Augustus is 11 months today

Our little guy is pulling himself up to a standing position. Crawling and generally keeping us thoroughly entertained and laughing all the time. He has a signature move he does which looks alot like he's pulling on a rope suspended near his ear and bringing it down to his thigh. Kinda like when you signal for the trucker in the lane next to you to honk his horn. We're honking!

Dante in fire island

augie was sleeping in the stroller and i convinced the reluctant dante to play in the waves with me. both today and saturday the waves are near the shore and few people are actually swimming in them. we are all observing the beautiful power of the ocean and splashing in and playing in the wake of the massive waves big enough to surf and close enough to touch. dante and i drew pictures in the sand, build sand castles and tunnels until the water washed it away. we moved onto chase, jumping on one foot and catching sea foam. now it's nap time

Bear Lake Utah Family Reunion

This past July I took the boys to Bear Lake Utah for a family reunion with 100 + of my relatives. I so enjoyed catching up with my family while my boys got to know their cousins and relatives too. The weather was perfect, the lake calm and blue.

Augustus starts to crawl.

In the last week or so Augie's started to get up on his hands and knees
and propel his'self forward a bit. Here's a video from yesterday of his
first crawls. Also yesterday he pulled himself up into a standing
position for the first time too. I was so shocked I didn't realize I
should catch him before he fell back on his butt.
