Visit with Court Smith

Courtney Smith drove down to visit us this weekend and we had a wonderful time. Today we were graced with sun and 86 degrees! With the breeze, it felt awesome on the beach!

Random picts

Sorry for the major delay in uploading pictures! Here are some highlights from the last month!

Playing in his PJs!Dusk in our back yard. Gotta love the little Clemson jersey!
Lane family - we will call this one, "cinnamon toast splashing"!

We love swimming so much! Sometimes it wears us out though!

The Shannons' trip, Fourth of July weekend. Brosnan really looked up to Jack.

Brosnan sampled some raspberries and bananas. No big reaction in either direction.
Jungle gym on Daddy time.

Brosnan makes a stand!

Brosnan is growing by leaps and bounds! He can pull himself up to standing if he has something with which to brace himself. His vocal range has really expanded and he loves to talk and sing! He still doesn't crawl in the traditional sence, but he sure can get around quickly! We love this age - he is so much fun to be around!

Video updates

Brosnan is so close to crawling. He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth. In this video, he picks an arm up to move it and topples over. Pretty soon little buddy, pretty soon!

Brosnan lets out a sweet little squeal in this clip. It's at the very end so you have to 'wait for it'....

Beach day

The Blantons at the beach.

Brosnan hung out in the chair that Gummaw Sitty got for him! Teething is such a painful endeavor that AMAZINGLY the pacifier stayed in his mouth all day and didn't end up in the sand!


We are not quite sure what to think of the waves yet. They are a little scary. Brosnan ends up standing like a stork with one foot up in the air to keep the sand from covering his toes!


Both boys ended up taking naps. Who needs white noise when the waves are that close!


They boys hung out in their diapers. Mac was at the Riverside Arts Market today with his Grandmother. We look forward to going to the beach with him sometime soon!

6 months!

Brosnan got some new toys this week. This one lets him stand up and walk around.

He got an inflatable pool for the back yard. Does he take after his Aunt Amanda in the water or what!
He took his first big boy bath in the garden tub! On his six month birthday we got a picture of him with the measuring toy. He was much longer than the toy! We can't wait to go back to the doctor and see how big he is!
After a long day of playing, both Blanton boys slept soundly!
Most importantly, Brosnan got his first TWO teeth this week. Front and bottom!

We went to the pool this morning with our new float. We swam until our feet turned into prunes. Brosnan is not afraid to put his face in the water, he likes to drink it! We spent the rest of the time there with our mouths above the water! Big boy cup!
Remember how Brosnan likes to feed himself?
Hooray! So that is how he got sweet potatoes in his hair!
