More fireworks!

The evening before the 4th of July celebrations, my friend Brandy invited us to view the fireworks from the parking lot of her church.  I didn't realize how much fun it could be!  Ashton had tons of little kids his age running around!  This is just what I have been waiting for since we moved back to Maryland......tons of kids running around and having fun!

4th of July 2012

Happy 236th Birthday!  We had a fun day that started with a play date with my friend Clara's two kids. The amazing thing about this is they are the same ages, will attend the same schools and will be in the same class...plus the live less than two miles from us!  Wahoo!




After the play date and nap times, we headed to the boardwalk for some excitement!  There were so many people there!!  We were lucky enough to have a great view from our friends parents condo on 3rd St.  Christian was a tad scared but as soon as he saw the lights he was just fine. Ashton could have really cared less, he was too interested in the new toy trucks he was playing with!



9 months!

Christian is quite the ham these days. He loves going to daycare because he gets all the lovin there!  They ladies just love him to pieces and spoil him like mad!  He is cruising all over, crawling as fast as he can and smiling up a storm.  He is just the best baby!  Here are some fun facts about the little man in my life:
~Still no teeth!!!
~is cruising around the couch to the end tables
~as soon as he sees Makua's water bowl he crawls as fast as he can to splash in it
~'talks' and yells when he wants something - very vocal kid!
~spent his first time without me - I had to go to Atlanta for 5 nights. Nana and Daddy made out great!
~since I was gone and the breast milk ran out, he had his first formula and gobbled it down without issues!!
~Is still sleeping with mommy and Ashton. 
~wakes multiple times a night to nurse
~is starting to have separation issues - he cries when I drop him off at day care and will grunt if I am in the room and he wants me
~Is eating all sorts of soft foods.
~Wearing a size 3 diaper and 9-12 month clothing
~about 21 lbs and 31" in length - big boy!

Ocean City beach fun

We finally headed to the beach this past week so that we could put our toes in the sand and the Atlantic ocean. The water was refreshing and the sand was warm! Christian had a lot of fun playing with his water table and Ashton had a great time hunting for sand crabs.

Splash, splash!

The weather sure is hot in Maryland.  We finally received our PODS so we were able to pull some of the kids toys out.  Christian loves to splash and Ashton loves to run so what better way to cool off than some water table fun and sprinkler fun!
