9 Months.

August is 9 months old.  WOW!  Anyway he is still struggling with the whole solid food business, but we're still trying.  Lately it feels like he is up ALL NIGHT! So it's a good thing he's cute.  Last but not least, he is mobile.  Well if you count army crawling, because I do.  If they can get from point A to point B, then in my opinion it counts.  Anyway we love you big guy! 

Happy Valentines Day!

 From 3 of my favorite valentines...

Jonas the Pirate is 5!!

Today my big guy turns 5.  It's so cliche to say I'm blown away, but really what else is there to say.  Anyway his day was spent taking Pirate cupcakes to school, playing Legos, watching me decorate his Davy Jones cake, and opening way to many presents, which consisted mostly of Lego as well.

His cupcakes were my favorite part of the day...  So cute!  You can get the printables here

His cake was an all day endeavor, but totally worth it. He was pretty excited!

Anyway it was a good day for a five year old.  Pancakes, spaghetti sandwiches, cake and ice cream...

  

A party with lots of presents...  What more could a kid ask for.

 

Apparently the festivities were to much for some people...

And the day is being finished off with the best activity of all.  Daddy time.  

 

Happy Birthday kiddo!  We sure love you!

8 Months!

I know I've skipped Christmas but too bad!  This guy is just too cute not to get on here!  He is a sitter now, and he's figuring out the whole eating thing too.  As long as it's not to sour anyway!  A little side note, he is always up on his hands and knees when I get him up from his naps.  He just started doing that this week so technically I should wait til his 9 month post, but it might not be so novel then! Give him another month or so and we may have a speedy little crawler on our hands!

7 months!

I know I should be packing for our Christmas vacation, but I had better get these up first or we just might skip this month completely.  Here's our guy this month! As you can see he's a chunky guy, who loves to smile and play with his toes...  He also likes long walks on the beach and talking about his feelings.  Oh wait, he just likes to cry and poop, and you'll have his heart forever if you'll answer to his every beck and call. Love you big guy!!

No judging, that my baby is 6 months old...

But his nursery is finally done!  This is where the kiddo sleeps, (sometimes...  ) eats, and plays. The bedding was designed by his Auntie Melissa, and lovingly stitched together by Grandma Brandley.  Thank you so much for all your hard work!

  

P.S. Check out the Grey and Blue quilt...  All done by hand.  I think Grandma likes him a little...

Oh and please ignore the unfinished art work, I just really wanted to post these pictures...

Apparently only Auntie Melissa can finish art, the elephant is a Melissa Brandley original... So cute!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Matt had a 3 day week and his family was in town for the holiday.  We had a lot of fun.  Unfortunately we can't prove it.  What I can prove, is that $4 buys some awesome socks at the bowling alley!
