Off and running

I haven't been too good lately at posting and sharing the events experienced with Gage. He's got a mouth full of 12 teeth, walks everywhere and is trying to run, loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Jungle Junction, dances at the sound of any music, likes to climb up on his daddy and wrestle and the list goes on. One active boy continues to melt our hearts. Gage is full of energy and is a rough and tumble guy with a sweet, loving side too. From talking all the time (about 20 words) to getting into the toilet, garbage, etc., he keeps Kim and I on our toes. Here are a few photos from the past month. 15 months has been full of excitement. Enjoy!

Gage turns one!

10 months and more

So, nine months came and quickly went. He's a crawling machine, and said Mama, Dadda and Nana during this month. Gage loves to pull himself up, eat everything under the sun and get teeth! Within the last week of 9 months, Gage got 4 teeth, totally 6! He doesn't handle it very well and didn't sleep much, but thankfully, they're in and MORE are already almost through... here's to an upcoming steak dinner. Also, during the ninth month, we got sleep. Gage actually went to sleep on his own while he was wide awake. It took him a while, but he did it! Praise the Lord! We actually feel semi-rested from a full night of sleep, and we're VERY thankful for that. So, for the first Halloween, Gage was Tony Romo. A few days prior, the 'real' Romo broke his collarbone, so we made a quick alteration and wrapped him up (this was Kim's idea). Gage enjoyed visiting tons of family and friends and got sooooo many great things.

Since more than a week has past in his 10th month, Gage now says Up, Hi and Bye (waves, too). He melts our hearts every day! Just this weekend, we had a quick visit to Santa, where Gage immediately went for his beard and giggled. Gotta love him! Can't believe his first Christmas and birthday are literally just around the corner. The above photos are from the past two weeks. Enjoy!

9 months

I can't believe Gage is almost one year - eeek! We have been blessed with nine months of G's sweet and hillarious personality. He's scooting around a ton and prefers to go 360 degrees for a while, loves to eat pretty much anything and is talking up a STORM! This week, he learned how to crawl and pull himself completely up and stand up against things. We are soooooo unbelievably blessed that God brought him in our lives - brings us much joy! Enjoy the pics!

8 months

From sitting up, getting two teeth, lunging for toys, eating everything from squash, green beans, yogurt to fruits of all kind... the last 30 days with Gage have been lots of fun! He's talking quite a bit and loves blowing raspberries at anyone who will listen. Love him to pieces!

Impromptu backyard photos - 7 1/2 months

In the swing for the first time!

Gage was playing in his diaper storage canvas just before bed! Looks tired, huh? :)

Six months: July 6

We can't believe Gage is already six months. His personality continues to crack us up! Such a great baby and traveler. We headed to Tennessee on his half birthday, where we hung out with family all week in the Smokey Mountains. Here are some pics of Gage taken in our cabin. Enjoy!
