7 Months Old!

Happy 7 months sweet boy!  This month you started sitting up on your own and you are eating solid food better and better each day.  And - you got your first haircut...so handsome!!

Friends and Swimming!

What more could a girl ask for?  One of her BFFs getting to ride with us after school AND watch her at swim class!

The car conversation between them was awesome!  

Abby in her class.  It was "clothesline" day - meaning, they were teaching them what it feels like if you fall into water with your clothes and shoes on (heavy) and how to react.  They are all about water safety!

So much fun!

Silly faces at her friend Keira.

Go Cowboys!

1st Haircut for Blake

Blake is not even 7 months old, but his hair was getting a little out of control!  So we finally did the deed and got it cut.  And now my baby looks like a grown up little boy!!!

All started well, sitting in the little taxi.  Then I decided to let go and get a photo...and he fell forward and banged his head. :(  (Mommy of the year!)

He was still so upset about falling over and never quite got over it!

Look at all that baby hair!!!!

My big guy!

Funny - we thought he got lucky and didn't get cradle cap like Abby had as a baby.  Little did we know, it was there and just hiding under all that thick awesome hair.  So here is my little greaser (covered in baby oil).  This is the quickest and easiest way to get rid of it, and it smells good to!

So handsome.

Abby's BFF (Boy Friend Forever)

Abby has a BFF.  And it's a boy named Jack. And she looooves him.  These two have become quite good friends over the past several months and they have all the teachers talking about it.  I've heard everything from "they are going to get married!" to "they found their soulmate in preschool!".  He is a cutie and super sweet and polite on top of that AND we like his parents.   And come to find out, they live just a couple blocks away from us.  How's that for fate, HA.

My girl has good taste. :)

Abby and Jack at his birthday party, sitting in the same chair of course.

So long Preschool!

Abby graduated from preschool. *sniff* Time is just flying and she's growing up so fast!  She's so smart (sometimes to smart) and it's amazing watching her develop over the past year.  She went from a little toddler to a little girl in a matter of a year.

Here is her certificate she got last week on her last day.   She's now off to the Kindergarten prep classroom!!

Big Boy!

Blake has been working on sitting up by himself for a few weeks now, and I think he's finally mastered it.  Look at my big guy!  He loves finally being part of the family when we sit around and play!

Um, what's wrong with this picture?

Yes this is Blake.
Yes he's wearing a pink bib.
Yes he's wearing a bow in his hair (it was in his face and he's trying to eat, at least it's blue!)

Poor kid.

He does make a really pretty girl though! :)

(Yes, he will not like me one day because of this photo now being out there in cyber world!)

Good Morning Baby!

This morning I was still trying to get ready and load up the car before school/work when Blake woke up in his crib and started fussing.  So I told Abby if she wanted to go in there and tell him we know he's awake, she can.  Her response was "I'm going in" and off she ran.

I grabbed the video monitor to see what she was going to do and my heart melted!! She walked in saying "Good Morning Baby! Did you have a good nap?".  And he started BEAMING.  The biggest, cutest, sweetest smiles at her.  Then she turned on the light and patted his head through the crib railings.  About this time I decided to grab my phone to try and get a video without her knowing.  She had gone and got her step stool so that she could reach all the way in the crib. :)

And this is what I got.  She loves him so much!!!!  You can hear her saying "Come over here so I can hold you like a baby!".  So, so cute!!
