We had a fun little trip to Granbury for a few days last weekend. We got to spend a lot of time with the Great Grandparents and Uncle Brett!Grandma and Grandpa Tomlinson are in New Mexico right now working at a church camp. Nash had a great time chasing Maximus around (poor dog) and exploring two houses that until he has gotten mobile have been uncharted territory. Great Granddaddy and Nana even came and spent the night with us on Friday night! Even though it was because their AC wasn't working right. I think Nash still loved climbing in bed with them in the morning.

poor Maximus. He yanked and pulled his tail all weekend

he tasted it a few times too

a belly shot! finally. This is about 24 weeks!

Baby Proofing 101-close the bathroom door!

Parenting is a very humbling experience to say the least. Here is what happened this evening. Normally I keep the bathroom doors closed, but we had just gotten in from being out of town for a few days and with unpacking everything I just forgot. I was cooking dinner and Eric was outside watering when I noticed I couldn't hear him anymore.....by the time I got there he was elbow deep, so I figured a few more seconds to get it on video couldn't hurt! ha














this one is for the Grand and Great Grandparents....just because hes SO DARN CUTE!!!

my sweet little boy

love this boy!

why are you taking pics of me eating MOM??

Everything has to be on the floor

Hi all-

We are trying our best to stay as cool as possible with this weather. blah. It stinks we can't go outside. You really can't even swim until late in the evening and then Nash is already in bed. He is so prone to heat rash that he ends up getting it everytime we go venture out. Sometimes putting clothes on him makes him get it around his neck area. poor little hot natured guy!

Nash is growing and changing everyday! He is VERY busy right now and it seems like all we do is chase him around and get him out of his precarious positions that he ends up in. He pulls up on everything but then can't seem to figure out how to get back down gracefully yet, so he just stands there and whines until someone comes and gets him. I think about letting him just figure it out himself occasionally, but it would break my heart if he got hurt trying to "fall" gracefully, so for now we grab him and sit him down. Most of the time hes back up before I can even turn around!

He has started giving me kisses the last few days. He knows what hes doing for sure, but it's just the wide open mouth slobbery ones for now, which I never thought I would love so much!

Hes not much into baby food anymore, he would rather feed himself with something with a little texture and substance to it. He love grapes, raisins, turkey and chicken sticks. Yogurt and applesauce are ok too, but only if I make him.

Hope you guys are enduring the heat well! Love you all.

8 months old!!!!

Hi baby!

I love this pic! this is a great pic of his personality

8 months old! such a big boy

He makes this terrible screeching sound and this is the face that goes along with it!

Wow! Time flies! I can't believe Nash is 8 months old! And I really can't believe we will get to meet this little girl in less than 4 months! yikes. This pregnancy is flying by and I almost feel like she is neglected because I know I don't think about here nearly as much as I did with Nash. I know she's ok in there though, and believe me...she's getting fed well! ha.

Eric is FINALLY finished with baseball for the season! whoo hoo. and he's making progress on the pond very quickly. I think everyone but me is very excited about it...neighbors included. Hopefully I will come around eventually. I just think of Nash and snakes and mosquitoes!! That makes it a big NO from me right now.

Nash--buddy, you have changed soooo much in the last month.
-You are crawling like crazy. I think we should see if there are any crawling races and enter you because you are one fast little booger.
-You have also started pulling yourself up! First on the couch and now on everything. Some things scare Mommy a little, like the bathtub. yikes. I can just see him cracking his head on the tile floor, so we try to stay on the carpet at all times. I've never liked carpet so much in my life and very grateful we have it!
- You are starting to babble a little and the B sound is your favorite right now.
-You still have four teeth, but with the way you haven't been sleeping through the night lately, I wouldn't be surprised to see more very soon.
-You wake up about once a night now. Pretty soon I'm going to try letting you cry it out and see what happens because I think you are waking up out of habit and not because something is wrong or you're hungry. I just walk in there and pick you up and almost always pretty quickly rock you right back to sleep. Mommy just needs to get over the need to go check on you. Hopefully I can round up the courage soon.
-We love you so much and can't wait to see what is in store this month!


This video if for my Dad! see how much I love you! I put my fat self on video just so you could see how much your grandson is growing!
