Finally

I finally updated the photo album for August. I have been slacking lately, sorry. Little Destry has become quite the chatterbox lately and has really started saying words. He seems to pick up a new word or two everyday. He of course says mama and dada (which actually can mean either me or ball, not sure why). He also says night-night, Elmo, baby, puppy, bubble, grandpa and many others. This weekend at the cabin, he started saying ducky when we were feeding the ducks. He can also tell you that a dog says woof-woof. His new thing now is to honk noses, he thinks it's a riot. He loves going to the cabin and Broho where he can run around, swing and slide. He could swing for hours if we let him. Speaking of running, he never walks, he always runs. He is like Forest Gump, if he is going somewhere, he is running! The last week or so he has really enjoyed reading books. He will bring you a book and shoves it in your face until you read it to him. Before you finish the book (and he knows when it is getting to the end) he is already reaching for another. Sometimes he just wants you to read the same book over and over (and over and over).

Is it Possible to Pre-register for the ER?

Because I am sure we are going to be there soon. At 16 months most kids are just getting used to walking, maybe starting to run. Our kid, he likes to jump off things. We have always been there to catch him when he jumps off something high. Last week he did it without us there to catch him. And now his new favorite thing to do is jumping off the couch. He thinks it is the funniest thing ever! He climbs up on the couch and walks right up to the edge and gets a huge grin on his face. Then he steps out and jumps. He eats it right into the ground every time. Does he cry? Nope, he gets up laughing and jumps up to the couch to do it again. When you see a post titled "Broken Leg" or "How I Spent Four Hours Last Night", you will know it is the next chapter to this post. We don't have any pictures yet, I just don't my answer to the question "where were you when he jumped and hurt himself" to be "taking a picture of it".

Happy Birthday Aunt Michelle!

For Aunt Michelle's Birthday, we went out to dinner at Pickle Time in Duvall and then went to a park near her house to play for a while.

Little Destry had tons of fun making new friends, sliding down slides, swinging, and hanging out with Aunt Michelle. There was a little girl that had fun playing with Destry and it was funny because she kept calling him names like Destiny, Desery, Estery, and finally Ezera.

When we went to leave he blew Michelle a kiss (his first time doing it by himself) and it shocked Big D. It was priceless. Sorry I don't have any pictures.
