Betsy's visit

My dear college friend Betsy visited us with her sweet boys Truman and Walter and HELPFUL mom Susan. Just like the old days, only with dirty diapers...

Darin and Walter...

Truman (and Tucker in the background)...

What's all the ruckus? I'm eating dinner here...

Bath time with the boys...

Anyone else want to get in here? We've got room!

All our sweet boys...

9 months

Strother turned nine months old. He weighed in at the pediatrician at 19 whole pounds (25%) and 29 inches (75%). My string bean! He's cutting his second tooth (bottom left). He's a blast these days. He crawls like is in a race and is cruising around standing up while holding on to furniture.

He doesn't exactly sit still and pose for his monthly photo anymore, so I thought it would be fun to post a few of them from our session. He's a study in motion...

Look closely, you can see my two teeth!

Remember how little and still I used to be? Two months old...




He had a blast in Colorado. So many photos to post!

We had a ball in Colorado. Holly and I won first place in a three legged race on the fourth of July! So much fun... Can't wait until next year!
