first....birthday & haircut...

so we've been EXTREMELY busy lately with school & dance starting back up.. just trying to adjust to having to be somewhere every morning of the week has been a challenge(because little man is still nursing, that alone adds 30 minutes to morning routine) so sadly the blog has taken a backseat..so here we are labor day weekend & finally getting to catch our breath! the kids are out front playing in this incredible weather & knox is wearing out the carpet on the steps beside me..up & down he goes, he's really very good at it!

here's a few from his birthday...since mike & lance's bdays are right along with knox's, we had everyone over the night before for a lil party & of course, we carried the party right on over to the next day...

what knox's is up to lately...
*not walking :)...will stand & occasionaly take a step or 2, but otherwise seems disinterested
*saying 'thank you', hollaring 'brax', 'na-na' when protesting (no), & 'loook' when he sees trees
*makes smacking/kissing noises when he sees brix (wants a kiss from him)
*as soon as mia gets home from school, he's practically pulling her down to get in her lap(very sweet)
*anything that resembles cars/trains/motorcycles..he's pushing them around saying "bmmmbmmm"

what a sweet lil man! we're so glad to have this past year with him. he's mellow, affectionate, & an all around joy to have!


i think i caught just about everyone off guard on this pic..

waking him up on his actual bday...




brix finished his cupcake so he thought knox 'might wanna share'... knox didn't think it was such a great idea..




i love that he still makes this face! he used to do this before he was able to say 'hi'...he'd scrunch is nose & smile at ya..he doesn't do it as much anymore so was glad to catch this one on film..

his guilty face after getting into the popcorn..

first haircut!!
