I love this little Ansi Mansi.

Where did my baby go?

Took these pics right before his nap...he looks sleepy. He's still waking up at night to nurse. I guess we're both tired. 

I get more comments on his hair than anything else. It won't lay down and I don't try to get it to lay down.

He's talking a lot and acts like he's having a real conversation with us. 

It's pretty cute to hear his little voice and inflection.

Getting harder and harder to take his picture. 

Here he is laughing with Gabriella and Jude, my backdrop holders.

Ansel is getting more and more physical. He's racing all over the floor, plays with his siblings and gets into things he ought not to. He likes to bang pots and pans, play with wooden blocks and rings, and explore his surroundings.  I am finding that I have to vacuum the carpet a lot these days. He will pick up any crumb and eat it. The other day he picked up a piece of celery... choked, gagged, coughed and then threw up on the floor...he smiled and then crawled away from the scene. Lovely.

JM and the big kids enjoyed some bed jumping on Saturday

 Thomas Swim Trunks

Some time outside and a little bike riding on the weekend too.

 He likes to watch and eat leaves and grass. I'm not kidding.

No more training wheels for this lady.

 Gabriella has an out of sight tan from all the swimming she's been doing.

Jude man doesn't tan quite as dark. I think my Hispanic blood skipped him all together.

This sweetie came down with a little bug that night. Fever and the like. He passed it on to his little bro too. No fun having a fever and cold in the summer time! 

Hair. I liked to say there was static in the air...but there wasn't.

Gabriella Milan took this one. I see some resemblance, don't you.

Swimming Lessons at Biola University for 2 weeks. 

Jude was in the 1st level class. Gabriella was in the 2nd level.

Brrr. Salt water pool was freezin according to Jude.

Jude and Mr. Dan.

Learning how to float

Gabriella loves the water! She took lessons in June at Biola too. She really has improved this summer.

Ansel's first time in the pool. Looooved it.
