July

The month of July has completely flown by. Rhodes turned 11 months old a few days ago and has started cutting his first tooth. It looks like it could show itself at any moment. Teething has caused him to sleep a lot more lately along with chewing on everything. Our little ham is crawling, pulling up, and trying to walk. He is tons of fun with a BIG personality!

Sitting in his new room, watching us put his clothes away. He loves to have his picture taken if you can't tell from the following pictures.

the nose crinkle is a new thing that he has just started

playing with all of his toys while daddy cooks dinner

Such the big helper with unpacking all the boxes.

Rhodes has discovered a new place to play......under the dining room table. He loves climbing under and over the rungs of the chairs and also pulling up on them.

We enjoyed a fun night out with Drew's parents. Wicked is one of our favorites so it was a lot of fun to spend an evening out together.

4th of July

We spent the day being very lazy. After returning from camp the night before we had lots to do around the house, mainly laundry. It was a rainy day so we took a few pictures of Rhodes in his First 4th of July outfit and Drew cooked out burgers.

New Food!!! actually he probably won't get many of these after we realized how messy they really are. They are teething biscuits that are super messy, Drew had to get a towel for him to sit on so it wouldn't get all over the carpet.

Beach Week 09

We just spent an AMAZING week at the beach with our church and two other churches. It was incredible to watch the Lord move in the lives of students and change their eternities.

Rhodes was not a huge fan of the sand so most of his time was spent in the pool or sleeping. This was his very first time at the beach and at camp. He was a trooper with the late hours and early mornings but definitely worked in many naps along the way.

Such a sweet smile the last night at the beach.

Rhodes with the Cole kids.....it was very difficult to get a picture with them all looking at the camera. This was the best one.

Asleep in Kat's arms during one of the morning sessions. He took naps everywhere.
