I'm a growing boy!

We went to the doctor today for Dutch's four month checkup. Dr. Phillips says he is very healthy and everything looks great! Here are his stats at this time.

Weight: 14 lbs. 13 oz. (41%)

Height: 26.8 in. (93%)

Needless to say, he is long and lean!!! Maybe he is going to be a basketball player...

Happy Birthday, Dennis!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

We hope you have a great day and we will see you once you get home from Charleston!
We love you very much!!!

Goodbye Summer, hello Fall!

With cooler temperatures approaching, we decided to have one last hoorah with our new swimming pool - ha! We have had so much fun this summer, but we are looking forward to fall!

Happy FIRST Birthday, Kelan and Rory!

The Birthday Boys

We cannot believe how fast these two have grown up! It seems like yesterday they were born! They are the sweetest boys and we were happy to get to celebrate with them for their birthday.

We have just recently received news that they will be moving to Vancouver, so we will be sad to see them go. I'm sure they will love seeing more of their family on the West coast, but we will miss seeing them grow up and play with Dutch.

Happy Birthday again! We will miss you all when you move!

Happy Four months!!!

Today, Dutch is four months old. It amazes me how quickly he is growing and changing. He is so much fun these days - laughing, smiling and babbling all day long. We feel so blessed that we have such a wonderful baby!!!

We have had a busy week/weekend with the Big Dig, Kelan and Rory's first birthday party, hanging with friends and going to church. I am so happy that Sunday has arrived and we are able to slow down a bit!

Here are some recent pics...

Our friends Matt and Joy came to visit Dutch!

I know you were all waiting on pins and needles!!!

The Groome Family (plus one!)

FINALLY, I can proudly congratulate my sister, Kim, on expecting her third child next Spring. We are so excited for them and cannot wait for Dutch to have another cousin running around. Because this is going to be her last, we are hoping for a girl since she has two boys currently; however, a boy would be just as nice and Dutch would have someone so close in age to play with! It is still very early, so we pray everything goes well for her during the pregnancy.

There must be something in the water...don't let me drink it (at least not yet!)

I am so happy that I can FINALLY congratulate Jen, Catherine and Macy on their pregnancies!!! They are all due in the Spring of '08 and we could not be happier for them. We love when any of our friends tell us that they are expecting; it just means Dutch will have lots of little friends running around in no time!

Now, I am just waiting on the OK to announce and congratulate one more (no, not me!)...

I can eat my feet - well, almost!

Dutch has a new fascination with his feet. He is constantly grabbing at them and I'm starting to think one day I will see him with them in his mouth! These are some pics I took this morning after he woke up.

We cheered on those Gamecocks, but...

It didn't work out so well. Vandy beat Carolina 24-17 (not that I am complaining, sorry DJ!). Dutch wore his Gamecock outfit that we got from Lauren. It was a little big and he was drooling all over it, so we changed to a t-shirt so he'd be more comfortable.

Our newest piece for entertainment...

Dutch absolutely loves his Jumperoo! We got a kick out of watching him after we put him in it for the first time. He is still to small for his feet to touch the ground, but in time he will be able to jump on his own. For now, the bouncing, music and lights will do!!!
