What a beautiful Sunday afternoon...we packed up and went to the Dallas Arboretum, wind and all...it turned out to be an incredible day. We laid out a blanket and relaxed in the shade, took some Easter pictures and strolled around and looked at all the pretty flowers. After looking at these, Sonny is pretty good at taking pic's he smiled for the camera! What a ham:) a perfect afternoon!
The months have been flying by and Sonny is growing bigger every day...so much has happened I'm not sure where to begin. He's 5 months now, and weighs 18 lbs. He has started eating cereal and veggies. So far I have been making his food and his favorite is yellow squash. He makes a huge mess and is quite the comedian. He has 2 teeth, one is just coming in and its super funny when he smiles and laughs at me. He finally discovered all his toys but his absolute favorite thing to do is lay on the floor and roll around back and forth...and he looks up at you afterwards to make sure you were watching him. I guess he gets that from me. I thought this pic was cute of his hair. My mom (ViVi) fixes it like this after his bath. She says its how babies wore their hair in the "olden days"...I told her its really a modern day mow hawk. 
We have had a great start to the fall season so far. Michael and I have been busy these last couple of weeks counting down to Sonny's arrival. Trying to fit in some last minute things we won't be able to do for a while. The nursery is finished, the house is clean, and our hospital bags are packed. We have had fun these past few weeks having "dinner nights" with friends eating out and eating in. I had one last "Girl's Night Out" to catch up with some great friends and have a few laughs. We made it to the state fair and had a blast scooting around...taste testing all the wonderful treats. I got a little tired walking around the park so we decided to rent a motorized scooter so I would be a little more mobile. What a great idea and well worth it! October 1st we welcomed the arrival of my dear friends Tiffany and Cory Ingram's little one Noah Douglas Ingram, it was amazing getting to meet the little man. I can't wait for Sonny to meet his new friend. I only have a few days left until we are blessed with our son...the anticipation is overwhelming...I am looking forward to becoming a mom.
The first week of August we went on our annual beach trip with Michael's family to South Padre Island. Michael's cousin Carrie got an amazing new camera for her birthday so we have beautiful pictures to share. We had a great time hanging out on the beach during the day, eating great food, and playing games in the condo. This year I was 29 weeks pregnant and still had a blast, so next year will be even better with little Sonny D playing in the sand.
