Bluebonnet time!

Yes, folks, it's that time of year again here in Texas. :) This time around I had TWO little guys to try and capture on camera together. Ha! That's like trying to herd cats. Nearly impossible. But I tried and I got a few cute pictures. Enjoy!

They started off like this...

...then this happened...

...and this is what took place the rest of the time we were in the bluebonnets.


Clearly, Nolan does not mind being left alone in a field of flowers. Plenty to see and attempt to eat.

Here's a new seek-and-find for you: Where's Garrett?


He loved being up close with the flowers and dirt. And no, he's not a genius-baby trying to smell the flower, he's trying to eat it.

On our way back to the car, Garrett found a ladybug friend and had to have a chat. He was crushed when she flew away. The only way to revive his spirits was the promise of a ladybug-hunt in our own backyard.

Too funny...


 Garrett at 7 Months  and   Nolan at 7 Months



They're doing the exact same thing in the exact same chair!! And the really eerie thing is that I have them both dressed in little navy blue shorts outfits.

Baby boy is 7 months old!

No longer can we simply put the little man down in one spot and walk away for a few minutes. He's mobile. He's not officially crawling yet but he can low-crawl (what I call the Army-crawl) and roll until he gets exactly where he wants to be. And he can get up on all fours like he's going to just take off crawling but he tends to flop after the first few seconds. It's only a matter of days, I think, until he figures it all out. No rush on my end! Here's this month's installment of Airborne Bear pictures and a couple videos of the man on the move.

Happy boy!


Checking out the bear.

Gimme that camera!!

Content for the moment...

...until he sees the boppy pillow on the bed...

...then he MUST have it!!

I was just trying to get a video of him low-crawling and this is what I got instead. :)

My boys

Garrett is showing Nolan the finer points of Angry Birds.



I love the way Nolan watches Garrett. I sense some copycatting in our future.



They're just so much fun together already!

Little man jumping up a storm.

The many faces of Garrett...this one is supposed to be "happy"

"sad"

"angry"

"surprised"

And now he's roaring at Nolan with a tiny little tiger.



Movin and shakin! He is so so so so close to crawling. He can roll around the whole room and has now added army-crawling to his repertoire. He literally crawled over to Garrett and yanked his lunch plate off his lap twice today. Apparently the nuggets looked that good. :)
