7 months & still tired

7 months ago this little guy came into our lives. At times it feels like much longer ago, but then, I can't believe my baby is already moving around and is more than halfway to being one. Time is weird like that. But we can't imagine life without this little guy. (Although I imagine we would be getting more sleep...they're worth it. I keep telling myself that.)

And here's my two boys, each at 7 months. We should have cut Sam's hair soon than we did. Oh well, still adorable! I love the side by side comparisons to see the similarities and differences. 

We went on a picnic up at 2nd dam for dinner today and it was gorgeous. Not as fall colored as I hoped yet, but a good time nonetheless. 

And photos from the past couple weeks...

Sam enjoyed the peach days parade with his cousins this year.

Here's the view from our back porch. I'm in love with it.

FHE walk to Johnny O's spudnuts. We don't live that close to ice cream anymore....

Travis and I finally found a baby sitter and went on a date.

And we got Sam a backpack so he could carry his own stuff around occasionally and it's basically the cutest thing ever.

Also, Sam has been struggling on and off to stay in bed for nap and bedtime. So sometimes you just have to sit there until he falls asleep. And sometimes dad falls asleep too. :)

Here's a couple videos. I love that Sam can play with Tyler a little more now. And Sam also loves to go to handball with me, so I took him this last Friday and we played around for a bit in one of the courts. He's got a ways to go, but he's a handball player in the making. 

Bear Lake

We're mostly all settled into the new house and loving it. 

Sam has been interacting more with Tyler now which is fun to watch, until he steps on his face in church, but you've gotta take the bad with the good, right?

We now have two windows at the front of the house, which means we can't have anymore kids, or there'll be too much fighting over who gets to watch out which window.

We were hoping the bubble wrap might keep Sam occupied a big longer than it did...

Tyler has figured out how to roll all over the place and is so close to crawling.

We like the carts at the providence Macey's, but we're still partial to the Logan Macey's. Maybe I'll petition for a few of these over there...

We went on our annual bear lake trip with our great friends, the Meachams.

Sam loved every minute (especially since we don't play outside as much as we used to since our yard is just dirt...) and it's just fun to see him explore. It was nice to have the Meacham kids there

so he had some people his age to play with.

Tyler enjoyed it too, but we didn't dare put him down since he's mobile and eats everything.

I think he'll have more fun next year.

Can't believe summer is already over, but I am excited for the cooler weather and fall festivities.
