Our Week in Review

Here's another LONG post about our week. This summer is flying by, getting hotter and it's about to get even busier!!!! We started out the week with a pool day with the Ezells. Roy Austin LOVED the kiddie pool. He kept crawling right into the deep end and didn't seem to mind going head first into the water. He likes to live on the dangerous side of life.

Cole and Caroline had a little tea party, pool side. Pool water is delicious.

Then, Grammy and Grandaddy came in town for one night. Grandaddy was in town on business, so Grammy tagged along for the pleasure side of the trip. It's always a treat to have them visit . Speaking of treats, Grandaddy took us to get ice cream one night. We heart Marble Slab:

Poor little guy. He has to wait 3 more months to get his first taste of sugar. Mean Mommy!

The next night, we all went to Firebirds (my fave) before they left to go back home. Grandaddy kept asking Roy Austin why he was wearing a "sissy dress". It's a bubble, Daddy, and according to my clock, I have 9 more months for him to wear smocked goods.

The boy in the bubble decided to put on a little photo shoot for us at the table. He loves to get his picture taken and literally smiles when I get the camera out. See for yourselves:

Okay, Roy Austin. Work with me here. Give it all you got...

Okay, in this one I want you to act natural. Chill. You're just one of the guys hanging out after work.

Now, in this one I want you to act flirty, own it. You're a silly boy and you know it...

Now, you're bashful, embarrassed.

Whoops, someone is getting jealous. Too much attention is being paid to the little brother. How big is Caroline? She's SOOO big!

A few more and we'll call it a wrap, Roy Boy. You're doing great. Give me your best smile. There you go! Keep going!

Okay, last one. Be confident. Be yourself. Good job!

Now, I promise this entire post isn't about RoyBoy. It was just a big week for him. By the way, he's doing the "SO BIG" motion as of this week, too. Wednesday morning I was on the computer (big shock) as he was crawling around downstairs. I finally came to my senses and wondered where he was. Remember when I said he loved danger? Again, Bad Mommy, BAD!

Apparently he can add climbing stairs to his bag of tricks and he thinks it's hilarious. Time for gates. Later that afternoon, he escaped my vision again and I found him halfway up the entire staircase.

On Thursday, we met some of our friends at the light-rail station and rode the train uptown to Discovery Place. Here is Caroline and two of her buddies, Cole and Caleb:

Sweet Caleb was so worried about Caroline's booboo. You're a good friend, Caleb:) We saw a bunch of neat stuff at Discovery Place including this huge T-Rex:

It was a fun morning, but we had to leave early to make it home for naps so we could go back to the doctor for Roy Austin's 9 month check up:

Here's the stats: He weighs 21 pounds and his head size is, once again, off the charts! I'm going to blame that stat on the Graham side (sorry, Jane!)

To end our week, we watched Kathryn and Caleb today for their mommy. I love that these kids are all the same ages and they'll grow up together! They had a great time, as always.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. It will be pretty quiet around here but the next two weeks will be busy ones for us!
