visit to muncie!

We were really lucky to get the chance to visit our great friends Grant and Sarah in their new town! They moved to Muncie, IN a few months back and we have missed them lots! Grant and Sarah were awesome enough to watch Davis while we went into Indianapolis for Kevin's cousin Scott's wedding. It was very lovely, and we had a great trip all around. Thanks Grant and Sarah!

mesmerized...

...by the baby einstein. davis and i don't watch television except on the rare occasion that i need to clip his nails. (usually once a month because it is so hard to manage!) he gets completely mesmerized by the baby einstein "day on the farm" dvd and i can hide his hands and feet from him while i clip away. grandma fabrey actually figured out this tip while we were at the beach because she noticed this was the only time that davis was actually still!

davis is walking like a big boy and even tries to run!!! (and then falls on his face or bum!) he is super cute, he could just practice his walking all day. he finds a favorite toy and carries it around chewing on it and walking in circles, just because he can! he is delighted with himself. he has been talking a lot more lately and says mama all the time, but usually to his toys instead of me! :(

9 months old!


Davis was 9 months old yesterday! The first year is flying by. We went to the doctor today for his 9 month checkup. Davis is in the 80th percentile for pretty much everything, although his head is a little bit larger. Apparently he has a big head. He weighs 22.5 pounds and is 29 inches tall. We had to say goodbye to the infant carseat, which is sad for mommy and daddy because that means if Davis falls asleep in the car, we will have to get him out of his seat to bring him inside! So much less convenient.

smiley man
















davis and claire!














Our friends Elaine and Ben Warren and their baby girl Claire came for a short visit from Seattle. Davis and Claire didn't really know what to think of each other this time. They are both getting so big! Check out this blonde hair and blue eyes on the Warren family! Gorgeous!
The last pic is just Davis with a milk mustache - he loves drinking out of my cup!

water baby!







gigi and grandpa bought davis this awesome pool for the summer. he absolutely loves it! he has been making motorboat sounds ever since he started playing in the water. he loves playing in the kitchen sink too as you can see!
oh and also, i think i found one of his top teeth this morning! finally they are coming i think!
davis has been standing up on everything, he started balancing to stand alone and even has attempted to take some steps! we think he will be walking pretty soon! i will have to post a video of him standing up and also of him crawling - it is super cute!

sunset beach vacation

we are home for our wonderful beach vacation. so far i don't have any pictures because my mom & dad kept the camera. so soon after they get home, i will post some pictures. we had an awesome time and davis loved the ocean!

the first time we sat him down in the sand next to daddy and grandpa to help build a sandcastle, of course he took a huge handful of sand and put it straight in his mouth! we didn't let him eat too much of it, and he learned pretty quickly that it didn't taste good. he loved digging in the sand with his hands and his feet (like a bull). the very first time he saw the ocean a big wave came in and he laughed really loud. he liked it when we jumped over the waves and when he sat down and the waves would come almost knock him down. he didn't get sunburned, but mommy and daddy both did!

we had mostly nice weather and it was really great to get together with our family. davis misses everyone and especially being the center of attention. we went to a restaurant yesterday and he was looking around at all the strangers and smiling. he thinks everyone is watching him all the time now i guess!

davis did awesome his first time on the plane. on the way there from kc to atlanta he got to fly first class which was lovely for baby and momma (thanks grandpa). he is quite a good little traveler.

oh and davis is almost crawling. he can go from laying on his belly to sitting back up and he scoots backwards and goes up into down-facing dog. it is really cute. he also likes to rock back and forth on his hands and knees. he is talking up a storm and has said mama and dada, but not as often as just babbling.

thanks for reading - i will post pictures as soon as i can!
