First trip to the zoo

Last weekend was Davis's first trip to the zoo. It was a BEAUTIFUL day! I had a good friend from Fort Worth in town, and so our family of three met up with her and her crew of little ones for a great day at the Houston zoo. I see many more trips to the zoo in our future! :)

Fall has arrived

Even though it's not quite cool every day yet, it is definitely fall! This means Davis's first Halloween, first trip to a pumpkin patch, and many more outside trips now that the temperatures are finally cooling off.

For his first Halloween, Davis was an astronaut! A couple of weeks before, we took Davis to the NASA space museum to get some great pictures of him in his costume.

Then, we took Davis to his first pumpkin patch to get some more great pictures...just the first year of many to come, buddy! :) We are still loving Houston, and all that our new city has to offer!

• You are the cutest little boy ever! Of course we are a little biased, but everyone else says so! Not only are you the cutest to look at, but you have the sweetest smile, coos, and babble. We love seeing more of your personality come out every week. 
• You are eating 2-3 solid food meals a day. So far, there hasn't been any food that you don't like! 
• You are a pro at sitting up on your own. You love looking at everything around you and are really trying to take everything in. 
• You have discovered Witten, your kitty cat! He isn't afraid of you any more, so he is out most of the day following you around. You love to watch him walk by you and like to pet (more like grab) his fur. He is very patient with you and will even walk up to you and rub his head against yours. 
• You are a mover! You still haven't mastered crawling, but you find a way to get over to things that you want. You can get your knees under you and scoot your body along the ground. You also roll around to get to different places...whatever works! :) 
• You have outgrown almost all of your 6 month cloths and have moved into 9 month outfits. I cannot believe how big you have gotten! 
• You LOVE to be outside. This month, Mommy started a mommy and baby work out class that is 3 days a week and is all outside. You love this class so much- especially when Mommy runs up and down the hills with you in the stroller! You also love to watch the birds and squirrels outside.
• You still love your books...being read to and eating them! You also love looking at yourself in the mirror and playing with any of your musical toys. And we can never leave the house or take a nap without one of your lovey blankets! They are your favorite!
• Bath time is still so much fun. You have learned how to splash water and love getting Mommy and Daddy soaking wet!

We love you so much, precious boy!
