Beach trip & 8 month update

We made G's firts trip to the beach on Labor Day, went to Doran Beach in Bodega Bay. Of course, since there was water involved, G was quite happy. The water was freezing, but he loved it, when we'd lift him up out of it, he'd strain to get back in.

G turned 8 months old on Wednesday. It's really hard to believe 8 months have gone by. He started army crawling this week, getting closer to the real deal all the time, he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks. He started saying "mama" last week, he's been saying "dada" for a while, but "dada" can be anything and everything. "Mama" is mama, he cries for me when he's hungry, tired, needy... I love it! Though it can be a little sad and pathetic sounding at times. Jarrod weighed him Monday night, he came in at a whopping 23 lbs, and is somewhere around 30" long.

Playing is hard work

What a rough life...

Yosemite & Anniversaries

Jarrod and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary August 2, it was also the day we left for our 15th annual trip to Yosemite. Yosemite has been such a big part of our lives for so long (we decided to start dating after a trip to Yosemite, spent week 2 of our honeymoon in Yosemite), it was so exciting to make our first trip as a family of three this year and start building new and wonderful memories with G.

To no one's surprise, G was a great camper. We discoverd he has a great love for all things water (regardless of how freezing cold it is) and is also quite fascinated with fire. He should keep us on our toes!
