6 Months Old

I know I say this all the time, but I really can not believe how fast time goes by.  6 months old already?! 

We had a very quick check up Tuesday (8/14).  He is 16 lbs. 14 oz. and 26 inches long.  Everything is well.

Luke started solid food July 30.  We've tried only a few foods - cereal :(, avocado :), banana :), sweet potato :), and carrot (the jury is still out if he likes carrots or not). 

On August 4th, we celebrated Carley's first birthday.

Video: Eating Avocado

After trying rice cereal and not liking it, we tried avocado.  Luke says it's yummy! :)

Paisano 2012

 If you've never been to Paisano before, you should check out the website (especially the "history" and "about" sections) to get an idea what it is.   http://www.paisanoencampment.org/

My family has attended Paisano almost every year since we moved to Fort Davis. 

Luke and I had a wonderful week at Paisano with my parents.  Unfortunately we left Paul Michael at home to work.  Although while he was working, he got to take his first plane ride to Odessa/Midland. 

The first 2 nights (Friday 7/20 and Saturday 7/21) in West Texas Luke and I spent time with Lindsey and Riley at Johnny and Myra's (Lindsey's parents).  (For those of you who don't know Lindsey, she and I have been good friends since we moved to Fort Davis in 1989.  Riley is her daughter who is 3 weeks older than Luke.)

Mom, Dad, Luke, and I spent the rest of the week enjoying ourselves at Paisano.  Wednesday Luke and I spent the day in Van Horn with Lindsey, Riley, and Blain at their house.  It rained Thursday 7/26 and Friday 7/27.  Thursday afternoon with the rain the temperature was down in the 50s!!!





These 2 babies enjoyed playing and exploring together



Started out with warm weather

A little while later they needed a light blanket   
They had 2 blankets before they ended up inside



Told ya it was in the 50s!

This was one happy baby to be outside all the time
