8 months

The little guy is 8 months old today...and boy! He is such a little man. He has been the best baby so far, and we love him more than anything!

A holiday trip to Pittsburgh

My parents are serving as mission president and wife in Pittsburgh, PA right now, and we got to go visit them for almost 2 weeks over Christmas break. It was so much fun! We had 6 out of the 8 children there, which made for lots of fun times.

This was our first plane ride together, and the very first for David! He was such a champ...slept most of the time!

Looking super handsome with his new haircut. Looking back, I don't know why we waited so long to cut it...hopefully he won't get too mad in the future when looking back at pictures!

 The view of Pittsburgh from the incline.

 Jeff was super interested in how the incline worked. 

   The view from Mt. Washington.

My handsome guy....I'm a lucky woman!

The weather was amazing while we were there- hitting the 50s often! We spent some good time outside whether it was hiking, going to the park, or playing tennis.

 Cousin time was plentiful. And boy, are they fun ones! Marguerite is a gem- such a beautiful little soul growing up so fast. Colette is a hoot...the biggest source of entertainment in the house the entire stay. And Romy Danda is just a sweetheart with the happiest little personality. We loved being with them!

 "Can somebody PLEASE take my picture?"

"It's not working!"

 Mallory was there too...we like her. It is so cute how much bigger she is than David although she is 8 weeks younger. She is a little chunk of cuteness though!

 Andrew, of course, was there for entertaining as well. It was nice to hear him play that violin again! And Colette had to join in by running around him and dancing in her pioneer dress.

 We took one day to meet up with Jessica, Jeff's sister, from Arlingington! We went and had lunch, and just chatted for a while...it was so nice to catch up with her because we don't get to see her much!

We definitely are going to make another trip to this beautiful place...We loved it!

7 months

Well, better late than never, right? David turned 7 months over Christmas break....and we couldn't love him more! 

 His arms though...he has the Popeye look!
