Radio Flyer

Thank you Lulu for the wonderful Radio Flyer Wagon...Adam wasn't too sure what to do with it at first...

 but now he's using it to pick up his ladies

Impulse Buy

Daddy's always good for some impulse buys off the sale racks :)

 Yes, we now have a drinking fountain in the bathroom.

BOYS!

I love having a boy, because every picture is blurry...and I typically find him in places like this :)

On the 1st Day of Christmas...

Putting out the first ornament of our Advent Calendar!

A great week

We just got home from a great few days visiting Jon's grandparents (Nannie and Poppop) in North Carolina. We had a very relaxing visit thanks to Nannie's baby-proofing. We got to play golf (Jon), go running (Anne), visit neighbors, and just sit around and play with Adam. Here are a few of the highlights from our trip.

 Adam meeting 'Maxx'

Rashy Baby

Unfortunately I didn't get great pictures of Adam's impressive full body rash. However, here is just a small taste. This is the third day after 4 doses of Benadryl :)

8 Months

Our little Halloween Monkey!

 Enjoying some time with Lulu

All Adam's Friends (Jackson-as an ugly doll, Emma-as a sailor, Max-as an army guy, and Dani-as a lamb)

I think I can...

Pumpkin Patch

Adam's first trip to the pumpkin patch!

7 months

 All ready for the baby-sitter!

Look what I'm hiding!

New favorite area

Now that Adam can crawl he is discovering all sorts of new, great places...like the closet!

On the move

Here is Adam's new trick these days!  Big question of the week was 'Can you actually electrocute yourself if you stick your finger in the socket, or is that just if you stick something metal in there?'

So close

Grandma Time

We just enjoyed a whole week with Grandma!! As you can see she spoiled Adam with lots of new toys :)

6 months

sitting up

wearing size 3 diapers

smiling at everything and everyone

grabbing everything

eating sweet potatoes, cereal, bananas, avocado, peas

laughing when tickled

shaking things

putting everything into your mouth

sleeping from 7pm to about 6am most nights

loves to be scared

getting up on hands and knees

chewing on things
swinging at the park
just starting to wave

My new view

Mommy finally realized I had a new trick to show everyone

Guinness getting a sniff...maybe she's finally starting to warm-up to the idea of a new baby

look at that core strength

So tired

We are all exhausted after our first week of work/daycare. Thankfully, Adam loves Ms. Linda's house and has become a hit with all the little girls, who just love to mother him :)  However, now Jon and I are excited to have a few days home with our little man.

One last hurrah

Adam and I just got back from our last summer trip before school starts. We had a great time in NW Washington visiting Lulu and Papa John with Adam's cousins. This was a girls trip so Jon wasn't there which means not as many pictures, but here a few of the highlights.

Lulu and 7 of her 11 grandkids
