Wee!

We ventured out to a neighborhood park in Katy yesterday and enjoyed our first swing! We will probably head back this afternoon for more fun. And, we'll most likely take Daddy on Saturday to show him our swinging skills.

Here is a better image of the hat. It goes with a shirt that has a gator on it. I seem to be drawn to any article of clothing or accessory that has ears, a tail or a fin on it. Irresistible and ferocious all at the same time.

Six Months Old! (tear)

Where has the time gone? Wasn't I pregnant just YESTERDAY?!?! Our big boy had his six month check up today. I can hardly believe it. The doctor said he is looking good. Hallelujah!

Here are our stats...

22lbs 1oz 100%

28 3/4" 100%

45 1/2cm 90% <--head circ.

This explains why my back has been killing me lately. If being six months old wasn't enough to make his Mama cry Dean is also sitting up, putting his toes in his mouth, making lots of new noises, eating veggies and riding in the grocery cart like a big boy (pictured below). We are oh so proud and blessed beyond measure.

This afternoon I am starting my volunteer work for The Ronald McDonald House of Houston at Texas Children's Hospital. It is going to be a humbling experience and I'm looking forward to it. Wish me luck!

Allen Hudson: Baby Whisperer

Not sure if Allen could pull off his own show on The National Geographic Channel but, we were impressed. He was a natural. The pictures and video are priceless! Thanks for coming to visit us Allen!

Weekend Part Dos - Champagne & Dirty Diapers

¨Not sure why I've been taking photos of the trash lately? Michael thinks it's weird and gross. Maybe I should see someone about it? At the conclusion of our weekend in ATX our trash can definitely said, "They came. They had fun. And, they have babies." Champagne and dirty diapers. Some things change but some things will always remain the same I guess.

It was a great weekend! Some of the highlights were dinner at Steiner Ranch, shopping with the girls, golf for the big boys, the hot tub, Walker and Dean meeting each other and catching up with wonderful friends. We always have fun with the Brewers and Zolfos. If only they lived closer!

Weekend Part Uno - Waco

It's Wednesday and I am just NOW getting to load and flip through all of our weekend pictures! We had so much fun - I think I might STILL be recovering.

Last Thursday we made a pilgrimage to BU for SING. This was the first time that we had been back since our graduation in 2006. I know. It has been too long. I totally underestimated how glad I would be to see our good 'ole Baylor again.

After lunching with my younger brother Travis, who is also a Baylor Bear, we headed for campus. I was hell bent on taking a family photo in the exact spot where Michael proposed to me! It would be a full circle moment. The nicest young man, who was on his way to class, offered to take a picture of us on that special bench in front of Pat Neff. There was a split second where I thought, "Is he going to run off with our camera?! I could grab his backpack and pull him down to the ground if he starts to run..." OF COURSE NOT SARAH...we're at Baylor, not standing in Time Square. Another reason I love Baylor.

After we got our big shot we headed to the hotel to get ready for SING! Michael's fraternity brother, Matt Zolfo, was a guest judge for the evening so we tagged along with the Zolfo's, who were nice enough to get us in for free. Thanks guys! (Side note: I feel like we always tag along with the Zolfos & the Brewers. We're like leaches. Great.) Dean did pretty well during SING. He loved watching the girl acts the best because they had all the sparkles and color. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

More to come on our fun weekend. Stay tuned....

PS- While visiting, I also used Trav's student discount to buy Photoshop. Oh how I've missed it. So, from this day forward I will be messing with all of my pictures...when I have the time.
