I'm Gonna Get You...

Bryant has finally figured out that crawling means he can go after anything and everything he wants. (Whether we allow him to have it is a whole other story!) :-) He has been fascinated with our kitty since his eyes were able to follow her as she moved and this week he is finally able to chase her down. Several days ago he cornered her in the kitchen and she backed herself all the way up between the wall and the refrigerator and actually got up on her hind legs and tried to figure out how to crawl up the wall, it was hysterical. Meanwhile Bryant is squealing with delight over the fact that he is actually close enough to touch the kitty and she isn't running away. You had to be there, it was seriously comical.

Monday of last week my friend Becca, from Kennewick Washington, came for a short visit. Becca and I have been friends since first grade. Our friendship has survived many moves over the years and I can thankfully say that there was no shortage of conversation while she was here, we had so much to catch up on. Plus, Becca is the mommy to four boys, so I had a lot of wisdom to glean from her! It was really fun to catch up again and hopefully it won't be six years before we see each other again.

Last Friday my Dad took his boat to Detroit Lake, which is only a 1 hour drive from our house in Sisters and invited us over for the day. So, while Daddy slaved away in the 90+ degree heat, Bryant, our friend Regan and I enjoyed a wonderful day on the water with Robin and Grandpa. Bryant did really well on the boat, but he absolutely hated the life jacket, so all in all I would consider the day a great success.

Some of you may notice from the pictures that our little punkin is getting a little bit tan...he NEVER leaves the house without SPF 50 on and I reapply it every hour, like a good Mom should. We were out walking around Sisters on Saturday morning during the quilt show and we had several people tell us to put sunblock on our baby, that he was getting burned. Jeremy got so tired of telling them we had just put the second coating of block on the baby that he took out the bottle of sunscreen and sat it next to Bryant in the stroller in order to address any concerns before they were voiced. There were way too many concerned Grandma types in town this weekend!!

Here are a few more pictures of Bryant hanging with Daddy. They really do have fun together.
