Well, if anyone actually reads this blog anymore, which I'd be very surprised considering the entire lack of content over the last three months, you should be ecstatic today when you click on this little blog - There is new content. While there are no pics right now at least I'm doing a little typing.

I'm going to try and give a little update with what is going on with the Ferrell's these days, first is an update on Lacy:

This little girl is getting to be so big. She really isn't a little infant anymore. Sometimes Katie and I just look at each other and wonder what happened to our little baby girl. Not long ago I could cradle her in my hand like a football. Now when she falls asleep on me her feet are touching my upper thighs and her head is resting on my neck practically (And I absolutely love it when she is asleep on me and I'm not really looking forward to when she won't be able to do this anymore).

She isn't walking yet, although for the last month she has seemed to be on the cusp. But she does crawl all over the place and at an unbelievable fast pace. But she doesn't crawl in a normal fashion. Instead she uses her right leg and pulls it up under her body so that her foot is flat against the ground, she then pushes off with that leg and pulls her other leg to catch up. It's really cute and she's perfected that style. She does walk all around while holding tables, chairs, hands and etc., but she really seems content to just crawl for a little while longer, which is fine with Katie and I.

Her smile! I can't imagine a happier baby. Every day she squeals with delight about everything. If she sees Baxter she cracks up, if she sees Katie she starts squealing and laughing. And her laugh is not a little laugh it's a huge cackle that turns into a belly laugh half the time. Half the time she wants to cry but can't because she is caught up with laughing at us! It's great. Overall Katie and I are very lucky. Honestly, she is probably happy 95% of the time. If she isn't happy it's usually because she is hungry or has a diaper issue.

Teeth: She has one as of today. Her first tooth came in about 2 weeks ago. And it looks like she could possibly get her second tooth tomorrow, you can see it just below her gums. I never knew baby teeth were so sharp, I mean really sharp. You don't realize how much you wear down your teeth in your lifetime until you see someone with a brand new one.

Talking: She's been saying dada for about the last month. But I don't really have a big head about that being her first word. The reason? The original dada was Baxter! And he still probably gets the most dadas. But dada is probably the sound she makes the most now. She has also started trying to say mommy. It's kind of a mix of m and n with some vowels behind it, really cute.

Travels: Last weekend we went to St. Louis for a short getaway. It ended up being a little shorter than anticipated. Katie didn't bring her pain patch and when we tried to fill the prescription for more pain patches that she did have we found out that the doc had inadvertantly put down July of '09 as the prescripton date, not '06. Unfortunately because of federal laws opiates are very regulated, as are there prescription (go figure) and we were unable to get any pain drugs for her. The result of this was a wicked case of withdrawals mixed in with intense pain in the area of her surgery. Not a good combo. So we cut our trip a day short (B&K you guys would love the St. Louis Zoo btw). The good news is that because Katie had to go through the 3-4 days of withdrawals because of lack of meds she decided to just get off of the patch. The bad news is that her pain level is still very high and without the patch it's pretty tough. Hopefully she'll be better in the coming months, but it has been an extremely hard time since for us since her thoracotomy. But she is amazing, you would never know that she is in constant pain or that she has gone through what our doctor called the most painful and hard to recover from planned surgery that you can have. Instead she just keeps going everyday, working hard in our home, my office, and at her work. She hasn't missed a beat and to me that is incredible. I'm guessing that not many of you that see her on a daily basis would know that she still sleeps in a chair at night because of the pain that comes if she lies prone.

I mentioned my office in the above paragraph. I think that most of you know that I've opened a law office in Olive Branch, MS. If any of you are ever in the neighborhood please drop by. The office is in a historic builiding in Old Towne Olive Branch and is looking great thanks to the help from Katie and Lacy, My Parents and Amber and Chase. Thank you guys.

Oh yeah, if any of you are wanting to book my services as a party entertainer, linguist or any of my other many talents for the summer/fall/spring of 2010 get on the list early. It looks like we're going to be in South Africa for World Cup 2010. Brian I'm looking for a ride on the FedEx Kinko's corporate jet for that trip.

Oh well guys I've got lots more to say eventually, but It's late and I'm getting tired. More info and pics soon to follow hopefully.
