Where has time gone?

My little man is going to be 6 months old on Sept 4th, and I am just amazed! It really feels like it was only yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital! He looked so tiny in his crib...



...And look at him now!









Being a mom is everything I had hoped it would be and MORE. Every day I fall even more in love with this little dude, and am always entertained by him, and miss him every minute that I'm away from him!

VIDEOS!

So I've taken a handful of videos of Silas with my camera since he's been born, but I've just never gotten around to posting them. Well, now I have! For your viewing enjoyment, here's Silas!:
*EDIT*
Please ignore my fake smiley voice that I use while talking to my baby; I just now noticed it!

Zoo!

A few weekends ago I splurged and went to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City. While it didn't measure up to Point Defiance or Woodland Park Zoo (in Tacoma and Seattle, respectively.) it more than made up for it with plenty of monkeys, tigers, penguins AND a baby giraffe!
Silas was asleep for the first half or so, but once he woke up he loved it! I wasn't sure how much he was really noticing the animals until we got to the penguins and they jumped in and started swimming; he sat and watched them swim around for a good few minutes!! He's going to be a nature and animal lover for sure!



Baby giraffe!



We got the the Giraffe area right as it was feeding time, it was so cool!



Silas right after waking up. He wasn't too sure where the heck he was!

Washington love

I love going home! It's definitely one of the best trips out there that can be, especially since all of us kids were home for the first time...Well, since last year, but also since Silas was born. It was a lot of fun to be home, even if only for a few days! I'm not going to post ALL of my Washington pictures here, but if you have facebook, you can find them all there!: www.facebook.com/renchdog. Even so, get ready for a picture overload!!

Catching up!

I've been REALLY bad about posting!! Not much has been going on, just working and playing like we do! I got to go home to Washington for almost a whole week which was wonderful, even though it was record 102 degree heat! The end of August is coming up, along with our moving date!

I was playing photographer and trying to get a cool picture or two with the reflection from the pond/lake.






Scowling at me



Washed out!
