4th of July

We had a rainy 4th of July here in Austin. Actually, it has been raining for about 2 weeks now. I think we are all about to float away. Anyways, we had a pretty lazy 4th of July. Mimi, Papa, and Andrew came over and hung out and Papa made some delicious ribs for us. We had fun. Peyton also had is first banana. He wasn't really sure what to do with it but loved smashing it all over his high chair. It got really slimy and messy but it was fun watching him enjoy it.
Peyton pulled up on his knees for the very first time. We were so proud, although he wouldn't pull to a standing position yet!

Here are all the boys taking their afternoon naps!

My first banana!

Hmmm, what should I do with it.

Mimi tries to get me to put it in my mouth.

Now, Dad tries.

I think I will just squish it.

Around the House

Now that Peyton is crawling all around he has found some new favorite things to play with. His favorite thing to get into is the fireplace. He loves to stick his fingers in there and play with the mesh screen. I didn't get any pictures of this because I am trying to get him not to play in there. He has been such a joy to watch. I love watching him explore our house. He gets entertained by the funniest things. Here are some pictures of him exploring his new surroundings. I love to open and close the door!

Wow, its kinda cold in here.

Mmmm, this looks fun to play with.

Peyton loves this box. He likes to try to take the lid off. Here are the puppies. Peyton will crawl over and see them from wherever he is in the house. He would stay here for hours and stare at Bambi if I would let him.

This is Peyton's new favorite toy. He loves the door stop. It makes great sounds. Here are Mommy's shoes. Even more fun.

Peyton is trying to crawl and get the puppies. They run as soon as he gets close but he tries anyways.

Play Group

We had play group today and it is amazing how big all of our little babies are getting. We got to take a couple pictures of some of the kiddos today. We are going to try to do this every so often so we can have some pictures of them growing up together. Hopefully next time we can get everyone in the picture. Also, we have to have them all to stay in one place for enough time to get a picture.

So Big

My Mom came into town last week and took Peyton to Toys R 'us . He picked out this cool musical table. He can actually stand on his own and play with it. (if I prop him up there) He loves it and it is so much fun watching him enjoy his independence. The t-shirt he is wearing is a Dixie Chicken t-shirt. I got it for him before I even knew I was pregnant. It is so funny how small it looked then and how huge it still is on him. For all of you non Aggies the Dixie Chicken is a famous bar/restaurant in College Station that my Uncle owned and now my cousins run . You must visit if you are ever in town, it gives you a taste of Aggieland.

Here are some more random cute pictures of Peyton.

Welcome Baby McComb

Two of our good friends from college Justin and Ashely McComb just had a baby boy. He was born June 20th at 2:03 in the afternoon. He was 7 lbs, 14 oz and they named him Alexander Reece. Peyton and Alex will be in the same class at aTm together :) He is so precious and we can't wait to see him in person. Congrats you guys! Here are some pictures of the little guy. You can see more of little Alex at http://anaggieaddition.blogspot.com/

Father's Day Pictures

Peyton and I went and got pictures taken for Father's Day. They turned out great. I love them. We got them taken for Mark to have in his office. Also, to update everyone Peyton is now army crawling everywhere. He is pretty fast and gets wherever he would like to go. Hopefully, we can get some video up for you guys.
