An accidental visit!

We ran into Monica, Nelson's Godmother, coming home from the Taste of Chicago. She just graduated from medical school. Nelson is very proud of her, as you can see. Nelson LOVES the Taste of Chicago. He will eat ANYTHING--look at his side of the stroller!

Visiting with our friends, The Nelson's and The Warner's

Alex, Katie and Nelson. They are all 3 weeks apart. Nelson is the oldest.

Teddy, Ben and Graham--they are 6 months apart.

Look who is brushing their GUMS--cause he has NO TEETH.

And PS--he CLIMBED on the chair himself. He's crazy!

Dangerous!--And smart!

Graham wanted to touch the lightbulbs--so he got Momma's oven mitts that she uses for the oven since they were HOT! How did this even OCCUR to him? Needless to say, Momma put an end to this little project.

Nelson's 9 month checkup

I am 9 months old now.
I weigh 16 pounds and am 26 .75 inches long

I am 2 pounds lighter and 3/4 of an inch taller than Graham at the same age. Graham got bored and tried to leave.

Chillin' with Abuela

Happy Family!

Spooky weather on Lake Shore Drive!

Auntie Margo came to visit!

Nelson's eye began to swell as SOON as Momma left! Daddy was scared it would look like Momma's!

Graham got hot and was hiding himself. Graham is OBSESSED with vehicles. He got to sit on a TRACTOR!
Petting the goat.
Graham actually cared more about jumping off the thing the goats were on and playing in the water they drink than the actual goats.
Nelson just being his cute self. One day he can interact with all the fun stuff we do!
