August 2008

Creativity is the name of the game with Donny these days.  He has discovered that he has ears and a nose to play with.  He has also figured out the skills of crawling and walking in less than a month.  What a difference it makes in our house to have to keep looking for the adventurer to make sure he isn't into trouble.


 

Real hands and knees crawling started on his 13 month birthday.  His first steps were just two and a half weeks later.  Now he is all over the place! 
    

Another special feature of August in the Shire household was a roast dinner prepared by Andy.  Yum!

  

Also new to the Shire household this month... the news that Shireling #2 is on the way!  The picture of the watermelon with my sister-in-law (who is due in November) and me (due April 11th, 2009) was my family's idea of a funny sneak picture to take at the family get together.  I think it's funny... but I would have smiled and posed if they had asked nicely!
