Summer Overview.

Making this post made me so homesick for summer...aaand its only December...5 months to go. Dang. Anyway here is a summary of our summer 2013.

He's obsessed with these glasses.

This is a pool at my friends sisters house. We tried to swim as much as possible.

Lots of morning cruises on the bike

 Our summer project was our sunroom. We had an enclosed sunroom that we haven't used at all since we moved in. It always felt dirty and full of spiders to me. So we decided to take the walls down and make it into a covered patio. I painted the cement floors and stained the wood that we kept there.

Nate tearing everything out!

And this is how Brigham has to bathe while the bathroom is getting redone. 

He ate dirt while I was gardening

 Nate didn't ride in Lotoja this year but we did go up to Jackson Hole and Stayed a few nights.

We forgot to bring our pack so this is how we hiked with Brig. Ha

Brig's first haircut

My sweet boy is nine months old! I can hardly believe that he has been with us as long as I was pregnant with him. Its gone a lot faster with him out then in thats for sure! He has his 2 bottom teeth and one broke through on the top and the other top tooth is really close.  He is in 12-18 month clothes. He is still the sweetest baby. He is so smart. He has lots of tricks now. He will wave "bye bye", claps his hands for patty cake, he will copy noises, give high 5's, and when you tell him to stretch or say do big boy, he will tilt his head and raise his hands above his head. He is still not crawling yet but he will crawl for a second then he will drop to his belly and army crawl to what he wants. He is becoming more aware of what is around him and he gets scared really easy. At his appointment he was really unsure of everything that the doctor was doing to him and he was fussy or crying the whole appointment. Its fun to see him change.

One of his first times swimming

This is how he likes to sleep... right on his face

So big in his carseat

He's so close to crawling!

He love to copy, if I scream he'll do it back

He puts everything in his mouth.

Copy cat!

We have had such a fun summer, I am dreading the thought of cold weather! We have one more month of summer...gotta live it up!

The Fourth of July Celebrations!

We had such a fun fourth of July this year!! The fourth is one of my favorite holidays. My family came over on the third and we had dinner and fireworks. They slept over that night in tents in the back yard and we went to breakfast in the park and the Huntsville parade in the morning. Then we went back to my house had a BBQ and a water fight in the backyard and went to the fireworks that night. Brig loved the fireworks! I thought he might be scared of them but he did really good! He just sat there and watched. The parade was fun but it was so hot this year! So we basically just sat under a tree the whole time. Having my family sleep over was so fun! Can't wait to do it again next year!
