Country livin'

Ok, I will do a post on how our little guy is 8 months old today later when I have more time and because I wanted to go ahead and get these pictures up from last weekend. A few rays of sunshine peeked through the clouds so we decided to get outside and go to the country (plus there were some mud puddles Russell wanted to investigate with his truck!). It was still a little cool but the fresh air felt wonderful and Russell took some amazing sunset pictures.

My country boys!

Just like Dada

I saw this onesie on Old Navy's website and knew we had to get it. Unfortunately the baby boy section at our Old Navy is crummy so my Mom-ma ordered this for Cole for Christmas. It says "Big and Strong just like Daddy". After taking the first two pictures, I took a random picture while doing laundry. Those socks happened to be piled next to each other and I thought it was cute how much perspective it brought to the size difference and how we aren't quite as big as Dada yet!

Whatcha lookin' at?!

Buddies - pillow fight

Poor Baxter. The older and more mobile Cole gets (we can wiggle 360 degrees and backwards plus roll across a room!), the less "me" time Baxter gets. A majority of Baxter's day is spent looking out the front window barking at people, cars, birds, bugs, and air. He has lost his "perch" (my papasan..spelling?..chair) since he hurt his back and just has these pillows to sit on to look outside and sunbathe, when the sun actually comes out. It's a rough life, I know. He had this room to himself until we moved the computer desk in here when we turned the computer room into the nursery. So when I work on the computer some during the day, Cole plays on the floor next to Baxter. Here is what happened the other day...

First and foremost a posed shot for Mom. Even the dog child knows to look at the camera:)

Baxter: "Kid, you better back up off this pillow if you know what is good for you. I remember what you did yesterday...."

(Yes, he is holding the tail)

"Ok, that's it. Maybe a thorough licking will teach you whose pillows these are!"
