Lana is 8 Months

This little lady is 8 months now! The big news for her at this stage is her rapidly expanding diet of solid foods and that she's pulling up on things. Her eyes color now is brownish in the middle and blueish on the edges. I guess I call it gray? She is a very curious and doesn't seem to have the same sense of caution that her brother had as a baby. She has been sleeping in her crib for a couple of weeks instead of the pack 'n play in Mom and Dad's room. She and Clark share a room and some days they stay up late giggling back and forth. She is very much a mama's girl still but always has a smile for her daddy. She likes to listen to music and sings to the radio in the car. Though she likes to practice standing she still will not sit by herself. Crazy lady! I am loving this stage of motherhood with my two little babies!

Galveston Evening

We went to Galveston this afternoon/evening with our cousins and chose to play at a beach along the seawall. We splashed in waves and got covered in sand then had a picnic dinner. Lana and Clark both enjoyed the water, but Clark especially enjoyed the sand. Steve especially enjoyed driving us there. ha ha.
I've never been much of a beach person but it seems to be growing on me. I could, however, do without the sand that seems to find its way into everything.

Road Trip to Dallas

We took a road trip to Dallas over the weekend to meet our newest adorable baby cousin, Elliott, and attend his blessing. Along the way we stopped at the Sam Houston statue for a picnic, caterpillar meet and greet, and a quick picture with the statue. Also en route to Dallas, Steve and I enjoyed our first TX Burgers. 

We had a great time in Dallas, despite the piping hot temps. Clark and his cousins all had fun together and got along so well. I'm so glad got to spend our weekend in such good company.
