Sittin' pretty

Camden may be the laziest sitter I've had. Once he gets tired of sitting for a second, he throws himself down. I finally got some pictures of him sitting up.





Now he's down

We finally brought out the highchair and he loved it. He kept making funny faces and banging on the table.

I can't believe my baby is 8 months old!

Ride 'em Cowboys!

Troy's parents came for a visit and Grandpa Dan brought his homemade Christmas gift to the kids. It's a darling rocking horse. He did a lot of work on it and we love it! We miss you Grandma and Grandpa!


Cooper had to put the cowboy dress-ups on in order to ride!

Brooklyn wasn't so sure about the "buckin' bronco" at first but now she can get on all by herself.

Yes, it really can hold me. I realize Camden looks drugged in this picture, he is! He's had 2 double ear infections in the past few weeks and was a miserable little baby. That's over, but now he's teething!
