Creedyn

Creedyn is getting closer to crawling. The picture above is from mid to late July and the one below is from last week. He is now able to rock in hands knees and tends to move backwards instead of forwards. Soon he will be on the move.
He likes playing with Gabe and, so far anyway, Gabe is doing ok with sharing. We will have to see how that goes as Creedyn and Xavier get more on the move and more into his stuff!!


Xavier July 2008

Xavier likes sitting on the new picnic table.




















He also really gets into teething biscuits and seems to get as much on him as in him!!

Gabe & Xavier and the Kitten


Gabe demonstrates two ways to carry a kitten, the over the shoulder carry and the snuggle in close carry.






































Xavier and the kitten share playing with a ball. This kitten is definitely child friendly!!

First dinner out with everyone in high chairs

In mid July, we had our first dinner out where Creedyn and Xavier sat in high chairs for the first time. They seemed to enjoy it. Creedyn seemed to think the table was a giant teething toy!! Xavier was more interested in investigating what was on the table.































Gabe is Mr. Cool, reading a book while waiting for the meal to arrive.



















Xavier is into the details.




















Gabe loves lemons.

Xavier and Creedyn have their first lesson in sharing toys.

7/15/08 Creedyn & Xavier

We enjoy watching Xavier (in the diaper) and Creedyn play together. You just wonder what they are thinking about and how much fun they will have as they grow.



Trip with Gabe to Fair Oaks Dairy

We had a fun trip to Fair Oaks in early July. I would highly recommend a stop there if you have time when driving by. They have something for all ages.

Gabe liked walking with Grandpa John. He is more of a ham at smiling for the camera!













He needed some help from Grandma Lynn to reach the pedals and keep the tractor moving, but he liked steering.























He liked ringing the bell while riding in the train.



























He loved jumping on the "Dairyair". I was afraid he was going to fly too high.

4th of July

We had a fun family gathering, joining in with the Hux's.



Creedyn and Xavier enjoy sharing the blanket.











Gabe and Grandma Bunny share a coke.


















Jay and Creedyn play together. Jay better watch out if Creedyn reaches for his nose ring!















Xavier shows off his sweet smile.
















Jasmine and Creedyn enjoy some quiet time.
