cute boy

this is what we do when daddy is late getting off of work. don't worry, we were parked
and he always rides in a carseat.

he melts my heart

standing! no hands!

gettin there...

NO HANDS!! he did this for about 3.5 seconds.
I'm so proud!!

Speaking of...

I mentioned in that last post that I have a husband. 

Well I do!

Rodney and I made it official back in May.

We are so happy and we appreciate everyones support.

I know its been two months,
but we all know how much I slack on blogging.
Sorry.

I'm trying, I really am.

Once I can get the pictures, I will post them :)

Also!
Grace, Rodneys mom, and his two younger sisters,
Emily and Adri are coming to visit next month!
I am so so excited.

I love his family so much and I wish we could see them more.

( I guess they are my family now too )
:]

Plus, Emily just found out she is expecting a baby so I am extra excited to see her.

We already have some really fun stuff planned for them up in Kansas City.

Can't wait!!

Just a couple of bums.

I realized today that I don't have nearly enough pictures of Desmond and myself.

Please excuse our appearances.

 Desmond didn't feel like getting dressed and it was too hot to put make up on today.

I love my little boy :)

I was trying to get him to do his cheesy grin but I couldnt catch it!

Look at those teeth! Both his top ones have cut thru as well!

Doesn't like kisses from mama.

that's a little bit better. not really though.

i love him.

trying to get a picture of his teeth. not quite. but i love his lips!

cute.

I told him to look scared. This is what we came up with. He's so smart!

kisses.

I cannot explain the love I have for this little boy. He is growing too fast. 

So glad we finally have a camera to document his life though!

( Thanks Grace!! )

Now I just need to convince my husband that its "cool" to take pictures with your wife :) ha!

Independence Day / My Birthday

This year I decided to take on the family tradition of the big 4th of July barbeque.

Still sleeping when I had been to work for 4 hours already. :)

He LOVED the fireworks. So Happy.

Tired boy.

This was honestly the best birthday I have had in a long time.
Thank you to everyone who came!

I'm a slacker.

It's true.

But I am having more fun playing with my baby than I ever would blogging.

Sorry kids.

Anywho.

Desy has learned how to CRAWL! 

And his second tooth is pushing its way out.

My baby is getting so big.

7 months has gone by way way too fast. 

Slow down a bit please?
