more "english-like" words such as ba-ba, da-da, la-la. So I am relieved to know that one day we will communicate. He is also pushing up on all fours, rocking, but still refusing to crawl unless it is army style. oh well! We thought for sure it was going to happen last week, but he is content with his way for now. Here are a few pics of him from this past week, he just loves the camera:

Oh! He is getting so big! I am dying to see him! It breaks my heart that we weren't here when you were in town. J. David is so precious and is getting so much personality. We have to plan a trip to see you! Love you guys!
