Silly Boy

Damon is pretty silly.  Even though it has been sad having Lee gone so much again, we have been having lots of fun playing and being silly together.  I know I say it a lot...but Damon is at such a fun age and is such a joy to be around.  I love him to pieces.

 He likes when I put his letters on our noses!

Brushing his teeth! 

 This is his face about half of every day :)

 Haha...he looks so worried

 Sticking out his tongue for the camera

 He was being quiet...I was concerned.  I walked into our room to find this.

 He loves balls.  He especially likes carrying this basketball around the house.

 Being sweet and tired...cuddling his puppy.

 

Wanted to wear his Daddy's shorts :)

For Kristen

This is for Kristen to see how awesome Lex was at boogie boarding since she couldn't be with us in San Diego.  Miss you tons!!

Good job Lex!

Pictures of your boys

Eleven Months

It seems impossible that Damon is almost a year old.  He is seriously the most awesome little kid.  He has such a fun personality, so much energy and is such a sweet boy.  

Loves #1 being naked, and #2 this toy

Always climbs into the laundry basket and hangs out

 I guess this little basket is pretty fun to sit in also!!

 Likes to hide!   

 About the only picture I could get of him looking towards the camera.  He is too busy.

 That stick was his favorite toy and was not happy to give it up

 Notice the red faces...we went outside to take pictures...too hot!

 Thought this was funny

Loves when Daddy lets him go upside-down

Happy 11 months baby boy!  We love you!

San Diego

We were so lucky to be able to go to San Diego and spend some time with the Babbel side of the family!  We spent a week enjoying each other's company, enjoying a little cooler weather, and playing in the sand.  We had a great time and miss everyone.  Damon loved being around family, and especially his cousins...even though Mason did not like being around him!!  I can't decide which pictures to post, so there are a ton!  

 Enjoying early morning cartoons in bed

Damon looked so cute for church...too bad we couldn't find the building! 

Uncle Matt making Damon laugh 

 Hanging out

 That's my boy!  Playing soccer :)  He really will kick it and go after it.

The beach was cold the first few days!!   

 My sweetheart

 Damon loved the sand and would just lay in it, put his face in it...you name it, he did it.

 Happy boys

 Sea World!

 We got to go into a VIP area and see the dolphins up close

 Touching the dolphins!

 Damon with his Auntie

 He loved having a big place to run around in.  He was like the energizer bunny and wouldn't ever stop!  

 I love this sweet picture of him

 He just wanted to put sand on Lee and I all of the time!

 Making a break for the water

:) 

 Taking Grandma on a walk with an umbrella pole

 Wanting to get on the boogie board too!

Needed a picture with Grandpa!!

Last Weeks of Summer

Lee starts up school again in a week.  Ugh.  We have had such a great time spending so much time together this summer as a family.  Damon has been at such a fun age, and both Damon and I have loved having Lee around.  It will be hard when he starts back up, but once again, we will get used to the new routine.  

 Damon rolling Lee across the ground

 Sure love him!

 This is what happens when Daddy feeds Damon

 :)

Saying "moo" 

 Giving Mama a kiss

Happy family!!

Hanging out after church

Quick Visit

My amazing parents were out and about traveling from state to state and decided to make a detour and come and see us for a day!  It was so nice of them to drive so far to see us :)  Damon loved having them here for the day...as did we!

 Happy Papa and Grandma!

 Playing with Papa

 Wrestling with Grandma, pulling her hair and kissing her face

Ready for bed and saying bye bye :(  Can't wait to see you guys again!
