Mommy and Daddy's "Staycation"

For Christmas Patrick bought me a night at La Torretta in Montgomery, which included a spa package, so we finally got to go last week! Aunt Kelley kept the boys and we got a night away. It was so relaxing. The boys had a great time visiting everyone in Baytown and we had a great time being child free for a little bit!

Before we went out to dinner ... our balcony overlooked the lake.

Zoo with Cousins!

YaYa and I took the boys to Lufkin to visit Amy, Josh, Miler and Annie. We took the kiddoes to the zoo, then the big boys swam once we got home and the little ones napped. It was a great day!

Walking!

Not consistently, but walking nonetheless...he walked clear across the living room this evening. His little steps are so cute and small (I will have to video it soon!) My sweet boy is just growing up entirely too fast.

Trying to Walk...

Scott took his first independent steps this week. He will go 1 or 2 steps, realize what he is doing and sit! It is pretty funny, they are itty-bitty steps and sometimes it looks like he is walking in place! Slow down, baby boy!

Scott's latest ... 10 months old.

I don't know how it has been 10 months already. It has flown by, and my sweet baby boy is getting too big too fast! He wants to do everything his brother wants to do! He is a busy boy the entire time he is awake, and sleeps like a champ. His current schedule is waking for the day around 7:00, he eats and plays for a bit. Around 2 hours after waking he takes a bottle and then goes down for about a 2 hour nap. Once he wakes, he plays for a little while and then has lunch. Then we play some more! 3 hours after he wakes from his morning nap, he has another bottle and goes back down. He sleeps for another 2ish hours. Then he wakes, plays, eats, plays! We do bathtime around 7:00, and he loves his baths!! Then he has his last bottle and goes to sleep for the night. We are routine people!

He is talking like crazy, saying:
Bubba
Mama
Dada
Yay! (and claps)
Ta (cat when he points at Rocco)
duck ... sounds a little more like duh
bye-bye ... which sounds like bubba, but he waves!

My favorite part of the day is when he wakes up. He babbles in bed until someone comes in. Then he just grins at you...melts my heart! I love being at home!

He loves to play...with toys, with Will, with Patrick or myself. He is a happy little boy. He is laid back for the most part, until you take something away from him (like my car keys) and then he will throw a FIT!
I cannot remember our lives without him. He makes our home so happy!
