It seems as though from the last post I made in June until now, we have blinked our eyes and time has flown by! Pretty much the entire month of July we had visitors from either Wesley's side of the family or mine. Although it was an extremely busy month for us, we thoroughly enjoyed our time with family. It always seems to go by way too fast!
Kroy is doing outstanding. He is standing on his own, walking up to 8 steps at a time (!!), and saying "mama" and "dada". He is also cutting 2 molars right now, and once those come in that will give him a total of 10 teeth! Our days are busy with books, building blocks, singing songs, snacks, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and taking walks outside in the afternoons. Kroy has started not only to eat fruits and vegetables, but meat as well now! He enjoys lasagna, spaghetti, chicken noodles with veggies, and chicken and stars along with his fruits. He absolutely LOVES yogurt, but everyone knows he loves his Daddy even more than that. When Kroy hears the back door open, it is a race between crawling, trying to walk, and falling down to see how fast he can get to his Daddy. I love the interaction that Wesley and Kroy have at lunch and in the evenings together. It melts my heart every time. Wesley is such an amazing husband to me and an even more amazing father to Kroy. We are so incredibly blessed to have him!
Kroy got to spend some time with his Aunt Mandy and Uncle Matt this past July and he had the best time with them both. He went swimming, played in the dirt, and took wagon rides. I am not sure who enjoyed who more! They had the best time together. We also learned during their trip that Kroy is going to have another little cousin! That's right...my sister-in-law is expecting their first child and we already know it is going to be a little BOY! Kroy not only has a little girl cousin (Hadley - Christi & Clint's little girl who is 3 months old) that he can enjoy, but now he will have 2 boy cousins including his cousin Kannon in Texas! We are going to have some fun holidays in our future on BOTH sides of our families!!
Wesley has been staying super busy around the ranch with it being hay season. And we are coming up on our shipping and processing season so we will be in full swing again until around the middle of November. When needed, I help Wesley do things around the ranch that I can do with Kroy. We have taken out mineral, checked waters, and hauled hay together this summer. Kroy is becoming an all around rancher and he doesn't even know it yet! When Wesley and I get some "free" evenings together after Kroy has gone to bed, we have enjoyed roasting marshmallows and making smores and watching the beautiful Montana sunsets.
Kroy has thoroughly enjoyed his summer with Grandma and Grandpa up here, and also with his Mimi and Pops when they came for a week long visit back in late July. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures uploaded just yet of all our summer activities (I know...don't hate me though), but I will get them uploaded ASAP and share them with you all. Promise! Kroy is starting to transition between 2 naps a day to only 1 (sometimes), and with him cutting molars he isn't sleeping well for me during the day. So I don't get much time to update. But I will post pictures soon!
Enjoy the rest of the summer...what little is left of it! I know we will! :)
