A weekend with the three of us

There is so much to be said for spending a weekend at home, just the three of us. I love going to see family and friends and I love having people here, but having Jake home for a weekend and having it just be the three of us is so much fun!

We went to the farmer's market Saturday for all of...10 minutes? It was SO HOT. I think the heat index that day was 105 and I just felt like starting off the day melting didn't sound like too much fun. We pretty much got breakfast and left. We then went to Homemaker's furniture store to look around and then headed to the mall for some shopping and lunch. Silas was fantastic the whole day - lots of smiles, giggles, and just quick naps in the car or on my lap at lunch. He really did a great job and we had a great time.

He has REALLY discovered the ranges in his voice the past three days....or at least the higher range. He often gives a loud squeal or shriek and then repeats it over and over. It's been pretty fun watching him discover that. He loves to stand now and seems to be pretty proud of himself when he does. He'll often vocalize his pride so those around him can appreciate his abilities too. :) Such a show-off. Where in the world does he get that??

Here are a few pictures from the past week:

Thank you, Dr. Hemann for the jumper-roo!








We have a finger-sucker!


Silas loves to look at his book while on his tummy


Standing up so proud!
