Megan & Kevin: August 2013

7 Months

A lot has happened in this last month! I can't believe how big he is getting, and how much older he seems. He started sitting up by himself right before he turned six months, a week after that got his first two teeth, and a week after that started crawling!! Now he can move around the house like a champ, and has even started pulling himself up using furniture. It's only a matter of time before he's walking!

He is getting so much personality, and can say "mama" and "dada" and know who we are. He is starting to get a little separation anxiety, and when he is on the floor playing and I leave the room he starts crying "ma ma ma ma" and starts crawling towards me, it's so pitiful. He is also "reaching" for people when he wants to be held. I love it!

He still wakes up 1-2 times per night, and still takes three or four 30 minute to 1 hour naps a day. He loves fruit and oatmeal. He spits out most veggies. He giggles, and "talks" all day long. He will give people the biggest smiles, and the I still get the most comments on his eyes. I can't wait for the upcoming holidays, because holidays with a baby are so much better! I love this boy so so so much!!

California Trip

Took a "baby and me" trip to Cali to visit my parents and brother and sister-in-law. Poor Kevin had to stay behind for work. Bradley does SO well on airplanes it amazes me. The first day we got there we went to Todd and Stephanie's apartment and went swimming. Then they watched the baby while my parents took me to see a movie (seeing a movie is a real treat after you have a baby!) then we barbecued. On Saturday we planned a trip out to L.A. and went to Santa Monica beach. It was cold, but it was still fun, I love the beach! We stuck Bradley in the sand and he would just grab at it and look at it. Then we went and walked on the pier. We went to Diddy Riese and got their famous icecream sandwiches, then on to Olvera Street for their famous taquitos!

I flew home on Tuesday, and my flight was at 1 pm. My dad took us to the airport, and we left in plenty of time, but of course, there was a TON of traffic. There ended up being a downed power line on the freeway, so they shut it down. I have never ever missed a flight before, and I knew Kevin would be so upset if we didn't make it. Well by the time we got to the airport they had already shut the airplane doors. I ended up being put on standby for the next flight out at 6:30. SO we had about 5 hours to kill in Long Beach. It ended up being really fun, and it was nice to spend some extra time with my dad. We went to the mall, saw another movie, and had dinner. And then we finally made it home! Kevin was soooo happy to pick us up!
