11 Months Old!

Happy 11 Months Scott!
Currently he weighs 25 pounds and has 5 teeth!

Right now Scott:

 Loves carrying his "friends" around the house. He generally has one with him at all times. 

 Loves going for hikes with DaDa in his snowsuit in the backpack.

 Can frequently be found making messes of all sorts.

Has the cutest toddler walk ever! He walks everywhere with his hands up in the air.
I am constantly followed around the house ;)

He also loves reading books.
A lot of times he will sit on the ground by himself and turn the pages babbling like he is pretending to read.

I also know he understands a lot more. Like if you say "Scott go turn on the fan" he will go over to the light switch for the ceiling fan that is about his height and turn it on.

He still loves people. He has a fake laugh these days that he does ALL the time.
Anytime someone is laughing he starts laughing too. So cute!

I cannot believe he will be a year old in a few weeks!
At the same time I can't imagine life without him.
We love our little buddy!

Scott Dancing

Brad Paisley!

Last night we went to the Brad Paisley concert! 

I can't imagine a concert I would be more excited about attending. 

I like country music and I LOVE Brad Paisley the most of any artist.

Luckily the only person more enthusiastic than me about attending a Brad Paisley concert is my sister-in-law Emily. 

She is a member to his "fan club" and got us awesome tickets!

What would a country music concert be without going to Texas Road House first? 

I have to admit Texas Road House was not at the top of my list (or anywhere near) of places I'd like to eat.

But I do love good barbeque and have been sold on their ribs and rolls with cinnamon butter. 

I still don't love it nearly as much as Nate. He is a man who appreciates such things.

 Emily and Graden!

 Picking up the tickets!

Being a member of his "fan club", Emily got to go on a backstage tour before the show. 

She got to touch his guitars and learn cool things like that Brad helped build part of the set for the show.

 

I've never been so close for a concert! Our seats were literally right there. 

Scotty McCreery and The Band Perry opened. 

So awesome!

 As if we weren't crazed fans enough, we went and stood along the stage before Brad Paisley came on. 

Nobody made us move. And it's always better to ask for forgiveness than permission right?

It turns out Brad Paisley only high fives guys and touches little kids heads. 

So I can't say the hands that are typing this post touched Brad Paisley's hand. 

But it was still cool being so close!

Loved loved loved the show! He played all his best songs.

And can I also add how great it is to have a date night without Scott? Always a treasure.

Such a perfect Friday night!

This Morning...

I sent these boys off to church! I am home relaxing because I got my wisdom teeth out on Friday. 

Yesterday I crocheted Scott a bow tie using this tutorial. It was a great beginners project!

I think he looks oh so dapper with it on.

But what can I say? It's always a good hair day when you're Scott...

  I love my sweet boys!

Hopefully Nate survives church alone!

New Food Blog

My best friend Jessica and I started a food blog together!

Because we both share the same love for fresh basil, throwing parties, diet coke, and pasta.  

It's nice to have a creative outlet for my greatest passion - cooking!
And it may be my secret ploy to get recipes out of Jess, because she is a fabulous chef.

Right There!

Scott has been trying to say a new word lately. 

He has a series of books where there is a mouse on each page. 

Lately he has been pointing to the mouse and trying to say "right there!"

I love his little funny voice!

A Date and First Steps

Yesterday this lovely lady watched Scott so we could go see the Young Ambassadors!
Nate got me tickets for Christmas.
I'm glad he supports my obsession with all things music/dance/theater related.  

 

These days a night to get away is extra special. 

Where we can talk at dinner without being interrupted by a cute, but demonstrative 10 month old.

 Seriously the lightest gnocchi I've ever had at Gloria's Little Italy!

The show was fantastic! I literally laughed and cried....

In other news, Scott took his FIRST STEPS!

watch here!

I'm so proud of my big boy!
