Goodbye, Summer.

Well, the end has come. My Catcher and I have had a wonderful couple months, and I'm sad to see that it's over. Luckily he loves his daycare, so it hasn't been too big of an adjustment. It was actually harder for me than for him. I have a feeling that it's always going to be that way. :0( To wrap up the summer, I've compiled a list of all the wonderful memories from our summer. Enjoy!

THE AWESOME SUMMER LIST

1)We had so many wonderful zoo trips with our friends.
2)He started using a fork and spoon. Gammie worked hard to help him.

3)He is talking up a storm! Besides saying "mama" and dada," he loves saying "pow," "dojo," "papa," "ba"(which is supposed to be "ball"). Along with all of that, he is mimicking all kinds of words. It amazes us every time. Dad just taught him how to say, "Quack, quack" when he asks Catch what a duck says.

4) He figured out the difference between his bat and ball. His swing and throw continually get better. He'll be ready for the batting cages before we know it. ;0)

5) He shakes his head yes and no when we ask him a question.

6) He is obsessed with bananas! In fact, he's obsessed with fruit.

7) He got his first Happy Meal! But we're actually Wacky Pack fans - they come with bananas.

8) He blew kisses and said bye to everyone he saw.

9) He knew to give hugs to Baby Kelli. In fact, his face lights up every time he sees her. It's absolutely precious.

10) He got to have some wonderful play dates with Carter and Caroline.

11) He slept through the night in his crib! Some days he would even wake up at 8:30. The latest he slept was 10:30 and that felt kind of odd.

12) He learned how to get around the house quickly, which is a bit scarier.

13) He started climbing on the coffee table, couches, and anything else nearby. He's also learned how to get off the couch and bed, which is a bit scary too.

14)He's really started to love playing outside, especially throwing the ball to Boomer.

And so much more...

Ok, so sometimes he doesn't use the fork correctly.

Uh-oh...someone got caught.

Can you see why we get scared?!

Playing outside.

Someone saw the water, and had to play in it.

Catcheroo copying daddy.

Our lil country boy.

Catcher pose.

Lunchtime at the mall.

He enjoys trying on all of our shoes.

And he's started taking off his diapers. Not good...

And pulling the shirts out my dresser...still with no diaper

Trying on some of Daddy's baseball socks.

Stopped by the Downtown fountain after IHOP. He loves it!

What a poser.

My Boys :0)

Play time at the Sooner Mall. He was on Cloud 9 and I was freaking out with all the kids zooming past him.

The doghouse was my favorite.

Off to do some shopping!

Another fountain!

Someone spotted Baby Kelli!

Too much shopping!

hehehe...

Getting in the dogs' cages.

Maybe this would work for timeout. Just kidding! He'd probably like it!

Another thing he enjoys is crawling on top of the fireplace. He loves to make us nervous!

This smile gets me every time!

GORGEOUS!

At Texadelphia in Norman to visit Daddy for lunch.

Here's the pose again.

At Gammie's new house with Uncle Baba.

Catch saw this at the garage sale. Never used it, but suddenly now he wanted to lay in it. Go figure!

Christine's son, Tristan, gave Catch his Elmo chair. Catch loves Elmo, but every time he sits in it, Elmo shakes and laughs. Catch is not a fan yet.
