There's no place like home...

Well, our marathon road trips have come to an end and we are glad to be home. Don't get me wrong, we have LOVED getting away, but three weekends in a row has left us tired and ready to stay put for a while.

This past weekend we went down to Ocala to visit Brad, Christi, Carson and Sydney. The guys went fishing on Saturday while the ladies stayed at home with the kiddos (minus Carson). We went to Sydney's soccer game, played in the pool and just spent some good quality time together. We had a blast. Here are some pictures from this weekend.
Griffin's first dip in the pool...

Don't worry, Blake is near by

Bennett eats Froot Loops and watches cartoons... doesn't happen often and you can see why :)

The little cutie pies!

Carson "picks his nose"

Also, Griffin turned 7 months old this past week. I can't believe how big he is getting!

His new trick is to pull up on your fingers and stand forever. He loves it! He has pulled to standing on a toy, a basket and my pant legs but still has to be led to do it. He hasn't tried anything unless one of us is right next to him. He's still pretty wobbly on his feet, but I imagine before too long that he will be trying to walk.

He is drooling like crazy even though there is no sign of a tooth just yet. Last week I could have sworn I saw something in there, but it must have been a bubble or something because I couldn't find it again when Blake got home.

He is taking three pretty good naps a day now. But he still isn't sleeping all the way through the night. I think that I am just going to have to let him cry it out a couple of times. I don't know if I can bring myself to do it though. It's just kinda frustrating to go in there and find him crying with his eyes closed. He usually passes back out when I give him his pacifier, but I can't do that forever...

He is just precious and Blake and I can't get enough of him. Here are this months pictures. Go back and take a look at each month to compare. It's really amazing how much a kid can grow in a month.
