Grandma & Grandpa and a Happy Easter!

M's parents came out for a visit last week. It was so great to have them around. We had fun watching conference together, and seeing the sites around town. D and I were even able to sneak away for a night leaving the Grans to babysit while we celebrated our anniversary. T warmed up to his Grandma and Grandpa fast and enjoyed all the extra attention. We got used the them being around and were sad to see them leave.

Grandma got T a new toy. T can now pull himself up on things and scoot around them, so a walker is a perfect help to get him fully mobile. He has gotten really good at walking on his own. Maybe T can inspire great grandma to get walking! Thanks for the great present Grandma!

Unfortunately they couldn't stick around for the Easter weekend. But we had a good time celebrating with good friends. It's great to see T interact with other kids. He loves the entertainment. The blank stare isn't a good measure of all the fun being had.

Here is our little man and his cute Easter outfit. He doesn't wear shoes too often, which made him very interested in them. He couldn't figure out how to take them off, which was perfect for us.

We hope everyone had a happy easter!! Stay tuned for breaking stories of T's first steps!!

Happy 8 Months!

Our baby is growing up. He is getting around so well now. It's fun to watch him! He is so interested in his surroundings. He follows us around the house wanting to play. We are enjoying it (minus some whining that isn't enjoyable). We had to lower his crib mattress this past week because he is starting to climb. He is getting better at pulling himself up, and in the process has taken some falls.

T has learned all about food. He is exploring all types of foods now. He usually wants to eat what ever Mom and Dad are eating. I just don't think we are ready for him to start picking out his own food yet. I wonder how many more times T is going to be in this same position looking for something to chow on. Look how cute our little man is standing up on his own. So amazing!

T has a voice and loves to hear it. He thinks he is having a conversation with us and it is so cute. He is always making noises. We caught this conversation on walk we took, one of his favorite things to do. This is my favorite sound in the whole world.

I know we've said it before....but we are continually amazed watching him grow. And we are so glad we get to catch some of these great moments on camera.

T is mobile

T has finally done it, after weeks of frustration and many close attempts, he can crawl. It was neat to see how he progressed and learned a little more everyday. It first started with him getting on his hands and knees. Then he started pushing off with his feet. The last step was figuring out how to move his arms while on his knees. He finally figured it out and we couldn't be prouder. It was hard to get it on video, because every time he saw the camera he would freeze. This was day one of crawling, he was still kinda of scooting, but he was happy to be able to move around.

By day three he was up on his hands and feet and moving right along.
