Sitting UP

Mommy's big boy has finally mastered sitting up!

8 Months

You got your first 2 teeth this month! You had some really nasty diapers and were gnawing on everything!
You are on the verge of crawling-you will be any day now. You do this funny thing where you almost look like you are doing a pushup. You still are getting up on all fours and lunging to get where you want to go.
We tried some 3rd foods this month, but you didn't really care for the chunks in there. You still gagged, so we are sticking with 2nd  foods. We did give you a mashed up banana and you LOVED it!
You like to play peekaboo and you love when Camden rubs his head on your belly. You are so very ticklish too. Dady gets the best belly laughs. Speaking of Daddy, you can be as crabby as can be and then Daddy gets home and you are suddenly a happy camper. You sure love your Daddy!

The dedication that almost didn't happen...

We invited family and friends, we got there early, we dressed in our best and after praise and wroship, Pastor Randy started his message. Ummmm, wait a second. Then, Pastor Tim kneels beside Todd and I knew it couldn't' be good. Somehow, Jaden's dedication didn't get on the schedule. But Pastor Tim made it happen anyway and you would have never known it was last minute.

To our sweet Jaden:

Mommy and Daddy are so humbled to be your parents. You are such a blessing to us and have brought our family so much happiness. You already have such a testimony and we love sharing it. God truly blessed us when he gave us you. We love you more than we can ever tell you!

Look, there's the races!

The Rouggly's invited the Medley's to join them in the VIP box for the I-55 Races tonight, but Mommy had to stay home with Baby J. The boys had an awesome time and now every time, we pass the races on 55, we hear, "Look, there's the races!"

Baby McKinley

Camden was full of questions when we told him Aunt Mickie had a baby in her belly. The funniest was, "Will she have clothes on when she comes out?" He gave Baby McKinley a kiss that day before Aunt Mickie left and of course, Mommy snapped a picture. We can't wait to meet our new cousin, McKinley!

the Gateway Grizzlies

You got to go to a Gateway Grizzlies game with Papa, Grandma, Aunt Beth, Nick and Emmy. You got your baseball signed by lots of the players and had so much fun!

Another family fun day

Just checking things off our summer bucket list.... (Science Center and more cake hunting)
