Super Quick Summer Update

THIS SUMMER:

  • We went to the beach for a week! Bug had his first encounter with the sand, the ocean and the pool; all which he LOVED!
    • Bug learned to "Army crawl"
  • He also got 4 teeth- two bottom and two top ones.
  • We visited our dear friend A and B pre baby - now they have a BEAUTIFUL baby girl! Can't wait to meet her!

  • The organization "Colombianos en Baltimore" did a fundraiser to collect funds for those Colombians who lost their homes due to the floods from this past winter! Thant was a GREAT party!
  • I started to discover my culinary side. Mostly when talking about baby food! I am officially making Bug's  lunch, dinner, and snacks!! :) I attempted fruit roll ups -- that was a fail! Maybe I'll try again soon!
  • We went to DC twice! which was really HOT but lots of fun! It was the baby's first time in the metro - of course, he LOVED it!

  • Baby now claps, says "Da- Da", "Ba-ba" (which means Bella, I'm pretty sure) "Be-be", "Pa-pa", and just about every combination of "A", he says "Ma", but only when he wants to (never when I want him to of couse)! 
  • Jared and i had an AMAZING anniversary celebration!!!!
  • We went back to see our great friends A and B in their new house and helped them get ready for their daughter to arrive!
  • On the way home we visited the grandparents in their new house! It was great to see them!
  • We went to the beach again for a couple of days! :)

  • Baby took his first assisted step! He now pulls himself up! He is growing up WAY too fast!
  • We took Bug to get a MUCH needed haircut! He looks like a big boy!
  • Both Jared and I celebrated our birthdays and that brings us to now! Ending summer with one last trip to NC and lots of plans for the fall!!!



What a busy and wonderful summer! We also got to spend lots of time with friends when we weren't away. Uncle DJ came home for a couple of days! It was awesome to see him. We are so proud of him!
We can't wait to tell you all about our Fall adventures! Crazy to think that this time last year we were JUST getting ready for our son to arrive! WOW!

  1. Love it! Dandelion has begun using sign language...finally! She only has a handful of signs and she only says one word, but she's getting there. And she took her first step a couple days ago! It's fun to read about your precioushandsomedarling Little Man and remembering his Very first days.

  2. isn't it crazy that those days happened over a year ago?! man, time flies!
    I haven't started sign lang. with Bug, we do have two languages and he seems to understand them both!
