August Pictures

I really can't believe tomorrow is the last day of August! In a week, Xavier will be 7 months old, and Hunter will be starting Preschool!! Here is the link for pictures from August. We stayed in LA this month, and enjoyed our backyard, the beach, and visits from the grandparents. We are also very excited that Aunt Hillary and Uncle Jesse moved to Santa Monica this month and love having them here!

That's Mine!

Last Sunday we had Xavier Dedicated at church. Click on this link for more pictures of the special event. After the church service we went out for brunch with Doyl's parents, and my mom and sister. Hunter is going through the "mine" stage, where he claims everything is his. We most often see it at home, when Xavier is playing with a toy, Hunter will yell, "that's mine" and grab it from him. He will also do it at the playground or mommy-me class, and I am getting a little tired of it. Anyhow, when the waiter was clearing our plates at brunch, Hunter yelled, "That's mine!... Mommy they're taking our dishes!" We all had a good laugh.

Xavier Starts Solids

Xavier will be 6 months old Friday! We started oatmeal with him this weekend. He is not a fan. I am going to puree some fruits and veggies next week and hopefully that will go over a little better.

Hunter's 3rd Haircut

Hunter is 2 1/2 and was looking a little shaggy, so we decided it was time for a haircut. It's only his 3rd ever. I sent Doyl with Hunter to the hair cut place "First Cuts", with the instructions, "we like the surfer, shaggy look, but clean it up a little - he just needs a trim." Hunter came back with something that was a bit like a mullet. Doyl said he repeated the instructions to the hair cut person and announced he would never take him again. I took Hunter back the next day and had the long hair cut off.
