Eight Months

This past month has been one of many milestones for Maddon! We had to lower his crib and move him out of his infant car seat. He now has two teeth and has mastered saying Mama! He's done with pureed food and is enjoying eating what the rest of us are eating. He has also moved out of the infant tub (way later than he probably should've been) and into his bath seat. He's scooting around the house and starting to pull up on things. He loves playing with his toys, feeding himself, and stealing things of his brother's!! No doctor appointment again this month!

Happy Mother's Day

This was my first year as a mother of two silly boys and it's been a joy! They are so funny and sweet with each other. I'm amazed! We are very blessed to have these two and I'm so proud to be called their mommy. They certainly keep us busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way! We celebrated by going to brunch with Auntie Erica and Grandma Monica. Here are a few pictures from our Mother's Day photo shoot!

Seven Months

At 7 months old, this little guy is developing quite the personality! He's such a happy boy! He has mastered the skill of rolling and uses it as a mode of transportation. We are still waiting for his first tooth to pop through, but anticipate that it will be any day now! He's becoming vocal and we're anxious to hear what that first word will be. He's doing a great job eating, but it really starting to fight "baby food" so were transitioning him to table food. No doctor appointment this month, but he is still trending on the  long and lean side!

Happy Easter!

Mason had been asking for days if the Easter bunny was going to leave him eggs in our backyard. He was so excited to find some there on Easter morning. He was so anxious to wake up his brother so that they could follow the bunny's footprints to the eggs and to their baskets. He was a great big brother and helped Maddon look through his basket. Then we got ready to head to Grandma's to hunt for more eggs before going to brunch at Cog Hill.

Egg Hunts & Egg Coloring

This year we were able to attend the same two egg hunts that we did last year. Mason was so excited to go and even explained to Maddon that next year he can get eggs too! The first one went well. He even won two free kids meals at Texas Roadhouse (Daddy was excited about that too!). We went to Red Robin for lunch after the first hunt and then went to the festivities at church! We went out to dinner to celebrate Daddy's birthday and capped off the night by coloring eggs. We gave Mason a little more freedom this year with them. He actually impressed me with his neatness. I was afraid we were going to have a multi-colored kitchen when we were done!
