Another tailgating Thomas

The weather was beautiful yesterday, so we took Aaron to his first TCU game. Both boys were great - such troopers without normal naps. Disappointing loss to SMU though. As a horned frog fan I've forgotten what it feels like to lose.




Aaron took a short snooze during half time. . .

. . .and Logan slept thru the 4th quarter.

Aaron 7 Months



. . .er. . . 7 1/2 months

Precious with a capital P. Aaron is a constant joy in our crazy lives. Both of our boys are actually, but Aaron can't tell us no yet, so he squeaks by with a win on this one.

At 7 months Aaron has his two bottom teeth, sits without assistance, scoots all over the place, and is getting pretty good at the transition from sitting to scooting. I actually looked over at him tonight and he was on his knees, but he quickly remembered that he doesn't know how to move in that position yet and dropped to his belly. Aaron gets 75% of his puffs in his mouth on the first shot. He eats two solid meals a day and still has 4 bottles - and holds them by himself.

All you have to do to get him to smile is simply look at him. My favorite new skill is waving hi and bye bye. For a hello he holds his arm up and moves his hand in a circular motion from the wrist - like royalty. And for goodbye he jolts his entire arm up and down.

And he's finally sleeping like a champ again as of 2 weeks ago. Must've been the teeth. I'm dreading the next round.

Aaron scoots so fast that you can't leave him unattended for long. He will either come find you or crawl into a corner after a toy and get stuck. He absolutely LOVES Logan and wants to play near him. If Aaron hears Logan's voice in another room he will stretch his neck to look for him. Logan is very good at sharing so far and Aaron is forgiving when he does forget to share.

Thank you for sharing your bright smile every morning thru the slats of your crib, sweet boy. Makes my day!

Asher and AJ come to play

During Labor Day weekend Andrew was in a 3 day golf tournament (don't ask him about it!) and my mom was here to see us and stayed a while since my dad is in Africa.

Jenn brought Asher and AJ to play on Saturday. Now that Asher and Logan are playing together instead of next to each other and the babies are becoming mobile, we are having so much fun watching them all. Lots of moving pieces though. . .


Mellow Mushroom. . .

Not so mellow cousins!

We met Derek, Wendi and girls for dinner a couple of weeks ago. Dinner took a while and the kids were cooped up in a booth for way too long. They were glad to get back to our house and burn some energy. We always love having family over and love that these cousins get to grow up with each other.

Kennedy and Aaron had some bonding time. They'll be in on all the running/squealing action soon enough!


What cuz? Does that hurt?
