Diaper Derby Champion!!!

We entered Shane in the Diaper Derby at the Sonoma County Fair this weekend and he WON! There were two rounds with a total of about 30 babies. Shane's friend baby Lulu was in the first round and came soo close to winning! After seeing the first round, we never would have guessed that Shane would win. A couple of the babies were really fast! After his round started he was just sitting there watching the other babies crawl away, but he ended up being the only baby to follow through and get to the edge of the tarp. We were so proud of our little baby Shane! They declared the first ever tie between two babies, but we know that Shane was the true winner...the other baby may have been faster, but Shane was the only one that went straight off to Daddy!

There are three videos below...the first is the Round 2 race that Shane won, the second is where he raced against the winner of the first round, and the last is where they announce the winner. We get to have our picture in next years Fair announcement and Shane gets a $25 savings bond. It was all very exciting!!

This is one of my favorite pictures...Daddy was so proud of his boy!

Busy weekend!

We had a great time this weekend! Shane and I went to the river with our new neighbors, Chris and Tony, for a BBQ at their old house. Shane was a very good boy and is becoming a little piggy! He ate lots of fresh fruit (blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, white & yellow nectarines) and even BBQ chicken! Here are some cute pics of his messy face.

Messy face!

Mmmmm, BBQ chicken!


On Sunday, Ryan and I took Shane to Howarth Park for the first time. There is lots to see and do there and he just LOVED it! We fed the geese, introduced him to some horses and went on the train ride. Next time we will try the carousel and the big playground.

Nice horsie!


Chugga, chugga, CHOO CHOO!

FIRST STEPS!!!!!!

9 months and 5 days old and here is Shane taking his first steps! It's so exciting, but scary at the same time! My little boy is growing up so fast. He had a runny nose and only napped for just under 2 hours all day today...yet he still manages to amaze me by taking his first steps. He took the first 7 before I could call Ryan and get the camera...so technically the video you are about to see are his second steps, but it's still amazing : )

4th of July

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!
We went over to Jackie and Del's house and BBQ'd.
I was wondering how Shane would handle all the noise and excitement,
but he slept right through it! He did really well the whole day.
He loves going to Aunt Jackie's because he gets to play with her doggies!
Here are a few pics from the 4th...
