1 month in and 1 month to go!!

I snapped a picture of Curt in the houndstooth hat the other night. Aunt Katie reminded me of a picture we took of Curt with it on when he was 1 month old. So here is a comparison of how much he has grown him 10 months!!

Spaghetti Night!!!!

Tonight was Curt's first spaghetti night and he LOVED it!! We had to immediately put him in the bathtub afterward. Oh....also there was an orange ring around the tub when I got him out. Anyway, it was a huge mess but a fun mess. Here are the pictures we snapped in the highchair and the tub. Enjoy!!

Curt's Safari Ride

When I was pregnant I found this huge giraffe that I wanted for Curt's nursery. Luckily, Gram liked it too and wanted Curt to have it. Ever since we brought it home from the shower Lee has been itching for Curt to be old enough to ride it. Well....last night was the night Lee had been waiting for. Curt and Tank took their first ride. Curt still needed a little support, but really enjoyed it. Here is the proof.......

Daddy's Home Just in Time for 11 MONTHS!!!

Lee arrived late last night and Curt turned 11 months today. So much has happened these past few months. We are so happy to have Lee home!!! Curt was very surprised when he woke up this morning and saw his daddy. I must say, Tank was probably the most excited. He hasn't been able to stay to far away. He LOVES Lee!!! We've had a pretty boring and lazy day today. Sometimes it is nice to have those days so you can truly spend time with your family.
On another note......my baby is a month away from his 1st birthday!!! I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by. He is doing so many new things. We are completely off baby food. If you have been around Curt the past few weeks you know that he is a great eater. Table food is new best friend. He drinks out of his sippy cup all day and has 1 bottle at night. I cannot believe how easy that has been, since he LOVES his bottle. He is turning into such a big boy.

He is so close to walking he could taste it. He is letting go of furniture and reaching out for things like he is going to go get them. Dadadada is his favorite thing to say....of course. How is it that his Daddy leaves for 4 months and he says his name all the time and he refuses to say mine? He is saying more and more things all the time so I am sure Mama has to come out soon :) It won't be long before I am posting birthday pictures. I sure hope this last month drags on and on and on!! Here are some pictures of Curt watching his Daddy mow the yard this morning.

Dining Out in Missouri

This past weekend I ventured to Missouri for a long weekend with Lee, and yes......... I left Curt!! It wasn't easy, but was a much needed trip. Curt got to spend some good one on one time with his grandparents. We are very blessed to have parents that are so willing/eager to keep him.
Anna and I traveled together again and had a great road trip. Friday night was the ball/Dining out. It was a lot of fun to get dressed up. I haven't bought a dress like this since prom. We had a great time at the dinner. I enjoyed meeting all of Lee's new friends and their families. Saturday we took a mini-road trip to Lake of the Ozarks, which was great. We loved it so much that we decided we needed to take a family vacation there soon. Sunday was a lazy day followed with a small fishing trip. I definitely did a lot with the boys this weekend. Lee met some great guys and established some great friendships. I cannot believe this journey is over for the two of us. We are very excited to have "Daddy" back!!! Here is a picture of us at the dinner :)

4th of July Festivities!!

This past weekend we celebrated the 4th with a nice trip to Destin and a wedding. Actually, the wedding was in Destin and Lee was a groomsman. Katie was invited to babysit Curt while we enjoyed the festivities at night. It was so great to have Lee home for the weekend and celebrate at the beach. Just 16 more days and he is HOME FOR GOOD!! Curt and I are very excited!! Unfortunately, we didn't take any pictures at the wedding. Katie managed to snap a few of Curt one night eating a hair brush. The other pictures are of Master Curt eating his breakfast in bed. Katie prepared him a gourmet meal each morning and served it to him in her bed. He loved it!! I am going to go out on a limb and say he is SPOILED!! Enjoy :)

I Love My Hairbrush!!!Bananas and a biscuit......GONE!!!
