Recap From Atlanta

Here are some pics from our trip to Atlanta last week. We had a good time just hanging out for a few days with my parents, Zac, Ashley and Mike. Ashley's wedding dress also came in, so it was fun seeing her try that on. Britt really started walking while we were there, and he's been doing it lots lately at home. I'm a complete idiot and didn't get a single picture of my parents with Britt, oh well, next time.

Not much else it up right now. Justin is on his last month of P90X, I've had a few work projects, and we're all ready for the pool to open soon!

Walk The Line

B man is on a roll with walking and getting better every time. Here's a video from today where he's chasing Ashley because she has the broom.

You Scream, I Scream...

We went to lunch at Jason's Deli after church so that Justin could eat 6 dozen hard boiled eggs. Britt made an even bigger mess than usual, but he was hilarious when it came to the ice cream. I'm pretty certain only 5% made it in his mouth!

Race Day

I ran the Lady Track Shack 5K this morning, and clocked in at 23:56, my second best time in this distance. I was pretty darn happy with my time because I started very far back (had to dodge people the first half mile) and I didn't have my ipod :-( Britt, Justin, Adam, and Cole came out to cheer me on, and of course all four got lots of attention from all of the ladies there, haha! No pics today, but hopefully some of Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow...

To celebrate, we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. I rewarded myself with pancakes and bacon, while Justin and Adam stuck to the egg beaters and turkey sausage. Britt and Cole celebrated too by sharing my pancakes, which (of course) were a big hit.

By the way, I wanted to note (since this is really the only place I write things down) that Britt is eating "baby food" for only one meal a day now. He's become much less picky when he feeds himself finger food, so that's what we're going with for now usually for lunch and dinner. He eats American cheese, whole wheat bagels, organic yogurt, potatoes, avocado, rice, tomatoes (diced from Chipotle are his favorite), turkey sausage, and he has a new love of carrots as of Thursday. I also started putting milk (bm that is) in his sippy cup this week, so he can really get used to it. He's been a pro at the sippy cup (with water) for a while, but I really would like to transition to whole milk in a cup and get rid of the bottle at one year. Since he only has a few bottles a week, I don't think this should be too big of a hassle. We'll see when the time comes!

Multi-Tasking

Here's Britt standing up and putting Dad's hat on and then trying to make a quick getaway!

FYI - The videos have had some trouble working lately through blogger, try again later if you can't view it now.

Double Digits!

Britt is 10 months old today. He celebrated by waking up twice in the middle of the night, eating some banana yogurt this morning, and is now taking the world's best morning nap (we're at 2 hours and counting), which means I'm super productive, if you count 1.5 hrs of work and playing around on the internet productivity.

We had a good visit with the Marshall clan yesterday, and Britt showed off his new found love of standing up without holding on to anything. He's not really taking any steps yet, but he can balance enough to give himself a round of applause. I think he'll be walking by the end of the week if I had to guess, but I've learned that this boy does what he wants when he wants!

Here's a few recent pics : one of him with his fraternity boy look and one of him checking his email on his blackberry in his "Pleasure Happy Smile" sweatshirt from Aunt Court and Uncle Keith in Japan. HAPPY 28TH BIRTHDAY UNCLE KEITH!!!



And he's awake...
