Bath Time!

Silas is into EVERYTHING! And that means his body is dirty most of the time. Good thing he enjoys bath time so very much!!!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!!

On Thursday, we celebrated J.L.'s 29th birthday!! He was slightly under the weather, so we have more pics of Silas than him it seems! But we had a blast spending time together, going to the park and opening presents with Mom and Dad (in the parking lot!) As you can see, much eating was involved. After eating chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast we headed into the kitchen to find Silas, on all fours, licking his tray clean. That afternoon he was stealing Daddy's snickerdoodle treats right out of his mouth. This boy LOVES to eat!

Today's Adventures!

So, today we clearly had a sippy cup malfunction. Silas has been doing great with the whole transitioning to the cup thing. The cup has not made out as well! So, we are beginning to get used to the milk getting everywhere but his mouth. And people wonder why he eats so much at meal time!

Another interesting thing is that Silas began to understand the "I'm one year old" concept without us teaching it to him. We asked him today how old he was and each time he held up one finger. Brilliant!!!!!

The Summer!

This summer has really gotten away from us! We would have liked to have kept up better with the whole blogging thing...but we have been far too busy! So, instead, we'll have to show you everything at once! We hope you have left yourself plenty of picture-viewing time! You're gonna need it!!
So, here we go! A summer of firsts it has been...as you will soon see! Silas is on the move!! From Canada to Kingdom Bound, retreats, camping, bonfires, reunions, picnics...he keeps up with the pace that we call life and loves every minute of the adventure! And we LOVE having him along for the ride!!

August!!

August has been an incredible month. It's been so incredible, we apparantly want to underline the entire posting.

This month, Silas went camping for 5 days to a Christian music festival, celebrated a 25th Anniversary, a 65th Anniversary for his Great-Nanny and Poppie, rode on his first carousel and Ferris Wheel, attending his second wedding and sat atop a Rolls Royce. And when all was said and done, had therefore eaten a LOT of cake. Well, the 22 lbs. had to come from somewhere!
