A Slice of Life

Here are some recent pictures for far-away family to enjoy, and close family for that matter!


This boy is a full 8 months and is loving life. He's all over the place and he gets so happy when he discovers new things each day. He loves to walk, with help of course, and is now pulling up on anything that counts for support!


And, yes, he's wearing suspenders - thanks to Aunt Kendra. We think it's the cutest thing ever. You can see in the picture below that he was wearing old-fashioned shoes that matched.
Can't be bothered, Mom. Can't you see I'm busy in Nana's toy box?




This is my favorite onesie that I picked up in Canton before the little guy was born. We decided it's our family theme for 2009...to potty like rockstars!


I came home the other day from a run to find my two boys out playing on the front lawn. We had sprinklers put in last fall and the grass didn't have time to grow back in over the trenches they dug, so there is a perfect trough of mud for little boys to play in. The mud all over the p.j.s and the dirt I found under Gray's fingernails were too cute to be bothersome.

(For those of you unfamiliar with Texas Winters, our grass "hibernates" in the wintertime, so that's why it looks dead. Lame, I know.)

Who doesn't love a happy baby? Or the wonderful Texas weather that let's us enjoy the out of doors in January?

That's it for now.

Oh. My. Goodness. He is so cute! I love his standing pictures. And that smile could melt anyone's heart.
And to be able to run outside and take my daughter outside...one day!
Love it!

cute, cute, cute, CUTE! I miss that little man. He looks adorable. I love the age he's at right now. I remember 9 months old being the month my kids blew me away with all the new things they'd start doing. I'm so baby hungry!

what a great shot in that last picture! So photogenic! I'm so jealous of all the Texan's posts of the beautiful weather. I do miss Texas this time of year....

That boy is scrumptious. Such a cutie and I absolutely love the suspenders and shoes. Sometimes I feel like I'm still playing dolls when I dress up my kids in their handsome outfits, but just one of the joys of being a mom.

I love the pictures. Graydon is so, so CUTE! We're working on potty stuff at our house. Not fun. But I love the shirt. How does one potty like a rockstar? Oh, and I'm jealous of your Texas weather. Maybe I should add Texas to the places I wouldn't mind living.
