Finally figured out how to sit up....





After a few pretty hard head hits on the floor, my little chunk has figured out how to balance on his bottom and sit up on his own.  We have had a couple bonks this week, but he loves being able to sit and entertain himself a little more.  I took him to the doctor a couple weeks ago for his 6 months check up and he weighs almost 17 pounds.  We can hardly remember him being 4 lbs.

The eyes tell it all...






We spent the Labor Day weekend at a friend's cabin in Heber.  What a great weekend. The weather was perfect and the company was even better.  There was about 12 adults and 16 kids.  It was crowded, loud and so much fun!  As if it wasn't obvious, we discovered that Koston is allergic to grass.  I was trying to get a picture of him sitting his own in the grass; but because he hasn't quite mastered that trick yet, he kept falling face first every 6 seconds.  After about 5 tries he had scratches on his face, puffy, red eyes and the need for some benedryl before he sneezed his brains out!  Poor Kid... he smiled through it all!  

Family Trip to San Diego

Koston took his second long road trip (first to Vegas to see my family).  He hated his carseat by the time we got home.  We met some good friends in San Diego.  They were visiting from North Carolina.  So good to see them.  They have a 9 month old.  We went to the San Diego Zoo.... the kids had zero appreciation, so it was mainly for us adults.  We also went to the beach.  Again, Koston had no idea and could care less.  He hated the frigid water.  He is used to the arizona sun-heated pools and warm bath water.  He loved the sand.  I'm sure he would have eaten a sand pie had I let him.  Although Koston is just too young to know what is going on, we had so much fun.  We love getting out of town, especially during the summer.

Okay...so I'm not a very good blogger.  Although I only work 2 days a week, I can't seem to find the time to play on the computer.  
We just got a
MAC and I'm having
a horrible time adjusting to it.  
I'm just updating my page with some older photos along with some more recent ones.  

We are starting Koston out young as an ASU fan!! Jordan just started his fall semester at ASU and can't wait to take Koston to some of the games.              
                                                 

Look at those fat rolls.  Where did those come from?  He started out so tiny and now he is a little chunk!  But we love it!  He is so much fun.  He is laughing and grabbing onto everything. We started baby food this week and he loves green beans and carrots; not so fond of the applesauce and peaches. Go Figure?






















We go camping a lot and love it.  Koston loves to be outside, so he loves camping.  We just went to a friend's cabin this weekend for Labor Day.  As soon as I download those photos, I'll post them.  We had so much fun.  The weather was perfect.  It makes me wonder why we live in Mesa??  My mom and my younger brother Koby met us in Heber from Vegas.  It was such a relaxing weekend.
