9 Months!

Wow! This has been a busy month.  We are currently unpacking from celebrating the 4th and packing at the same time to head out to Arizona for a week.  IP has been a trooper with our adventures so far but I think we will all be stretched a bit with our drive across a few states in the heat of the summer.  Hopefully we'll have a fun report next month;) Please keep us in prayer as we travel with a team to do VBS and spend time sharing the Gospel with the Navajo people in Arizona.

Our happy 9 month old little boy.

8 Months

8 Months and on the move!  He went from barely sitting to crawling and pulling to stand about a week after my last post.  He usually crashes after pulling to stand but he keeps at it.  IP loves his big sis and big bro and tries his best to keep up with them.  He is pretty excited about the new skill of clapping that his big bro taught him while sitting in their car seats today.  All three of these little blessings are a ton of fun to be around.  It's been a busy month but we've had a blast!

Our 1st Family of 5 Camping Trip

We found that camping with all 5 of us is lots of fun and LOTS of work...but worth it....well, IP may not agree with that statement just yet.  It was HOT!  He was happy when he was able to sit in his car seat in the ac as we made a trip to the camp store and the Garner dance.  McB and SLiM LOVED dancing.  We did not get many pics b/c, like I said, camping was work.

Catching up on a few zzzzzzzzzzz's that he missed the night before.

IP and SLiM tagged along on our hike to Circle Bluff at the HEB Foundation Camp.  Mommy and Daddy got a good workout.

7 Months

We have a happy and ACTIVE 7 month old.  I'm sure he will be crawling by his next month day.  He gets up on all 4's and launches himself towards whatever he is reaching for.  He is starting to move his arms a bit during his attempts to crawl but can't quite get his legs to cooperate.  He works on it constantly.  We've even caught him on the monitor in the early mornings in his crib...he must get tired because he goes back to sleep for another hour or so.  He is full of smiles and is trying his best to keep up with McB and SLiM.

Check out his 1st tooth.

Mommy found him in this pose during his tummy time in the morning while mommy was trying to get ready for church.  He uses his rolling or scooting skills to get where he wants to go.

It's a group effort to keep this boy fed.  He LOVES to eat!
