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 =)

Gage is such a great kid. We are truly blessed with the best kid out there.

1 Years Old

Gage is growing up to be so handsome and so fun.  We just LOVE this guy so much!! At his 12 month check up he weighed 16lb 4oz. He got sick and lost a lot of weight. He loves to eat grapes, he has started to walk but mainly runs everywhere, has 4 teeth all on top, waves at people but mainly his mom and dad, he started going to a new daycare and made a friend who he babbles with all day long, he likes to go outside and play with bubbles, ticklish, goes to bed easy, claps his hands, LOVES being outside, and also went to his first rodeo and seemed really interested in it. He loves his dogs and tries to give them hugs but only Jaxsen allows this to happen. 

He got a hold of my phone and took a bunch of selfies =)

Our first Mother's day.  He looked so handsome!

Gage is so full of life.  He might be small but he has so much personality to make up for it.

Happy Birthday!!

Gage turned 1!! I can't believe it.  This handsome little man is growing up so fast.  We started his day off in his special birthday outfit and a nice selfie =)  He was so happy. He did whatever he wanted to do which he does anyway =) I got to have the day off with him and we just hung out. Kyle had to work but was home later for cake and gifts.  Before Kyle came home Gage and I went to Relay For Life and walked around the track.  He had a good time because his friend Sophie (Kellie's daughter) came and walked around the track with us too.

Gage got to have his birthday cake and did a pretty good job eating it and making a mess.  

How old are you Gage???

After having his cake of course he had a bath and enjoyed that too.

After his bath he got to open gifts.  He got a football, basketball, bath toys and a bouncy ball. 

Gage loved his balloons. He pulled them around the house all day.  We kept Gage up a little late on his birthday so Kyle could hang out with him and I think Gage loved that.  He had a great birthday and we are looking forward to many more.

A couple days after Gage's birthday all of his grandparents came over and spoiled him rotten.  He got a toy dog and telephone he can pull around the house, clothes, books, and a toy that pops up and he can close the lid.  We had cake and enjoyed watching him play with his toys.  His Bleazard grandparents even got to stay a few days and watch him while I had to work.  He had a great time playing with his grandparents and playing the Ipad. His sister Bayli also got him a tool set that he loves.
