Father's Day and a Wedding

My friend, Marisa, was married on June 19th and I was a bridesmaid in the wedding. It was tons of fun and nice to get out of the house and be with friends!

Andrew 9 months

Andrew is 9 months old!

I love watching him sleep. Precious angel!

This is how Andrew fell asleep in his swing, he's never done that before.

We had a cook out in our driveway with some of our neighbors. This is one of my favorite pictures of this sweet little boy!

Andrew has started crawling! Loves to pull his books of the shelf.

He loves playing on the floor.

Elvis has come home!

Some of you may remember that last year, Tom went Elk hunting. Well, now Elvis the Elk is hanging on the wall in our study and it's massive! I'm proud for Tom, but it takes up so much room.

A Goal, The Race, The Finish Line

After I had Andrew, I set a goal for myself to run the 5K Komen Race in Tyler on Mother's Day weekend. All of the sudden it was upon me, but Tom and I managed to train a few weeks prior and we ran the majority of it. Another goal of mine was to be a Mom, that reality came true last September and celebrating Mother's Day and actually being a "Mom" this year was truly amazing! Andrew turned 8 months old 2 weeks ago. I feel like he is flying through being a baby and I just want it to slow down! Tom jokes with me and says, "before you know it, he will be in college", ughhhhh I want to enjoy every minute!

Andrew 8 months old

We had to get a new baby bathtub because he outgrew the bather I had for him. This "ducky" even goes quack quack when you push is beak!

My first Mother's Day

My Mom pushed Andrew while we ran.

Andrew loves playing in his diaper, loves not having clothes on!

Andrew 7 months old

Andrew turned 7 months old last week! He is definitely keeping us busy. Not crawling yet, but working on it. He has such a personality and is very busy, rarely takes a nap during the day, which makes for a tired mommy! He is wanting to grab for everything and now has 2 baby teeth. He does sleep well at night and has started a lot of solids. I tried making my own baby food and it has worked out so far. He likes everything except my carrots.

We found a field of bluebonnets in a cemetery in North Frisco, I know, random location, but there were tons of people there!

Andrew wasn't so sure about this, but we were able to get a few pictures.

We went to Tyler to see DeDe and Pops at the beginning of the week.

Andrew did not like the carrots I made and had more fun playing with his spoon.

Andrew likes to be read to, but lately, he would rather chew on the books because of his new teeth.

Andrew's first Baseball game

Here is Andrew at his first Texas Rangers Baseball game! Tom had some friends who came into town last Sunday, so we all went to the Ballpark. We were very proud of Andrew because he lasted about 6 innings. The only thing that happened was that he grabbed my drink and spilled it all over him, he's very into grabbing everything he can get his hands on. Thank goodness for extra clothes!

Andrew 6 months and Easter

Andrew is 6 months old! I can't believe it! We also went to Longview for Easter. We got to see our nieces that live in Denver, Andrew got to meet Emma and Madeline for the first time! Enjoy the pictures!
