Since I have been seriously slacking on posting and sharing pictures, here is what we have been up to lately told through lots of pictures!

Harry

Depending on what day it is (or what hour of the day for that matter) Harry is either a complete joy or difficult to handle!  For the most part, he is hilarious, loving, and content.  Occasionally, he gets a stubborn streak and has no problem spending his evenings in time out.  His speech continues to improve daily.  My favorite saying of his now is "Mc Donalds, where are you?"  At the top of the list of his favorite things right now would definitely be Mc Donalds and his Crocs.  When he first got them, he slept with them! 

Elliot

Elliot is such a breeze.  He couldn't be an easier or happier baby.  We are so truly blessed to have him!!  Two weeks ago, he had his 4 month well baby check.  He got 3 shots and only cried when they gave him the last two!  He was in perfect health.  Here are his latest stats:

• Weight:  13 lbs 7 oz (25th percentile)
• Height 25 1/2 inches (75th percentile)

His head measurement was in the 50th percentile, so I guess he averages out to be right in the middle--a perfect little peanut!  To my surprise, the doctor suggested we start him on cereal (I was planning on waiting another month) so we did that Tuesday night.  He did so well!  He ate almost all the cereal I prepared both times he has eaten it.  Also, more nights than not he is sleeping all night!  I have some trouble getting him to settle down, but once I do he is usually out for a long time.  He knows the way to my heart for sure!

Florida

Last week we were in Florida for Travis's summer development conference.  It was a cheap vacation for us--all we had to pay for was our rental car, Harry's plane ticket, and a few meals.  We had a great time!  During this trip, Travis finalized a deal to join up with a group of big producers which will definitely allow me to go down to part time at the beginning of the year!  We are so completely grateful for that opportunity!  We also celebrated our 4 year anniversary.  It was a great time to reflect back about what you can accomplish in a relatively short amount of time!  Once again, Harry loved the ocean and was a little fish in the pool.  Both boys did great on the planes considering that both flights were scheduled right around Harry's nap time.  Next time we are there, Elliot will be able to join in all the fun!

Tennessee

Here are a few photos from our Tennessee trip over the Fourth of July.

Baby Brady at almost one year old!!

After all of our craziness this month, I am glad to be back at home for a while and try to get settled back into our routine.  It's nice to escape from your life for a while, but for me it is equally refreshing to live out our everyday life here at home.
