4 Months!

Here we are at 4 months, and it is going by way too fast.  While I do want him to stay little, I can admit that there are a few things I'm looking forward to as well.  As I type this he is snoozing in his swing, which by the way is the only place he'll sleep during the day.  If I try and put him in his bed he wakes up within 10 minutes...  Also speaking of sleep, I can't wait till he is sleeping through the night.  (Can you blame me?) 

Anyway, this month he started rolling.  He can only go from back to tummy, and he's definitely needs a bit more practice but he is doing it, also we started getting belly laughs.  Nothing cuter than a babies laugh, right?  

As you can see from the blur, when he is awake it's hard to get him to sit still.  But we don't mind.  His favorite person is Daddy, and always gives him big grins and squeals when he gets home.  He has a big grin for anyone who will pay attention to him...  Except the camera as you can see.  Still pretty stoic.  Anyway we love this little guy so much!  Can't believe he's growing up so fast!

The School year has officially started!

Look who's off to preschool...  Man I'm starting to feel old.

With his teacher, Mrs. York.

San Diego

Grandma and Grandpa Brandley were so sweet this summer!  They took the whole family to San Diego for a holiday!  The boys had such a fun time, and Jonas still talks about it.  Just the other night while blessing the food, he asked that we could go back to Sea World!  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

These Pilot whales were so cool!

Riding the rides!  The boys were especially excited for this part!

The only picture I took of August...  Bad Mom!  Just kidding.

 The Sea Turtles were my favorite part.  There were tons of them!

The next day was spent at the beach.  We had a blast!

 Flying a kite...

 Sandy toes are the cutest!

Uncle Mitch spent most of his summer at the beach and picked up a few tricks.  This homemade beach seat being one of them.

It didn't take August long to join in the action...

Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa!

Keeping summer alive...

Oh wait, I live in Vegas.  The summer wont die here for quite a while.  But despite the heat, school has started for all the big kids, (Jonas doesn't start preschool for another week) but I'm not done blogging about our summer.  So here's to keeping my summer around for at least another week!

We were headed to San Diego a couple weekends ago, so we decided our boys needed some beach practice.  So off we headed for Lake Mead...  Hey what can I say, it's the closest thing we have!

3 Months

Here's our little guy at 3 months.  He is so active and alert, always looking around.  Gibson is still his biggest fan, and Jonas is such a helpful big brother.  He finally hit double digits in his weight and is continuing to gain.  He still has big grins for everyone, but especially his Daddy!  We love this little guy so much!

Canada!

Time to catch up on this baby!  I feel like I have no drive lately, but today I'm feeling pretty energetic, so here it goes!

We spent a few weeks up in Canada this summer, like usual, and here are some of the highlights...
Playing with the cousins...  You can't beat it, my boys were so worn out by the end of each night!

Speaking of cousins...  Check out my nephews curly locks.  So cute!

And then look what his parents did to them... So sad!

Having a built in baby sitter, this girl changed diapers and rocked August to sleep every chance she could!

Wicked!  I can't wait to see this someday on a bigger stage, it was good, but I imagine it to be so much better in a bigger venue!
I don't have any pictures from the show, but here's a cute one from the drive...

Getting together with my girls, Jess and Diana...  I'm so bummed I don't have a picture, but these 2 are the best, and it was even more fun to find out that Diana is finally expecting her first little bundle of joy!

Getting family pictures done by my Brother... Despite a couple injuries during the session he managed to get some great shots that really show my boys true personalities, instead of the goofy expressions I always get when I try to take their pictures!

Speaking of cousins again, can I say 2 words?  Dress up.  nuff said!

Two more highlights...  Matt making it across the border with and expired passport, and Matt making back into the U.S.A. with no passport whatsoever, and no hassles, not even a question!
Anyway we had a blast like usual and leaving was bittersweet.  Now we get to look forward to Christmas!  Can't wait!

2 Months!

I'd better get this post up before this kid turns 3 months!!  

August is such a good baby.  He started smiling this month, although he was being very stoic for his photo shoot...  Oh well.  

He is very alert, he does like to snuggle, but only if there is nothing better to look at. 

He's also starting to put on some pounds... Or a pound...  Again you can't tell, thanks to his sparrow legs!  But we love him!  3 months is coming up way too fast!
