Thad went on his first camping trip! He loved it! We have some friends that are white water raft guides and they invited us on their American River rafting/camping trip. Everyone had a great time on the river and and the non-rafters had fun hanging out at the campsite for the day. Thad and his 1 1/2 month old friend Annie did great sleeping in tents - the outdoors really agreed with them. Can't wait to go again soon!!
Wow, eight months already. He had his 8 month check up today and he weighs 19lbs 6 ozs and is 28 1/2 inches long. Here are some things Thad is up to.
Crawling - army style.
Eating a lot of different foods including finger foods. He is really good at picking things up and getting them in his mouth - which is not limited to food items : )
He has waved a few times.
He loves to swim and take a "tubby". He gets so excited when he hears us start the tub.
We had to skip family camp this year due to a flu outbreak at camp (yikes)! Instead we took a last minute trip to Tahoe. Tahoe is so fun in the summer! We spent a long week in Squaw Valley and went hiking, hung out at the beach and enjoyed the outdoors. Both of our families were there, as well as some great friends - it was fun spending time together. Our trip was wonderful with the exception of Thad's sleeping. He went from sleeping through the night to waking up every couple hours. It made for some tired parents! Everything made sense when we got home and two bottom teeth appeared - one right after the other. Poor guy!
Pat and Dan played in the annual Wellness Community golf tournament again this year. Pat helped with the planning and made an amazing speech at the event.
We celebrated Pat's 32nd b-day with a bbq with a bunch of friends. We had a great time! So many of our friends have babies now - it was fun to get the kids together!
