Lilypie Second Birthday tickers

get caught up

So in baby land, 2 months seems like 2 years...they grow up so fast.  They are constantly changing and growing and developing.  Here is a brief rundown of what August has been up to.

August started feeding himself.  This video is his first time trying finger foods around 9 months.  He's a pro now and eats about 75% of his meals with his hands.







August was a tiger for his 1st Halloween.  Our church has a 'fall festival' on Halloween every year so we took August to that.  It was so much fun hanging out with our loving church family and seeing all the kiddos dressed up.  I think we might make that a family tradition.
 


August's best bud, Baba, celebrated his 1st birthday.  I can't believe it's already been a year!

 We drove to Texas for Thanksgiving with Justin's dad and youngest sister, Kaethe.  All of Justin's extended family (on his dad's side) was there, so August got to hang out with Opa and Melba, Tia Cathy, Tio John, cousin Jamie, Tia Pringle, and Tio Michael.  Kaethe took some amazing photos (as usual).















August learned how to clap. 


August's Godparents came out and visited.  Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have from their trip here and they're not even in it.

 





 Christina introduced us to this awesome video that August loves to dance to.











August has gotten pretty good at climbing on and over things.  He likes to make everyday objects (like chairs and boxes) into obstacle courses.
He's still not walking on his own yet, but he will with "assistance".  Here's a video of him in action. 

Let's see...what else has happened?  August has 4 teeth now (2 in 2 days, that was rough!).  He's starting to sign when he's hungry.  He got his first cold, saw his first deer, went to his first jazz concert (and danced the whole time), survived his first road trip, and was afraid of something for the first time (our singing/dancing Christmas flamingo, which he loves now).  I'm sure I'm missing lots, but that pretty much sums up the last 2 months.  The next 2 posts will probabaly be Christmas and then his birthday.  Man does time fly!  I can't believe he's almost 1 already.
