7 months old and Happy Summer!!

Happy 7 months J.David!! A few of his accomplishments this month are:

His 1st Tooth!!

Getting closer to being on the move

And Just being the Happiest Baby EVER!!

I was hoping naps would get put on the list this month, but we aren't quite there yet...bummer

Here you try it! I don't know if I care for it.

BIG BOY!!
And of course I wanted to send a Happy Summer shout out to my sisters! I know it is not officially summer but as of Friday both sisters will be finished with school for 3 months! WOO HOO!! I have two more babysitters! ha ha ha. I would say I am excited to hang out with them, but they are only excited to hang out with J.David. ha ha..Just joking. Although, I may be able to conserve some minutes on my cellphone this summer since Auntie Em can see J.David and not have to call and check on him 3+ times a week! Welcome Home and Ha ppy Summer you two!! Love you bunches and looking forward to lots of poolside fun this summer.

Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. My first Mother's day was wonderful! Morgan and J.David made sure I had a great day and I can't wait to use my gift card to get a massage. I love being pampered and my boys knew I've been needing it! I sure do love them!! Being in Church holding my son and just the essence of the day really touched my heart both as a daughter and a mother. I got choked up a few times yesterday just at the realization that I have such a beautiful, loving baby boy, but also b/c I have realized over these past 6 months how lucky I am to have such a wonderful mother. I appreciate even more now all things she did for us growing up. Thank you mom for being you and for being the example you are! I wouldn't know what to do without you! I am also very lucky to have a fantastic mother-in-law! I know that not everyone gets this blessing and I am just so blessed to have two wonderful mothers that are such great examples in love, Christianity, and motherhood. We wish we could have been able to celebrate with you both. I don't have my camera near me so here is just a cute one of my dear sweet baby from Friday. Hands behind the head is his "new thing". He does when he is tired mostly, I love it!! SOOO CUTE!!

Friends!!

We have been so blessed here to have so many friends with babies the same age as J.David. Since J.David was about 8 weeks we have been lucky enough to have pretty regular play dates. It has been so wonderful for me as a new mommy to have other new moms to talk to. It is like our own little support group...ha ha. We try to get together at least once a week, and it is definitely one of the highlights of our week. These girls have helped me through pregnancy, breastfeeding, and currently teething...I can't imagine not having them around! Today we went to visit miss Grace and there were 4 of us there. It is amazing how quickly they are growing!! Just a few months ago they probably didn't even realize there were other babies in the room and now they are playing together!! This is going to be such a fun summer!! Here are a few pics:

Who are these big kids??

Busch Stadium, Take two!

Take two was a success!! J.David got to see his first major league baseball game Saturday! I wish I could say that it was a perfect 1st game with fabulous spring weather and a win, but it was a blast anyway!! We started the day by getting picked up by my parents and then heading to lunch at an Irish pub downtown. From there we headed off early to the game so that we could walk around and enjoy the stadium. We try to do that at least 1 or 2 times a year. It was quite chilly and windy so we were all bundled up, but we weren't going to let that stop us! J.David did SOO great! He even fell asleep for a little bit of the game, after much protesting of course. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
