Fall

What a busy month it has been at the Burkett house - we are finally getting into our new fall groove! Hunter is going to preschool four days a week in the morning, and loves it! Of course I don't have a good first day of school picture, but I do have this one of him in his Huskies' jersey playing football in the backyard. It brought the Huskies good luck, as they defeated USC that day. Hunter loves screaming, "Go Dawgs!" and the fight song, "Bow Down to Washington" at the top of his lungs. Doyl is very proud. Xavier keeps growing and getting cuter. He crawls all over the house and loves "chasing" the cats. I can't believe he will be 8 months old next week!

Haircut Time!

Hunter After

Xavier After

Xavier had his first haircut last week. I had my stylist do it, and I think it turned out adorable. I had Hunter's haircut today, and I am now regretting having them cut it so short. He had over an inch taken off! At least it will grow back.

7 Months!

Xavier turned 7 months old today! Time flies when you're having fun! Xavier is sitting, crawling, drinking from a straw cup, eating solid foods, babbling, and giggling. He was 50 percentile for weight and 75 percentile for height at his well-baby check up a few weeks ago. He adores his big brother and is always smiles for mom and dad. We are so blessed.

Remembering Hunter Crawling

Hunter did the "butt scoot" from 9 to 13 months, and then finally did a traditional crawl before he walked at 16 months.

It's official, I have two kids who are mobile!

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.
