New Tricks

I turned eight months old on Monday. To celebrate, Mom and I went to Walmart and I rode in the shopping cart for the first time. At first I wasn't really sure about it. But after a few minutes, I decided that I liked it.

Look what else I'm doing now that I'm eight months old!

hiking with the new backpack

The days lately have been so nice around here.

We've had some temps in the 80's even.

Crazy for this time of year! I think we just skipped over spring weather.

Maybe we'll still get it.

The other day, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful sunny weather and explore a new trail we discovered recently. It's pretty much down the street from our house and quite convenient. The whole trail is about 4 miles or so. We just walked about three quarters of a mile in and then the same back out. Someday, when we have more time, we'll do the whole thing.

It was Diesel's first time hiking in a trail like that. She LOVED it!!

But it wore her completely out. She just slept the rest of the day.

Apparently, it also wore the little man out.

Whew!! It's exhausting sitting in this new comfy backpack, checkin' out nature and chilling with my Dad!!

seven months

It was definitely an adventure getting our seven month picture this week.

We tried for quite some time to get him to smile AND look at the camera AND leave the cupcakes alone AND ignore the ugly dolls. It was fun!

After trying for two days, we finally settled on this one. He's smiling and sort of looking the way of the camera. :)

Here are some outtakes.

We tried for awhile to get a good pic and then decided to take a break and try later.

He started get smiley after we changed him into his PJs so Dustin attempted some more pics. Too bad we didn't have the cupcakes! :)

Then the next day we tried again.
