Welcome Baby Harline!

Cassie and Chris had their little baby boy today. Instead of posting it here, I did a post for her on her blog for everyone to see. He is cute and sweet and everything a little baby should be. Living closeby, I get unlimited squeezing rights! Anyhow, see her blog for the pics and stats.

He's Mobile!!!

Rex has been getting into the crawl position for months now, but has always refused to crawl. He hates being on his tummy, but he loves trying to walk. After months of trying to get him moving, we finally figured he'd skip crawling and just walk since he's getting pretty close. Then today happened. He crawled!!! He also figured out how to get up the stairs. I think he will sleep well tonight. Here's a little bit of the action:

My Big Boy

Rex is still really big for his age. I bought these crocks for him last fall. I bought them with a friend who has a baby a couple months older than Rex. Being the nerd I am, I also bought a few orange shirts for him to wear with them for the summer. The shoes are already almost too small while my friend's baby (2 months older) still can't wear them because they're too big. I guess we grow 'em big here, but I think we also grow 'em really cute.

Belly Dancing

Rex found a great new place to sit when chilling with aunt Cassie. Here is some belly dancing like you've never seen it before.

Funny Cam

I was at Cassie's today and Cam was telling my something. He speaks really clearly and it's pretty rare that I don't understand what he's saying. However, today I just couldn't figure it out. After listening to him say it about three times I yelled, "Cassie!" She was upstairs and I figured she'd be able to translate. Cassie didn't respond, so them Cam himself yells up to her, "WHAT IS CAMDEN SAYING????" I thought it was so funny that he knew I was confused and that was why I was yelling Cassie's name. He is such a smart little guy. I love it!

Lumberjack Jeff

On Saturday Jeff made the purchase that all men eventually make - a chainsaw. Now you know not to mess with him. Here he is taking down our big pine tree. (Okay, he's really just trimming off the dead branches.)

One Sweaty Little Napper

Rex gets super sweaty during his naps - even if I don't put a blanket on him. Here he is sporting some amazing nap hair. I didn't adjust it at all. This is all natural Rex and he's all mine.
