Slade...8 months

Slade is now 8 months old and I must say (in my opinion) he is the best baby ever (and he is pretty darn cute too). He smiles all the time, giggles constantly and eats and sleeps great. We feel so very BLESSED to have him in our lives. He is a very laid back and mellow kind of baby. If he feels like rolling over he will. If he feels like sitting he will. For the most part, he is very content just chilling on the floor playing with toys and watching our every move (or the fan on the ceiling). I LOVE this little guy to pieces. He is as crazy about us as we are about him and he is a HUGE fan of his big brother already! Every morning he looks for him first thing. And when he hears his voice from another room he immediately begins to kick his legs, flail his arms and get all excited to try to find him. I love watching them together...and Ryker is an AWESOME big brother! He pretty much eats anything I give him...not picky at all. Loves jelly sandwiches, applesauce and pudding. His new thing is copying us. He has this fascination with hats. As soon as Ben puts one on he gets so excited and tries so hard to get a hold of it. I love all the things he is doing now but I miss those newborn days...they go by way too fast! Here is a picture of our handsome little (big) guy!

Blogging...Take Two!

Seriously, where has time gone? It seems like I just had Slade and yet he is already 8 months old. Time goes too fast if you ask me...I just want to savor these days forever yet I know that is not possible! Well, I hope you are all sitting for what I am about to say next...ready, here it comes...I decided to start blogging again. I know you can hardly contain your excitement, huh! :) I am going to be doing lots of "catch up" so I will be making a few back dated post...there are many things I want to remember and pics I want to share but time just got away from me. However, there is nothing like cold and wet rainy nights to get caught up (on at least some stuff) so here we go, take 2.
