New Kicks!

Chris got some new kicks this week- a pair of slip on Vans with flames & some green striped Adidas! Neither really match any of his clothes...but they are just too stinking cute! He has been stomping around the house in them and thinks they are just great! = )

On another note- it looks like Chris is going to get tubes put in his ears. He's had about 10 ear infections now and he's only 13.5 months old- eek! We have an appointment with a specialist on September 1st so we shall see what they have to say!

Baby Barrett has arrived!

Our nephew, Barrett, was born Thursday! He is an incredibly precious baby boy! We drove to Rockwall to meet him and see his parents, Amanda & Erich, and his older brother, Nathan! Barrett and Nathan are exactly 15 months apart- they are going to have so much fun together.

Unfortunately, after birth Barrett was transferred to the NICU for a birth defect. You can visit his blog for further information- http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/barrettthomashefner/journal. We have confidence that Barrett will recover quickly and go on to live a perfectly normal life!

During our visit we helped take care of Nathan while his parents spent the day with Barrett at the hospital. Chris and Nathan become more interactive each time they see eachother. It's pretty fun to watch them. Here's a clip from this weekend-

Anyway, please keep our nephew and his parents in your prayers. They have a long road ahead of them but I know in the end it will all be okay!

Big Boy Jams and Pool Day with Dad!

Chris is getting so big. He recently ripped through his 12 month old dinosaur jammies in the buttock region because they were so tight (and our child actually has a ghetto bootie)! Here he is in his new puppy ones, size 18 months!! = ) What a stud!

Sunday Christopher and Daddy went to the pool to swim. This kid is finally a huge fan of water (about time)! I tagged along to play photographer... = )

Belly Surfing in Target

Taking Chris grocery shopping is a total chore. He likes to walk down the aisles by himself, take items off the shelves and put them back. That's his new thing- putting stuff back. Anyway, if he's not acting like a grocery store employee he really likes to push the cart. This is so annoying when we are in a hurry (which seems to always be the case). He doesn't like when you go too fast either. He likes to set the pace. Well today at Target he decided he wanted to be extra slooooooow and push the cart on his knees. This ended with him on his belly which apparently he didn't mind too much! This happened several times during our trip today. 1 hour and $130 later we finally made it out of the store!

Brazoswood c/o 2000 Reunion!

Charlie and I had our 10 year class reunion this weekend! It was great to catch up with those we haven't seen in awhile and also with those we're still super close to! = ) We spent Saturday at the beach with our besties and Chris got to spend the day with his besties too! We then dropped him off at Grandma Henry's house who was so kind to keep him for 20+ hours while we went to the reunion and spent the night at the beach house! I even slept in until 9AM! Hallelujah! = )
Here are some more pics of Chris' new favorite things- pulling all the tissues out of the box and getting in the dog crate with Cooper! This child is always trying to find something new to do!!!
