10 months of fun

with link all recovered from a nasty 24 hour stomach bug and his parents recovered from a fun night out, we decided to go out on an adventure. it was a day early celebration of his ten months. we loaded up in the b.o.b. stroller* and headed to mockingbird station to ride the dart rail downtown.

he LOVED the train, the station, the whole experience. we got off downtown and headed to one arts plaza.


link took advantage of all the water features, soft grass, and many, many sights and new friends to take in.




after about an hour, he was soaking wet and oh-so-happy. we decided to take the uptown trolley, head out toward the AAC, grab some cold drinks, and then hit the katy trail to head home. anyone who says dallas is not pedestrian friendly is either a liar or lazy! we went to mockingbird station, AAC, one arts plaza, and everywhere in between withOUT a car. so much fun, and we will be doing this again...after all, if it is fun in 100 degree heat, it will be that much more fun in the fall and spring. link was enjoying himself so much he did something he has NEVER done. he totally skipped his afternoon nap and just relaxed a bit when we got home before we headed out for burgers. yes, tonight he had his first cheeseburger. he split one with me and ate every bite.

our sweet little boy is growing up so fast. i can't believe tomorrow morning he will be 10 months old. we will be sure to get some additional pics, especially since we are joining our new church tomorrow! after over a year long search from our former church, we have found a home and are so excited to make it official.

* i swear i could be a spokesperson for B.O.B., that stroller is the friggin' bomb! how did our parents do it w/o stroller SUV's?!? that is definitely the best baby purchase we made. perfect for our lifestyle and gets used every single day, no exceptions.

things you love at ten months, little link:

- sesame street and baby einstein. we only allow you one time a day, but you will sit, so sweet, quiet and still and absorb every moment. it's nice for your dad and me, too. ;)

- pedialite. while you were sick, you took in gallons of that stuff and went through a diaper an hour. crazy! but happy it got the sickness out of your system.

- crawling and cruising. you are a MACHINE of moment. still taking a few steps, but no walking yet.

we love you sweet buddy. can't even fathom how quickly this is going, but we take every day for what it is, a beautiful gift from God. time spent with you is our treasure and we love you with all our hearts!

we love big church (esp george) but had a hard time finding a sunday school we felt like we fit into there...going to a different church also gives scott a break from my family. ha!
