8 Months

Little Britches is 8 Months! It is so hard to believe and yet he is not just older by 'days' but is acting and looking more like a toddler every day. He learns or discovers something new daily. He has been crawling since 6 months and standing up next to things for a month now. Britches gets Braver every day...yesterday we were moving some furniture around and we had the sections of the couch a foot apart and he almost took a step away from the one to the other! He has stood up in the middle of the floor and is able to stand without holding on to anything for several seconds. So, yes, our second little boy is growing up...soon to be like our first little boy who is more of a little person today than he was a couple years ago.

Little Britches loves...toilet paper, all food, his big brother, being outside, snuggles, big sister, suckers (of the candy sort) and discovering new things. He has quite the sense of humor already! Big Brother can always make him laugh, sister gets a little overbearing and usually always steels his sucker (pacifier).

Little Britches is 22.5 lbs now.

Brother snuggles in the morning.

Sunset on the Frontier

Between 7 and 8

Catching up on the Frontier...the things that went on between month 7 and 8 of Little Britches.
We had a rather chilly night a while back and this is where our guineas decided to roost for the night!

Sharing a muffin and a stool.

Oops Britches got the muffin and he sure enjoyed it!

This is what Big Guy calls his 'sprayer tent' how it got that name we don't know but they sure enjoyed playing in it and even took one nap and spent one night in it!

Little Britches likes the toilet roll and the kleenex box!

Playing in the sink...actually helping mommy do dishes...if you don't believe me just look...you don't see any dirty ones do you? :)

Now that the dishes are done lets rinse out the sink...and figure out how this thing works!

This is the greatest entertainment in the house! Watching the wash machine go around and around and around and around......

Brother snuggles are the best!

This was the most exciting night in the last month! Yes he is inside the toilet! Well...just the lid. We had to get a new toilet seat and he was checking it out BEFORE we put it on the toilet. This was so exciting to the kiddos that we had to call Grandma and tell her! Is our house boring or what!!?!!

7 Months

Now that Little Britches is 8 months let me get our readers a 7 month update! It is awful how behind Mommy gets around here sometimes! But when you have three little ones it is very seldom they all sleep at the same time! Right now the house is quiet so am taking advantage of that time to give you this update!
I just love how these pictures turned out. They are not perfect nor are they professional but they sure do capture his expression and some of his personality too!

Little Britches was making...or rather...trying to make a tractor sound like Daddy.

Look What I Have!

This is a very common expression! Can you see the mischief in his eyes?! This was right before he made a grab for the camera. :)

And a portrait of all three. :) Just kidding this is the fellow who came to visit the other day. Just before we got a couple days of wind and warmer weather. That is when he decided to go further north...or rather got blown eastward! He was a funny fellow...LOVED standing on his head! That is all we could get him to do for this picture. Little Britches was sleeping for once and missed out on this lovely visitor.
