13 Months...

Once again another month was filled with all sorts of new sights, sounds, discoveries and accomplishments. Biggest of them all, we no longer have a baby... Brendan is officially a toddler...

We had a great month with our first trip to the River and some fun Family Play Days including a trip to Aquarium.  With Labor Day around the corner cooler weather just may be ahead too, so we can really play all day outside without overheating (lol).
 
  •  B officially became a walker a few weeks ago.  He still prefers crawling, but every day he is walking more and more and more... So fun to watch him look like a drunk stumbling about (lol)...
  • There are now 8 pearly whites in B's little mouth. Maybe we'll get a break from teething for a little while before the next set comes along.
  • Always the ladies man B has began blowing kisses to all the girls/ladies he meets.  It's funny if you don't kiss back at him, because he get louder and louder until you do.
  • Obsessions of the month: Opening & closing the doggie gate to Owen's room, climbing, finding Horsie and closing any open door he finds.
Until Next Month...

The Comal

Gotta love the river if you are from Texas. Well, maybe not, but our family sure does...  A weekend of family, friends, food, tubing, relaxing, having a great time and building a lifetime of memories is what this annual family trip is all about.

Here are just a few thoughts from B on what he thought of his first trip. 
 
"Road Trip!!! I had lots of fun being chauffeured across Texas."
"Enough with unpacking people, get me to the water! I'm ready..."
  "Wow, the river is really cold, I mean really cold. Next year I want floaties like the bigger kids and my own tube!"
"Ok, is it nap time yet? I'm pooped from all that splashing around.  I thought you said I could relax all weekend?"
"Yay, I had a great time, especially with my cousins, and met some really cool new people. I can't wait to go again next year."

Until next time...
