Brashier Family Beach trip!




Back in July, we took a week long trip to Garden City with my family. This year, we had one more joining our beach trip, my nephew, Jackson, so all in all there were 12 of us!!! We had a great time and Dutch really enjoyed being with all of his cousins. He acts like such a big boy when he is around them. I guess he just wants to do whatever they are doing. It is so cute to see them all interact together!

















Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!

It has been a while since my last post...we have been so busy lately with trying to get everything in order for our addition to our house to begin. For those of you that may not have heard, with the new baby arriving in about 6 months, we will need to add on to our house to make room. We've been needing more room for a while now, but this was finally the "push" we really needed!

We've also been busy camping, going to the lake, playing in the parks, etc. It has been a fun summer for the Doherty family. It is hard to believe how fast time has gone by and how big Dutch has gotten!

A few things he is doing now:
* He is going full speed on his feet - running, walking, turning in circles to make himself dizzy, going up & down the stairs, climbing, etc.
* He LOVES his wagon and riding in it whenever he can!
* He also LOVES the water - pool, lake, bathtub, whatever!
* He hams it up for the camera these days, which I love!
* He says - Dada, Mama, Hot, thank you ("ank you"), his name (if you seen him lately, you know he says this CONSTANTLY and very well, might I add), Bye Bye ("baba"), This, Eyes, I did it, and Hi. Some of these, he has to be prompted to say, but most he'll say on his own.
* Mostly, he points and grabs at the air when he wants something instead of vocalizing it.
* We've got somewhat of a picky eater on our hands. He loves junk food and sweets - go figure!
* He loves emptying anything - drawers, cabinets, baskets, my purse & wallet.
* He loves books & looking at pictures. He always can find a book anywhere he goes.
* He also likes throwing his food everywhere, especially now that he ONLY wants to feed himself.
* We've finally got more than 4 teeth - woohoo! I think we are now up to 7 and I can see more popping through!

Pics to come soon!
