Party Time

This weekend Riley’s parents and his sister’s family were able to come to Vegas as part of their summer vacation. It was a busy, busy weekend full of fun. We started out with Boston’s first trip to Chucke Cheese. He was a bit worried about the giant mouse, but with his cousins there to encourage him, he warmed up pretty quick. I think it is safe to say, we all had a lot of fun.

Saturday we headed to Wet n Wild... where I didn’t take any pictures. Boston had lots of fun with his grandma and cousins and Riley and I have now tested out almost all of the slides.

Saturday night we were able to catch a 51’s baseball game.  

The weekend also included a near heart attack in the middle of the night when Riley's niece accidentally set off our alarm when she got up to go to the bathroom. I thought we were getting robbed while we had a house full of people! But we got it all sorted out (and I apologize to any neighbors, even in neighboring states, who may have been woken up by our alarm :)). 

Overall, the visit was a blast, and I hope all of our visitors decide to come back soon!

Good for Your Soul

This video is so cute, it is good for your soul. Riley was throwing a ball towards Boston, and apparently it was hilarious.

9 Months!

I can’t believe how fast time is going, Boston is already nine months old!

He is 20 pounds and 28 inches.
He has 4 teeth: the 2 front ones on bottom, and his vampire teeth on top.

He walks around all of the furniture and can let go for a few steps before he chickens out and takes off crawling (which he does super fast).

He says “mama” and “dada”.

His favorite toys are his giant bear, the stairs, and any kind of ball (and I just happen to have video of all three:)).

Boston’s First Independence Day

To celebrate the 4^th of July, there was a bike parade at the church. Since Boston is a bit young for a bike, we tied some balloons to his stroller and called it good. He loved watching the other kids ride by (he liked it so much that I could not get a good picture with him looking at the camera). We also celebrated by letting him try his first snow cone. It was a big hit turning his face and all spit up for the rest of the day a nice smurf blue. We were then able to head up to Enterprise for Riley’s Grandpa’s 80^th Birthday party. After the holiday weekend, Riley had to head back to Vegas, while Boston and I spent the week in E-Town hanging out with his family. It was lots of fun. I am really lucky to have such awesome In-laws.

Quick Little Stinker

Boston has gotten so quick, and so good at getting into trouble. He has figured out how to open drawers and cupboards and can’t rest until he has pulled every thing out of them. He thinks cords are awesome chew toys and is totally quick and sneaky when he spots one. Plus, the stairs are his favorite place to play. The best part about all of this is that he knows he is being a little stinker. He terrorizes our house with a huge grin on his face and once he knows you are coming to stop him, he just moves quicker. He likes to turn around and pat my head as I follow him up the stairs. It is kind of like his way of saying: “good job mom, you are doing so good to keep up”.

Just a few of the many, many times I've caught Boston causing trouble

Tonight he spent a good 30 minutes chasing Riley. Which means the game was long enough for me to catch some of it on camera. He really is such a cute little stinker! I love him so much and can’t imagine my life without him J.
