The chase is on...

This video is a little old (about a month) but I am finally getting around to posting it. I have another one but I can't seem to get it to load properly. Enjoy...THE CHASE.

Bluebonnets

One of the prettiest aspects of living in Austin is the Bluebonnets that grow wild in the Spring. Local tradition involves forcing children to sit in them and take adorable pictures. This is as adorable as a forced photo session can get around our house.

Rolling with my Homies!

I don't really need to explain....I thought I had at least 13 more years.

Home furnishings - Opinions?

We are trying to make our living room a bit warmer.  The white walls are so blah but cost way too much to paint.  So we have done a couple changes and I need opinions.  We put some sconces with candles on the stairs, new curtains, cute photo frame near the kitchen and a very colorful painting in the dining room.  I like all of what we have done but am unsure about the painting above the couch.  Take a look and let me know.  

Dodging Davis

We allow Jeremiah to eat breakfast in the living room while watching cartoons in the morning.  Now that Davis is all over the place Jeremiah is always on the defense with his food.  This morning he got wise and found a place to watch his cartoons and eat in peace.

God made the Fish and Rocks!

We are currently fish sitting "the fish" for the Beards while they are in CA.  This morning we fed the fish and Jeremiah was patiently waiting for the fish to eat.  He began the normal string of why questions.  Why is there water?  Why is the fish in water? Why are there rocks in the water?  Then he said "God made the Fish and Rocks."  I was impressed, he proceeded to say "and God made me, God made Mommy, God made Daddy and God made Davis."  It was so sweet.

Waxing Philosophical

The other day Ben was lying on the couch and Jeremiah was climbing all over him, as he is prone to doing. He then jumped on Ben's stomach and Ben said "ouch." Jeremiah, in a very consoling voice, said "Don't worry Daddy, boo-boos can only get better." Ahh, blind optimism.

Blueberry Love!

Davis is teething so I decided to let him enjoy some frozen blueberries.  I remembered that it really helped Jeremiah, not to mention he LOVED them.  I guess I forgot the mess of the blueberry.  Here are pictures of the boys enjoying their frozen berries.  The top two are Jeremiah just before his first birthday followed by Davis at nine months...I still think Davis is much bigger.

9 Month Check Up

Davis had his nine month check up on Friday and all is well.  He is a happy, healthy baby with two teeth on the bottom (the second one popped in on Thursday night).  His percentages have gone down but that is to be expected considering how mobile he is now days.  He is 20.2lbs (50%) and 29 inches long (75%) close to Jeremiah at the same age, he was 19.4lbs and 28 inches long.  It is funny since I can't help but to think of Davis as being so much bigger than J was.  He is eating most everything we are willing to give him and Jeremiah is very gracious with his food.  They are so much fun to watch together, they are very interactive and seem to really love each other.
