Happy Fall!


It's finally cooling down in Texas and we have been taking advantage of the great weather by spending time outside. You and I had a mommy son day at the Arboretum. You loved the pumpkin patch and thought it was pretty cool that you could lean on them and prop yourself up. We walked all around the gardens then had lunch on the patio at the Degoyler House. Normally you are very quiet in public and are busy taking everything in but sure enough at the fancy restaurant with classical music playing you decided to be Mr. Personality and "talk" the whole time. By talking I mean yelling. Luckily it was busy and I don't think anyone was bothered by your shining personality:) We had such a great time that we decided to become members. This will give us somewhere to escape to on the weekends when Daddy has to sleep in after working nights on his new schedule.

Texas OU

Your best buddy Hadlin came over on Saturday to watch the big Texas OU game. Your grandpa Gary went to school there so we have always been Texas fans but we were more interested in playing with you two cuties!



Backyard Fun

 Some of our best times happen after we wait with anticipation for Daddy to come home. You get so excited to see him then we either go for a walk or go out in the backyard for some playtime. Daddy decided to let you hang out in the back of his truck which you thought was pretty cool!





Fair Day


Fair day was a big success! You had such a great time riding the rides with grandpa David, looking at Big Tex and checking out the animals. 

 You kept putting your hand out to touch the animals but when they would get to close you would snatch your hand away.
 Maybe we will ride this next year!
 Fastest carousel ever! 

 Daddy tried but didn't when you any gigantic scary stuffed animals!





11 Months

You are continuing to master your furniture cruising skills and have also started to buzz around the house pushing your walking toy. You go so fast on the wood floor and it is terrifying but there have been no major incidents so far.

Within the last four weeks your top two teeth have made their way out. You officially have a "toothy" grin now. I think you have two more on top that are about to poke through. Now that you officially have four teeth you have started eating some cafeteria food at school like pot pie, steamed veggies and mashed potatoes. 

Your new trick is "where's the birdie". We have a wooden bird on our mantel that you are fascinated with. When we say where's the birdie your face lights up and you turn and point directly at it. When we say where is mommy or daddy you look really confused:) Oh well at least you know where the birdie is!

Sergeant Daddy


Today your Daddy was promoted to Sergeant. This was a huge accomplishment for him! Brox you and I are very lucky to have such an amazing guy in our life. In addition to his success in his career he is respected and loved by everyone and is going to be an amazing role model for you. We love you Sergeant Colunga!
