Our little baby girl is not much of a baby anymore!! She is walking and talking and loves to play with her baby doll. She is just getting too big. When the boys discovered how much she loved her baby doll, they thought it was fascinating. Kenney was shocked at how much she liked it too. He said, "She's such a girl." Why yes, she is a girl!
This is one of the first set of videos we got of Bentley walking. She is so cautious and thoughtful compared to her brothers!
Her balance is pretty good, and she can stand from anywhere, but she just refused to take steps on her own. She wanted to make sure it was safe!
She may have said Dada first, but she uses Momma much more!! Her deep voice is pretty funny. I wonder if it will always be deep?
She tries to carry her baby everywhere she goes.
We haven't discussed proper baby carrying technique yet!
She's a mess!!
She loves to give her baby kisses too!
It is so fun to watch her play with this baby, probably because I did the same thing when I was little!
Since we live in small town Texas it's hard to avoid Friday night football, but the boys seem to love it! Damon constantly has a football in his hands and loves to play catch, even with himself!
The boys got out of school early one day for the Peanut Festival, and we were able to go to the parade. The boys went off with some friends while Bentley and I hung out in the shade!
It was hot, but considering she didn't get any candy, she did really well during the parade!
Great grand kids with Papa Keys on his 85th birthday!
Radley walked up behind us and stood there for a while with his hands on our shoulders so I thought it would be a cute picture. I was right!!
Ready for some football!! This kid loves watching football and wants to play so bad!! He gets so into the game and loves it when the Rockets score!!
Bentley made some friends at the game too! She had a whole row of little girls doting on her!
It's hard to see, but there was a really pretty full moon that night.
Duck, duck, goose during halftime!
I was messing around with the panorama on my phone. I'm excited to see what it can do in daylight!
We have struggled to find a place to teach Kyler how to ride his bike and to find the time, but I guess we waited the perfect amount of time because it only took us 4 evenings for about 30 minutes for him to get it down!! We are so proud of him, and he couldn't be happier!
I'm shocked that he can ride as well as he does with Damon zipping in front of him so much. I can't tell you how many times both Kenney and I told Damon to stop doing that. I guess when Kyler finally hits him he will know why; it won't stop him, but at least he'll understand!
He was so excited to make a skid mark with his tires. At the end of the video he's shouting, "I made one!"
This is what Radley likes to do when we go to the hospital parking lot to let the others ride around. He climbs into the back of the hospital's truck and practices his super hero moves.
It's been so humid here lately that Bentley's hair gets curly, and it's so cute!!
She is just too cute!
The first brother induced bloody nose. He, who shall remain nameless, was giving her a ride on push along car, when she fell off onto the tile floor. It was an accident, and he felt bad even though he was shhhing her so he wouldn't get in trouble!
Daddy getting a picture of her growing lashes. They are getting longer thank goodness! I didn't want her brother to get all those lashes!
This girl loves toothbrushes! That's the only way I can get her hair in any kind of pigtail!
Labor day weekend ended up being a perfect time for our whole family to go to the river. We've gone a few times this summer, but it's infinitely better for all of us when Daddy can come too! Not only is he fun to play with, he helps so much just getting us there and back. And let's be honest, they would much rather play with him!!
The swimming hole. This is the one deep part where they can 'swim.' Radley always asks if he is going to sink, and he is pleased every time he survives saying, "I didn't die!"
Getting ready for the jump!
It's so nice when they play together.
She loves the water and had a blast crawling around.
She's also becoming quite the Daddy's girl. She has a special smile for him when he walks in the door. I love seeing them together!
And she couldn't help but eat the sand, over and over again!
Trying to figure out what this sand stuff really is!
Big splashes all around.
She was really hoping it would change.
Bringing out the squirt guns!!
There is something especially mischievous about this kid!
