Wow! Only one more month to go until August is 1 year old! This has been the fastest year ever! I was just thinking back on a year ago. I was HUGE!!!! And thinking that I would have him "any day"! Now, almost a year has gone by.....and the baby weight is still there :) This has been a wonderful month. It is amazing how much August has learned this month. I think that the biggest change that we can see is that he actually understands what we are telling him. We can ask him a question and he responds in his own wordless way. He loves to point at things. He will point to the clocks and says something that sounds like clock. We can ask him where the light is and he can point to them. His first official word is HOT! He will point at the fireplace, coffee cups, candles and oven and say HOT! He's not walking yet, but I bet if there was a contest out there for the fastest crawler he would win hands down! People comment all the time on how fast he is! He is getting really good at walking around furniture. He will walk if you are holding his hands. And....sigh.....he is into EVERYTHING! Bathroom doors have to stay shut, the pantry door has to stay shut and Darren put cabinet locks on this month! Another biggie this month is that August got his first haircut! I really wanted to wait until he was a year old but....Darren won that one :) I guess he really did need one, but I sure do miss those curls! What an amazing month that we have had here! Until next time....
August loves to watch the washing machine and dryer. I find this comical because when I was a little kid you shut the door and just had to imagine what was going on inside! Now they come with windows!
A fast bath before Sunday meeting. August is going through a stage that he loves to feed himself but makes a huge mess and then likes to run his hands through his hair. He gets lots of baths! He's not complaining though
Found these glasses in Aunt Kylene's playbox. August thought they were just pretty cool!
We went to the ranch while we were in Texas. August had a good time hanging out in the swing and watching all the little boys run and play.
Cousins...Trace, Trevin, Caden, Colby, and August. Little Creed was there but not in this picture.
We forgot to bring hamburger flippers, so the guys all grabbed some type of utensil so try to flip burgers...none of them worked very well. Notice the ax blade?????
Paw-paw took the boys for a ride in the wagon. Trace, Trevin and August.
August loved riding on this school bus at mamaw's. He figured out how to go backwards pretty fast!
August loves playing the piano and was amazed at the organ.
Showing off how he can use a fork now....kindof. :) If you put the food on it, he will put it in his mouth. He actually likes to use a fork better than his fingers!
This is why I can't keep anything clean. I had just cleaned the oven and he comes over and licks it!!!!! Stainless steel and 11 month old boys don't go together very well.
Bye-Bye curls. I didn't get a before picture, so the deal is we have to let it grow out again so that I can get a picture! Ha Ha!
That's quite a bit of hair....sniff, sniff.....my boy is growing up!
August loves to sit in your lap and watch you play the piano. Every once in a while he will chime in but mostly likes to just watch. Here he is watching Brad Holman play!
