Morning walk

Daddy and Miles are out of town. They will be back late tonight. It was so quiet this morning I had to get out of the house and go for a walk. Roscoe loved it and you were a trooper in the backpack. We haven't used that pack as much as the ergo but I know we will when we go on our trips to the mountains and hawaii later this year.

The early morning walk makes me want to get out with you kids before your am nap more. The air, the stillness and the light beat the sluggish fog that falls over the kitchen in the mornings.

That mug... so cute! I had to crop a friend out of this photo but couldn't pass up that squishy face.

Kisses

Kung fu and crawling

Awesome Kung Fu Kicks and my camera lens cap. I tried to get some shots for my class but didn't get what I was looking for. I still love all the shots of you. Playing with all your toys... a wooden rattle and the fisher price farm are you favorites. The rattle you will hold onto for dear life when we are outside the house and the farm you will open and close the gates for about 15 minutes straight. So sweet to watch.

Looks like Daddy

You look like daddy and I love you just at much, if not more... shhh don't tell him.

oh so sweet

Happy boy! Most of the smiles are when the cat came in to see what was going on. Look at those rolls. I can barely get you to sit in the tub long enough to wash you. You still love the water though and fuss sometimes when I take you out.

Brothers

Boys, boys and more boys! I got the camera out just in time but had it on auto so the focus was off with my shallow dof. I still love them!

Plus.... the final shot is Ash trying to get his chubby chubby arms in the closed toy bins. LOVE

watermelon!

A million and one shots of you eating watermelon. You love it. Eat it so quickly and so excitedly. Reminds me to go to the grocery store tomorrow.

Ash update

Poor boy doesn't have the same influx of posts as Miles' did at this age. I have to say that the posts you have document things better. At least the photos are. I was just diving into photography when Miles was born and look back at the shots with so much love because they are of my baby but it is hard to ignore how different my pictures are today. Hard work pays off :)

A little bit about what you are up to

- you smile a ton
- a baby of observation, you are always watching and taking things in.
- starting to cruise and tackle the stairs with confidence
- eat finger food and everything off my plate (and miles which he isn't the biggest fan of)
- you sleep almost through the night only to wake around 4 or 5 am to eat and then back you go
- 2 naps still but hoping to move you to 1 very soon
- no teeth yet!
- you love to cuddle into me when I hold you. it melts me
- when you drink your milk (only about 3 times a day now phew!)  you always stick your feet in my face and pull at my lips or hands.
- when I come in to get you from your crib you look at me, smile and then look behind me hoping to see the cat. Most of the time she is right behind me

Many blog updated

I have a many updates to do! Hope to get these done before they pile any higher.

So loved

I can't stand how much I love you. Okay maybe I can.

Scrambled

New food and you weren't so sure at first but enjoyed it by the end

Dog Park

First time visiting a dog park without the mrs.  Also the first time taking two kids solo to the dog park. Success!  Roscoe was a champ and both the kids were as well. Miles just wanted to turn the water on for the pups and toss balls. Ash could stare at them playing all day.  After some pinkberry we headed home.
