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!

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!

Father's Day 2010

We celebrated Father's Day a day early by surprising Kim with tickets to the Cardinals game. It couldn't have been a more perfect day. A huge storm quickly came in about 30 minutes before gametime, which dramatically cooled the temperature. Before, it was 90+ and VERY humid. During the game it was a pleasant 80+ and not humid at all. Delightful!

We enjoyed the game, and Gage was awake and happy the entire time. Most of the game he just sat on our laps and looked out to the stadium! We had access to an air conditioning room during the game, which was wonderful for taking a break and feeding Gage in comfort instead of the crowded stadium.

All in all, we'd take him to another Cardinals game again in a heartbeat. We had a wonderful time celebrating Kim and just how amazing of a Dad he is to Gage... he's the best!

June 6 - 5 months old

Gage is five months today! He's now discovered his feet and tongue, likes to blow raspberries and loves to stand up when you hold him... Oh, and watch the Cardinals! Still as sweet and happy as ever!

Memorial Day - 1st swim

Gage LOVED the water! We swam with Aunt Shana and Malia & Lauryn for about 30 minutes.
