August and September 2010

We realized very quickly that, when Gardner was ready to roll, he was really ready to roll.  We can put him down on the floor in the middle of the rug and within 5 minutes, he is stranded staring at all the dust bunnies under the couch!

Gardner is a huge fan of the Johnny-Jump-Up.  He loves being able to "walk"/"float" above the kitchen/den floor.  It is really cute! He almost fits!

 Gardner also loves his play mat.  He loves to grab at the toys and roll to the side until he gets wrapped around the little poles and freaks out!

Gardner is already really committed to community service.  Here he is at the Forrest Spence 5k volunteering.  He was signing up runners.

He is also a big help when I do laundry.  He rides in the basket to help keep the clothes from blowing out. 

 

This is an example of G's daily exercise.  While he is waiting for his rice cereal he kicks and flails until I come at him with the first bite, it's pretty hilarious!

This is at the hunt camp with daddy.  They were having a good time on the porch where daddy and Pop were putting together a very complicated grill.

This is probably the favorite of all the toys/play apparatus, the exersaucer!!! G can play for up to an hour and LOVES it.  This is usually where he spends his time when mommy takes a shower.

  "Oh, mommy! Your hair looks so funny all wrapped up in a towel!!"

Okay, no "he looks like a girl/why did you put him in a dress" comments.  I worked very hard on this daygown for little G and this is the last time he was going to wear it.  I guess he's just a little too old...sad...

G's favorite picture with his aunt Mol!

 "Oh, daddy, you're so boring! Snore..."

Another cute little snooze...

Strengthening his back in the Bumbo!

Our friends Becca and Kellen brought their twins, Maddux and Avery, to visit for the MTSU vs. Memphis game.  We had lots of fun and the twins enjoyed acting like they were babies in all of G's baby things!

After we all had dinner at our house on Friday night we set out (after Meagan's baby shower-next post) to tailgate all afternoon.  Then Mame' and Grandpa came to pick G up while Mommy and Daddy went to the game.
