The Hardings: September 2014

Family Reunion

Bleazard Reunion 2014

We were able to get together again up Huntington Canyon this year and as always we had a great time. We missed having Brian and his family the whole time but we were really glad they came up when they did. It rained on us which helped cool us down. The kids all had a great time and got to play cards with the adults which made the kids very happy. Gage had a great time playing with Cameron's trucks and pretty much played by himself. He had a blast getting dirty and being outside.

Gage was really good to play by himself and I took this picture of him behind my parents trailer playing with one of the trucks.

Once everyone in my family was up there on the mountain we put Gage's special shirt on and announced to everyone that Gage will no longer be an only child. I had told my mom and sister before so they helped make sure everyone knew and understood the shirt. Gage's shirt said Only Child Gage Expires Jan 2015.

Family picture time =)

Gage and his cousin Josh. They played so well together. I sure hope they are good friends as they grow up together.

As always we had great food, yummy treats, good weather, fun stories, and fun watching the kids play together. The time always goes by too fast. Until next year.......

4th of July

This handsome devil looked so good in his flag onsie that I made. He was very patriotic and so good during the parade. The fire engines didn't scare him and he wanted to see and take everything in. After the parade we went to the park and had lunch. It was fun to see the community out supporting everything.

When it was finally dark we went and watched the fireworks. We sat in the back of the truck in our chairs and Gage loved watching the fireworks. He would sit there quietly watching. If anything got in his way of seeing he would try to move it and then lay back down. We had a great 4th of July.

Baby Harding #2

We are doing it again! We are so excited and I was a little surprised =) Baby Harding #2 will be here in January and that will be here sooner than we know it. We found out in June we were having another baby and waited to tell people again to make sure everything was going good.

I tried to get good pictures of Gage wearing his cute shirt but he wasn't having any of it. I'm sure he will feel the same way when we bring baby #2 home too =)

13 Months

This handsome goofball is so much fun. He just oozes so much personality. We love watching him grow and learn new things. Since he was sick last month we took him back into the doctor to make sure he was back to gaining weight. He weighed 17 pounds and 12 ounces. Is 29 inches long. He still isn't very big. That put him at .4% in weight and 13% for height. He drank milk for a few weeks but stopped and refuses to drink it anymore. He loves to go up and down the stairs but needs help doing that, has 4 teeth, and sleeps through the night (WAHOO!) He absolutely loves his new daycare and just jabbers the whole time when we come home. He does really well at church by entertaining himself and staying quiet =) He is usually found in his room going through his books which makes me so proud that he loves to look at them. He sits there and tells stories and I can't wait for those "words" to become real words.

His first rodeo! He loved it and did really well. He was interested in what was going on and liked to watch the clown. He stayed up for the entire rodeo and thankfully fell asleep on the way home.

This kid just LOVES his grapes. Doesn't matter the color he can eat a ton of them. When he sees them in the grocery cart I have a hard time making it to the register with half a bag =)
