First time on the swings!

These two pictures are just random.
 I thought he looked too cute in his TxSt shirt and jean shorts.
We took Andrew to our neighborhood park this weekend to play on the swings for the first time. He loved it and laughed and laughed!
 He kept trying to reach for me. 
 Wheeee!
 Love this laugh!




 It was so sunny so we had to go get his hat. Love this face, even with all the drool!
 His drool kept flying in the wind :)

 Daddy helped get him going.
 My whole world...

 Like my hat?
 I always flip it up (Brian hates that) because I feel like I can't see his eyes. 
 He kept blowing spit bubbles the ENTIRE time we were there. It was such a fun "first"!

Christy's Wedding

Brian and I had a friend's wedding to attend in Corpus Christi last weekend. Christy is Brian's long time friend and she and Jason got married at the Omni Bayfront in CC. We had a ton of fun with the "group". Brian went down on Friday with Andrew and Roger so they had some guy time. I headed down on Saturday morning. Brian's parents kept (little) Andrew while we were gone and they had so much fun. It was hard to leave Drebs for the first time but once I got down to CC, it was nice to have some time away. I missed him like crazy though!

Here is some of the gang. We had some time between the wedding and reception so we hung out in the room. 
 The Bride and Groom!
 Andrew, Christy, Roger and Brian
 We had so much fun and even got to sleep in a little bit. It was nice to sleep through the night :)
 These guys are TROUBLE! :)
 More of the gang.
 Christy and her sister, Stacy.
 Me and (big) Andrew
 This was towards the end of the night. Brian and I were tired! :)
 Night shot from our hotel "balcony". The hotel was right on the bay and the city was so pretty at night!
We had a great time and it's always fun to go to a wedding for two awesome people!

More Bluebonnets

More bluebonnet pics! I took Andrew out to a field by a church in Midlothian on a rainy afternoon. It had just finished raining but I knew if we didn't do the pictures that day, we'd never get them done. So Brian took us out in the mud and we took some pictures. I didn't know how Andrew would do because he is usually kind of cranky in the afternoon. But he did great and we got some great pictures. Our new camera is awesome! Enough with the chatting, here are the pics...











Five Months Old!

Really? Do we really have a FIVE MONTHS OLD?!
Oh, this sweet boy is just so much fun! And he is growing and learning every day. We enjoy watching him figure out new stuff and just play with him. 

 Here are some fun facts about our growing boy:

  • moved into size 2 diapers
  • last dr appt weighed 13 lbs, 3 oz
  • still in 3 month clothes but I could see you getting into some 3-6 soon
  • has started recognizing the dogs and reaching for them - love this!
  • You are ticklish under you neck and on your sides - mommy loves to tickle you and make you laugh

  • You talk so much, especially in the morning
  • We moved you to your own crib in your own room this month. Mommy didn't think she was ready but one night, I just put you down and you have done great! 
  • You rolled over the other night in your crib, in your sleep. That is about the only time you have rolled over. You just have no interest. You keep pushing your leg up but can't quite get that roll on. 
  • You are taking about 3 naps a day and wake up, usually, once a night.
  • I think you may be starting to teeth. Your drooling has gotten crazy and you are fussier than normal (which is totally not you). But we don't see any teeth breaking through yet. (Which I'm secretly glad for because I love your gummy smile.)
  • We have started "teaching" you sign language. We are only using the sign for 'milk' right now but will eventually start using more.
Sweet, little boy, you are getting so big everyday. We love loving on you and you make us so happy. Even though we are tired some mornings, we are so excited to hear your "talking" and see your smiles every morning. You are so much fun and we are loving this exploring and learning stage. We love you and feel blessed everyday to have you with us!

28 years young, right?

My birthday was Saturday. We got up and took some family pictures at JCP. They were running a special for the month of March so we got some cute pictures. Then we went to Chuy's for my birthday lunch. It was a great weekend! I got many birthday wishes and I feel so blessed. I look forward to what the next year brings and can't wait to spend it with my little family!

Here are some cake pictures. I was looking rough, already in my pjs but here they are:
 Birthday wishes...
