McKay is almost 8 months now. He has 4 teeth and has just discovered how to pull himself up to stand AND CHEW on his crib. Lovely. We've gone a little ghetto with our blanket tied across the top rail of his crib-in an attempt to help save it from his sharp little teeth carving some serious gashes! I was going to get rich and invent a teething rail cover for cribs---I've just been informed that someone beat me to that one....lame. Guess I'll be helping make that person a little richer when I go purchase one.....:)
The first time I realized McKay could stand up-I had gone into his room to try to calm him down from the tantrum he was throwing (he wasn't especially excited about taking a nap). I walked in and there he was...screaming his head off...holding on for dear life!
Who can deny that cute face??!
My latest hobby has been to re-finish furniture. I'm a little sad I didn't take "before" pictures of these two projects. The desk had light oak drawers and top, and the rest (including the knobs on the drawers) was forest green. I re-did it and even added cuter hardware! The bookshelf was given to me by my cute neighbor who moved :(-it was light oak as well (I sold that). I guess I'm on this red kick or something. I love it!! Hence the RED birds on my wall. I made those one night when Josh was working. Sortof random right?
We made a trip up to our cabin on Kolob with my parents the other night. It was so much fun! One of our favoriet places with some of our favorite people! We roasted hot dogs and of course had to make s'mores (for me!!)-they were so yum!
The rodeo was in town last week and I convinced my sweet hub to take me---he even put his cowboy hat on for a picture! (but only for that) Belen (my niece) had a great time wearing his hat and hanging out with us. It was pretty funy playing "cowboy" for the evening. I even wore my boots!
Grandpa Jay and Grandma Kay came up Sunday afternoon to hang out. McKay was thrilled to see them and had a great time showing off! Thanks for coming up guys! Love you!
