Weekends away

We've been on the go a lot lately. Last weekend, we all made a trip to Bryan. The next morning John and his friends went to Santa Fe, Texas to visit a friend's parents. Amy and I spent the weekend taking nine-month pictures. Well, I watched her take pictures. HeeHee We had a great time going around campus and playing with McKade and McKason. McKade and I had a lot of fun playing Aunt Michelle's game. You name a color, and you have to find something that color. I think McKade liked it because it was easier than I Spy. I was talking a little bit about work, saying how I was a scientist. McKade must have picked up on it because Amy sent me this conversation:
"You would be proud. McKade wants to take a DNA/genetics class at the museum because that is what Aunt Michelle does."
Quote from McKade: "I want to learn about DNAs. It is stuff that makes up your body."
It just made my day. Also, Miller got his first tooth, finally. He's getting too big too fast.

Here's some pictures from the past week. Sorry, no video this week. They take forever to load, and they don't show up on my netbook, for whatever reason. They'll have to wait for another time.

I know I had pictures of this outfit on the last blog, but I just love his expression in this one.

This is when he was feeding himself potato salad. He LOVED it. I actually have a video of him playing in it. Lexi loved it too.

Just like Daddy, he fell asleep with his arm over his face.

Here's an example of how big he's getting. He's started pulling up on stuff. He can't pull up on this all on his own, but he will stand there and play if we put him up to it.

Poor Aunt Amy, having to entertain everybody at once. I just love McKason in this picture, just hanging out.

Here's McKade feeding the ducks at Research Park.

McKade actually took this picture. Not too shabby. He may be taking after his Mommy.

Miller and Mommy in the big Aggie ring.

He couldn't keep his eyes off McKade all weekend long. Now if McKason tried to touch him, he would start crying, but McKade was GREAT!

A close-up of Miller and Mommy.

Nobody could pinch him on St. Patrick's Day!

We went to South Louisiana this weekend for Toby and Ann's engagement party, which was a crawfish boil. We were so excited for our first crawfish boil of the season. I think John was pretty happy to be eating them.

It looks like Miller is a little unsure about this.

Dad, Mr. Terry, and Miller.

Miller was so good this weekend. Everybody kept telling us he was the best baby! Here's a picture of Miller with Aunt Ann.

Have a great week everybody!

All about naps.

Sorry it's been so long since we posted, and the last post was literally just pictures that John added comments to. Miller is changing so fast now. He's not really crawling, more scooting, but we found out that this week he has started pulling up on things at daycare. The little guy might just bypass crawling and go straight to walking. Also, Mrs. Dorothy told us he's been saying mamamamamama lately...guess all my brain-washing has finally paid off. Not to be outdone, John told me he heard Miller saying dadadadadadada later on that night. He has started trying to repeat John though. John will say DaDa, and Miller will say AhAh. It's cute. The little guy is camera shy when it comes to recording it because as soon as I get that camera out he stops talking, but he's a little chatter box the rest of the time.

John finished up his 8-week class, which is great. He's getting closer and closer to being done.

Here's some pictures for everyone to enjoy:

Relaxing on Momma, eating his dinner.

Not two seconds before I snapped this picture, he was reaching out and playing with Lexi's tail. Of course, as soon as I pick up the camera, he has to change his mind.

A close up. He woke up with that scratch across his face. Guess we waited a little too long to trim those fingernails.

Yesterday, Miller, Mommy, Nonna, and Mimi all went shopping. We were leaving right around his nap time, so I was thinking he would fall asleep in the car. Daddy was holding him while Mommy was getting ready. Turns out the little guy couldn't wait until ten. He was out on Daddy's chest instead.

After we got back from shopping, Daddy had him on his shoulders. Of course, Miller loved it. Either that, or he loved the fact that we took off his pants and socks. I fear we have a nudist on our hands.

Church was just too much for him today. He fell asleep in the car on the way home.

I'm not completely sure which video is which. One of them is me filming Miller right after he was talking, where he just looks at me the whole time because he doesn't want to be filmed talking. The other one is he and Daddy playing. Have a great week everybody! Love, The Vranas
