you know what i love more than ice cream. more than sonic drinks. more than a chicken biscuit. these two kids and this wonderful man!

we've been playing outside a lot and swimming! i also took my grandmother's ring to get earrings made. can wait to see them! :) happy friday!

more beach!

the beach. part one. oh how my kids love the beach! blake had a BLAST! he ate the sand up. literally. he was laughing so hard as the waves would crash on him. forget trying to hold him. he wanted down in it. he was even taking steps when we held his hands. guess we found what motivates him! these two are just so different. as you probably already know. here is b experiencing the beach for the first time.

9 months old!

well, you knew the day would come. my "tall" guy is back in the 30th percentiles! lol! but, he is doing just great. saying mama all day long so what else could i ask for! he finally crawls and pulls up too! i was beginning to think he was never going to crawl. he does this thing where he is completely up on all fours and tries to stand. it really just looks like the downward dog yoga pose! he has 3 teeth that have come through and 3 more that just need to break through. he still doesn't really eat food but wishes he could just eat sisters food. his favorite time is bath time. he LOVES the tub. and if he's sitting his little feet are always crossed. i think he'll go straight to table food at this point. he says mama, dada, and baba! he likes to take avery's toys and she's doesn't like it so much. :)

overall, he's doing just great and is still as cute as can be!
