First off I want to thank everyone that comments on the blog.  I really appreciate the feedback and love that people actually look at our site :)

Here are Taedon's 3 months pics done by our photographer.  He's such a ham.

A couple of firsts for the little guy lately.  He tried cereal with a spoon and went on his first plane ride.  Both went pretty well.  He has stopped sleeping through the night randomly which hasn't been fun for us but we are hopeful that it is a phase and he decides to love sleep again very soon.

Taedon now prefers to sit in the stroller without the car seat.  Here is his first time sitting in it after I got the straps adjusted.  He really likes his new option to be able to see everything as we walk.



Our first attempt at the spoon.  Open up little guy...it's yummy I promise.


Wearing as much as he ate and having fingers for desert.  We forgot to use a bib so it was quite a mess but he was getting a bath next anyhow so it didn't matter.





Practicing tummy time.  Niko is such a good "big brother" and is always laying near Taedon when he is playing on the floor.  I think these two will be best buds in no time.  Taedon smiles every time he sees Niko.


He was studying in this one.  It was funny to watch because he was really looking at the pages taking in the pictures.



We went to San Diego last week so that Dontae could graduate with his masters from University of San Diego.  Taedon did really well on the plane (for the most part) and we had a great time.  Wish we could have stayed longer but enjoyed the time we got.

At the park lounging by the bay.  The weather was beautiful of course but a bit chillier than we are used to in the shade.



Us with the Coronado bridge behind us.


At Coronado beach...his first time in the sand.  He wasn't quite sure about it but seemed to like it.




At graduation...



Proud papa.  Been a busy but successful two years.


Hanging out on his boppy at the house.  He's getting so big.




First Ravens game with dad.  Now that we live on the east coast the game went way past his bedtime so he didn't get to be up for all of it but was around for the beginning.

I just realized I haven't posted in awhile so these pics go back a couple of weeks.  Enjoy our latest adventures!

The boys napping.


His first time holding a toy himself and putting it in his mouth.  He was thrilled!


Crusin' in his walker.  Ok not so much cruising as much sitting there looking cool since his feet don't yet touch the floor.  He still enjoyed it.


Yes mom...I'm cute




Fourth of July!!!  I found this cute recipe I decided to try.  Came out pretty cute I think and they tasted oh so yummy!


Sporting his bib


The makeshift crib we made at the Napier's house for his nap.



Ride on daddy's shoulders



Bath time!



Every night after his bath he gets his hair "done" by daddy and every night there is a new hair style.  This night he was very talkative and then proceeded to give dad's work the once over when complete.


 {I'm working on getting this video uploaded...it isn't working for some reason}

We finally got into DC and toured for a bit while my mom and sister were in town. 

In front of the Lincoln Memorial



Family pic


While we were posing for pictures, this guy walks up and jumps in our pic.  At first we were wondering who this gutsy guy was to just think we would want him in our pictures.  Turns out it was Bob Dole who once we told him we were from Kansas, he insisted we get a "Kansas" picture.  He was thrilled and it was pretty cool to run into him.


Where to next dad??




Auntie Shell with her nephews



We took Taedon on his first out of town weekend to Norfolk last weekend and he did great!  I was worried about the three hour drive and how he would do away from home but he slept the entire drive and was fine going to sleep in another crib.


Breaking in the quilt Katrina made for him.  We love it!!!



Hanging with his T bear Amy brought him from NYC when she visited.




Well that should catch us up.  Until next time...
