8 months.

 1 month.

 2 months.

 3 months.

 4 months.

 5 months.

 6 months.

 7 months.

 8 months.

dear nug, 

unbelievable - a whole eight months with you in our lives.  the time is flying by and i wish i could freeze time or make it go in slow motion perhaps because you being 8 months is a blast!

your new thing is pulling up.  pulling up on big toys, your crib, chairs, the couch, tables - just about anything you can get your hands on.  and when you get up you scream {and i mean SCREAM} in delight.  you are so very proud of yourself and we are so very proud of you.  

you are crawling a little bit here and there as well, so you are one busy bee these days - keeping your mama and daddy very busy.  especially when we try and change your diaper.  you are on the move and sitting still for a few minutes during a diaper change is not your favorite activity my little wiggle worm :)

you continue to smile and giggle constantly.  it makes us so very happy to see how happy you are on a daily basis.  you are the light of our life and we simply cannot imagine our life without you being the center of it.

we love you so very much, 

mama

a lunch date at 2amys.

cousin kitty {actually my mom's cousin} and cousin gina {kitty's daughter; which makes her my 2nd cousin - right!?} were in town from charlottesville, va.  so we met up for a lovely lunch date at 2 amy's pizzeria - one of our very favorites places.  logan was so excited about them visiting she kept screaming with happiness throughout the entire meal - opps.  it was wonderful to catch up with these two texans.

a day at the wineries.

for jeffrey's 30th bday celebration, he took the day off from work and we made a little day trip to visit some nearby wineries.  we started at rappahannock and finished up at one of our all time favorites - hume.  it was a delightful afternoon out in the country and talking about wine with the local wine makers.  it is so peaceful and beautiful out in the virginia wine country - wouldn't it be amazing to have a little cabin out in the country?

weekend bits {according to instagram}.

we were lazy this weekend.  as in not getting out of our pjs until at least noon on both mornings.  well, that might be more true for me and logan than jeffrey, but still.  we were trying to beat the heat - it was around 106 degrees around these parts and we didn't want anything to do with it.  we enjoyed dinner with friends as well as a humid happy hour on the stoop with neighbors, but other than that we were pretty housebound.  and it was glorious. 

 pj party!

 jeffrey's yummy breakfast tacos

 cool lighting at taylor gourmet

 daddy, can i have some?

happy baby!

our 4th of july.

we spent our 4th relaxing in a pool, eating scrumptious crabs/ribs/green beans/watermelon and catching up with friends.  we saw a few fireworks in there too.  also, a huge shout out to my dad who celebrates his birthday on the 4th - when he was little he thought all the firework shows were for his birthday.  isn't that cute?
