What do we do all week?

Well, we take a bath every day...and this week I decided to taste the side of the tub and I came down too fast/hard and chipped my tooth!


We got a present from Nana and Papa Suggs. This is Monty Rex and he was a little too lifelike for me in the beginning...

Then Mommy sat me down with some of my favorite toys and sneeked Monty in beside me...

And I eventually warmed up to him :)

We play in the kitchen...this is taking all the bags out of the drawer...

Putting them behind my back...this is a new skill I love to practice!

Then I turn around... And do it again...we think this is sooo funny!

We play in my bedroom....I scooted over to the door to check out things...

My coat hanging on the wall deserved a few yells....

The door stoppers make great noise...my cousin Galina loved them too!

I made it to the gate and found out what its purpose is....let me out!!

We play in the kitchen some more...these cans roll very nicely!

Practicing my bowling skills...

Daddy will be proud!

And finally, we play in the kitchen again! I love this place! I'm learning that there are doors everywhere!

My favorite are the pots! They make lots of noise being thrown around the kitchen!

I love to feel different textures on my tongue! That results in a lot of extra dishes for Mommy!

Julius is growing so fast! With his new ability to move has come some serious investigating! He is also developing quite an appetite! I love watching him grow and learn new things every day! I'm so grateful for the amazing opportunity of being a Mom! It is everything I dreamed it would be...and yes, I dreamed of being a Mom!

Peek-a-boo and On the Move

So funny that he picked this up all on his own. We do play peek-a-boo a lot!

Sort of on the move...it's not crawling but we'll take it!

Fall means...

long sleeved t-shirts!

I have to make sure my rain coat fits cause the rainy season is just going to get worse!

throwing down leaves faster than Mommy can snap the pictures...afterall leaves fall in the Fall!

gotta get a new beanie cause this one just won't cut it!

kickin' back and relaxin' cause FOOTBALL season is here!

Hope everyone's Fall is off to a good start!

If You're Happy

Take 1: Nick paying attention to a football game resulted in some cheering in the background :)

Take 2: No more cheering for the game...not enough light :)

Take 3: He's getting lots of practice with this :)

Going by so quick!

Julius enjoys rolling around in his diaper after bathtime...can't wait for those knees to do their job!


Getting ready for some lunch with Daddy. Nick has been working the night schedule so we get to enjoy lunch together!

Along with the night schedule came quite a few easy nights, Nick would get home early so we could have breakfast in the morning too! I love to cook breakfast! Julius enjoyed some panckakes with syrup, eggs and a little bit of bacon...no chocolate milk yet :)

Go DUKE!

The wind is blowing a lot...bringing Fall with it!

"Is it supposed to be so sticky?!" Julius's first marshmallow...he wasn't too sure about it! :)

Funny what little things will entertain him...the fabric became a peek-a-boo game and the strings were dropped over the chair rung over and over!

TICKLES=GIGGLES







Nick only had a few weeks home and he will be off again soon...the time has gone by too quickly!

Funny Lil' Man

Julius loves his little puppy! It's soft and comfy!

I walked out of the room for a minute and this is what I came back to find...guess I left the box too close to him :) He was steady trying out each one he could reach!

One of the last warm days I'm sure, so we took advantage of it! Julius enjoys his little car and being outside...two of his favorite things!

Here is his really mad face...when I'm trying to get a pic of his teeth it works well!

Movin' right along...sort of...

Julius loves to bounce in his little car! He has also figured out how to get enough bounce to move himself forward :) and not backward which was his usual method!
