8 months old

Yikes, I'm a little behind.

Winston turned 8 months old on Sunday, the 21st.

I cannot believe he's already 8 months old!

Winston brings so much happiness to our family.

We could not imagine our family with out him.

He is always so happy and so fun and so easy!

Sometimes we forget that he's awake because he's so content just playing with his toys.

Nicknames: Winston, Winn, Winn-man, Winston-man, bud

Still can only eat 4, sometimes 5 ounces of milk at a time

Loves cheerios!

Loves being outside

Loves playing with his big brother

 

Winn has his 4th tooth coming in.

He has his 2 bottom teeth, his top right k9 and his left k9 is going to break through any second now.

Don't worry, no top front teeth yet. haha

But he is learning how to use his teeth.

It's been fun having him being able to eat cheerios and puffs now without choking.

Winston takes 3 naps a day, sometimes 4.

He usually only wakes up once at night

(right now he's struggling with the whole sleep thing because of his teeth coming in. He has SUCH a hard time teething!)

Winston loves sitting up and rolling, rolling, rolling!
We try to get him up on his knees to introduce crawling but he knows he can get around perfectly fine by rolling. He also knows how to roll back and forth to be able to reach toy.

We love our Winn-man so much!

Happy 8 months big boy!!

Tulip Festival

I love living next door to Thanksgiving Point. We find ourselves enjoying their venues weekly.
This past week we attended the Tulip Festival. It is so pretty! I love that I can go take the boys for a walk around the beautiful gardens. It's also fun because some of my sis in laws have passes too so we will meet up for a fun adventure.

We made an evening out of visiting the Gardens with James last weekend. It was the first week the festival opened so only about 1/4 of the tulips had bloomed, but it was still pretty. We wanted to go again this past week, but it's been FREEZING we haven't had a chance. So hopefully this week once the weather gets warmer we will go again.

I have loved my camera I bought last year. It was such a great purchase. I still don't know how to really use it, but I love that I can still get decent quality pictures even when it's in auto mode.

Lincoln is 100% and couldn't have cared less about the flowers...

he loved the rocks

I had high hopes in getting a good pictures of the boys together so I can hang it in our home.

I should always lower my expectations on trying to get a decent picture.

(Don't let this pictures fool you....Lincoln wasn't give 'loves' he pushed Winn right over :) )

Now James stepped in to help out....

haha...we did the best we could :)

Melts my heart..I love this picture of my boys

 As the "mom" and "photographer" you are only in so many pictures... here is my proof I was there

Lincoln loved the water fountain. Linc and James had a nice little water fight

 I love my handsome hubby

Okay. As a mom I always hoped I would be the 'favorite' parent. I have no chance in being Lincoln's favorite. Lincoln and James have the sweetest, strongest, deepest bond I have ever seen. They are truly best friends. Lincoln asks all day, every day were dad is and when can they go play together. Lincoln looks up to James so much. I honestly cherish the relationship they have. 

The boys had fun chasing each other up the hills.

Now, if you've been to Thanksgiving Points Garden, you know that there is a really BIG hill. This is Lincoln...running down the hill....running and running and running...and not stopping.

At this point, James had to run down and get him

:)

Somersaults UP the hill 

Hopefully we will go again soon. It was seriously so beautiful!
