The week of the 4th

Had to cook some good-ole American 4th food for my hungry hubby.  The crock-pot BBQ chicken turned out amazing!
My first cobbler! Since Matthew's family always picks blackberries over the summer and makes one, I didn't want him to miss out this year. (Mine were store bought, sorry baby.)
It's funny how pictures make everyone think you have a perfect baby. He started crying two seconds after this picture. I still love you precious baby boy.
I love this face... "Are you kidding me with this hat?"
This was a big deal. Silas sitting up by himself for the first time! (With the help of extra padding)
I think he was proud too.
My sweet nephew Easton looks SO big, but he's only in his terrible 2s. He's not too terrible though. I love his hugs!
I can't believe my other nephew is already 9 months! Tanner the chicks do dig you buddy.
So happy my siblings got to meet Silas finally. Allie and Sarah met him later, but it was great to have the family together again.
It meant so very much to have my grandma, Jaj, here. Silas literally smiled at her every time she talked to him. He loves her just like I do.
Jaj I miss and love you so very much. I wish we lived closer, but I thank God for you and the amazing testimony you are to all who meet you. There's no one quite like you Jaj. Hope you have a great birthday!

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
