The Mexican Riveria. . .

We are going cruise'n for the next week and we are soooo excited! This is a picture of our ship and the room we will be staying in. This is our first cruise and we are going to be celebrating our 5th year of marriage (even though it's in May)! We are leaving friday and will be staying at Jennifer's house (nathan's sister) and Saturday we are going to Sea World and Sunday we leave for MEXICO! Our ports are Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, then Puerta Vallarta, and then home that next Sunday. Tavis is going to be staying with Jennifer's family for the week and we will miss him so so much! I am actually really scared but I know he will be just fine! I have made a picture book of him that Nathan and I can look at when we're really sad and lonely so at least we will have that. I have just about packed everything so we are ready to go. I will miss you all and we see you all when we get back. Love Jess!

He Tries so Hard. . . Well Not Really

So Tavis is now 8 months and not crawling but he is starting to kind of try. It's been so hard with his helmet because of it's weight and how it is on his neck that he really really hates to be on his stomach at all! If you put him on his stomach he immediately rolls over to his back and get very upset if you stop him from going to his back. But, he is standing with some help and is loving the tallness of himself. He has also started this arm raising thing and starts blaabering loudly when he puts his arms in the air. . it just makes us laugh so hard. Lately he has really found his voice and chooses to share it at every opportunity possible. Well in these pictures was one of our try to reach/crawl. . maybe creep even a little episodes and as you can see in one of the pictures and stops for a rest and that was that. Have fun and enjoy the pictures. Oh yeah and he reaches and grab anything! I love this stage. . We are such proud parents and love every bit of this!
