Silas and Eric had their first of many games of catch today. We've been keeping very busy around here with my family visiting then a trip back to Idaho. But we're getting back into our normal routine so I'll hopefully be better about blogging.

So I haven't been keeping up with the old blog. I'll try to catch up. My family's in town so we took a little drive up to Forks and La Push. Forks was a let down. :( I'm not sure what I was expected but there wasn't much to see. La Push was very fun. We went to first beach and the babies got all sandy and dirty. 

So I've had a wonderful Mother's Day. Eric made me yummy pancakes for breakfast and Silas (Eric) got me these canisters. I've wanted some for awhile. Eric wasn't sure what to put in the smallest one and was going to fill it with chocolate but I'm trying to figure out what Silas is allergic to so I'm off chocolate for a bit. After church all three of us took naps and when Silas finally woke up Eric got up with him and let me sleep another TWO hours. So nice! Then tonight Eric made an amazing dinner of salmon and grilled steak. It was very impressive and everything was perfect.  

Silas enjoyed Easter. Last year before he was born I got him an Easter outfit but his vest was the only thing that still fit. 

My second attempt at an update

A few weeks ago i had a empty diaper box in the living room and Silas crawled to it and pulled himself up and started using it as a walker. He loves it. He makes this face the whole time he's walking around. I went to the store without the boys the other day and brought them home some bubbles to play with. Silas wasn't really sure about them. He tried to grab a few but mostly just looked a little unsure. During conference this weekend Eric got some cuddles.

Silas is now up to 5 teeth. He loves having his teeth brushed. I made the mistake of leaving his toothbrush and toothpaste on a low table and Silas put the tooth brush on his little thumb and was brushing his teeth. He thought he was pretty funny.

So we finally got a day of sun shine about a week ago and Eric had the day off so we were able to go out and enjoy it. We tried to get some good pictures of Silas but he wasn't really in the mood. Here he's doing his trick where he stands on Eric's hand. Sadly he wont be doing this for much longer, he starting to notice how high he is and bends his legs. I went to the store while Eric watched Silas so I brought them home a treat, BUBBLES! Silas wasn't too sure about them. We'll try again when we can play outside.

This was my second attempt at putting these pictures on. I hope it works this time!

9 months!!!

Silas is 9 months old! Such a big kid! I'm having to pack up all his 9 month clothes though and we're getting out all the 12 month clothes.

This week has been full of fun. Tuesday night we got to go see the Galaxy play the Sounders. That means we saw Beckham! It actually wasn't that cool. He was so little it took us the first twenty minutes to figure out which one he was. But other than Beckham being so small and the terrible weather, it was a really fun game. It was also the first time Eric and I had left Silas for such a long time. He had lots of fun with his Grandma and I was able to enjoy most of the game.

I just thought I'd throw this picture in. My boys playing in the pack and play.

And here's the video of Silas's first day of crawling. He had terrible form and it took so much effort to get anywhere. He now still has pretty bad form but he's moving faster and doesn't grunt and cry the whole time.
Sorry the video wouldn't load.

Tooth number 3

This week one of Silas's top teeth finally broke through! It's very exciting and his other one doesn't seem to be too far behind. He's also starting to crawl finally. It's pretty funny to watch. He's all over the place and he grunts and complains the whole time he crawls. We have video of it but i'm having a hard enough time typing. The boy is demanding to sit on my lap and he's just going back and forth between trying to type and chew on my fingers. I'll work on getting a picture of the new tooth and the video of crawling.
