8 Months of Smiley Happy Baby!

Oh my... 8 months. It seems like such a big number. Just like our big boy! Eating, laughing, moving machine! Typically I can't keep enough food in front of him, but those huge hands still are working on his 'pincer' grasp. He's almost 30" and almost 20 pounds. Tall and skinny... and still growing. I'm sure I say this every single month, but I honestly can't get enough of this little man. He's almost walking and just giggles and growls his way right into everyone's heart.

He's got his Michigan football outfit all ready for this weekend... we're raising a future Wolverine here!

We love you!


8 months

Canning... and watching Hyatt's personality grow!

We've been fortunate enough this year to have a huge amount of fruits and vegetables at our disposal... and so canning has been in full force. Of course Hyatt's along the way to help out with trying out the green beans, corn, peaches, tomatoes, watermelons, pears, peas... even beets!

Everywhere we go people ask us if he ever stops smiling... it's rare. He is such a happy kid!


As always, lovin papa and his guitar!

Canning corn with Grammy!

My first watermelon - an "orange crush"!

Wanting to play in the canning pot.

Yes, things don't change... he's still obsessed with beer bottles! (Doesn't he look like he's saying, "Hey, ladies... I'm the cool guy")

Oh no... we took the beer bottle away. He's obviously devastated!

Check you guys later!

Starting to get the hang of it!

Hyatt's been attempting to cruise, stand and walk lately... Here's a short video of the process! :)

Catching up on July!

Hyatt's crawling, walking behind his new little wooden push cart, babbling mama all day. He LOVES his swing, papa's beard and 4-wheeler, being outside in general. He stares and smiles at our ducks, chickens, pigs and Gooseyboy. He's definitely an animal lover. Here are a few pictures to update you with July!


Mama duck made it with 5 ducklings! We still have 2 little guys that have stayed strong over the past month!

Hyatt still loves beer bottles...

...and eating!

he's turning into quite the mischievous, happy character!

I found mama's green beans from our garden that she's getting ready for canning. Yum!

Boating in June

I'm still trying to catch up with all the pictures we took in June (a month behind, I know)! Hyatt's grown so much... but I wanted to make sure to share!
