First KSU Game

Hobbs went to his first KSU game yesterday and loved it! He really is a true Wildcat! :) He probably won't go to many more games this year-Mommy & Daddy would like to watch the game a little more than we got to yesterday, but next year might be a little easier! He really did a good job and it was a lot of fun! :) Here is a video of McKenna and Hobbs playing with (and fighting over) Grampy's hat. Poor McKenna-she puts up with a lot from Hobbsy! :) Her face at the end says it all!

KSU Game

Deja Vu...

Last year we took a picture of McKenna sitting on my very pregnant tummy at the first K-State football game. We just had to do the same with Hobbs and Christy this year! :)

Happy Birthday Uncle Duke! :)

Hobbs wanted to tell Uncle Duke "Happy Birthday!" and since we won't see him until next week, this will have to do! He got a little sidetracked with his new shoes, but he definitely sends birthday wishes your way Uncle Dukey!!!!

Hobbs's New Shoes

I bought Hobbs his first pair of shoes today. His feet have been and are still so chubby and shoes just haven't fit! :) He didn't quite know what to think of the shoes, but he sure thought he was hot stuff in them. :)

Give Me That!

I was trying to get Hobbs to talk for the camera (he has just figured out how to say his "L"'s and constantly sounds like he's yodelling and saying "ollie ollie ollie..."). Of course he stopped jabbering when I turned the camera on. Hobbs always wants the camera when we're using it...I let him get it tonight. :) He never fails to crack us up! (Don't worry-the camera is okay.)

Watch Out Kitty!

Hosie had better watch out! All Hobbsy wants to do though is pet her! :)

Tub Fun

One of Hobbs's favorite rooms in the house is the bathroom. He loves to crawl in, stand at the edge of the tub, and knock over the shampoo bottles and anything else on the side. We decided we needed some pictures of one of his favorite past times...silly guy!

Hmmm, I wonder how those got in there...

Don't worry Mommy, I'll find the culprit!

Meeting Great Grandma Vallie

Before today, Hobbs had met 3 out of his 4 great grandmas. Today, finally, he got to meet his Great Grandma Vallie. She was so happy to see him. She usually drifts in and out of sleep while visiting, but she was wide awake the whole time we were there. Some baby sure must be special! :) In the picture there are 4 generations, Hobbs, Daddy, Grampy, and Great Grandma Vallie.

10 Months Old!

Hobbs is 10 months old today! It's so hard to believe that in 2 months we will be throwing a birthday party for our little guy! We made it through our first week of school-meetings, workdays, and then days with kids. It sure is a lot harder this year than any other year! We both love our jobs, but it's really hard to leave Hobbs knowing how much fun he is! We'll get a picture on the site asap! :)

Fun with Daddy

Hobbs was in a much better mood today after being at the babysitter's all day. He and Daddy were having some fun outside since the weather is so nice today!

Back to School

Well, Brandt and I officially started back to work last Friday. It's crazy how quickly the summer flies by, but it always does. Hobbs has been going to daycare Monday mornings all throughout the summer so he wouldn't be afraid to go back. Not only was he happy to go on Friday morning, smiling at the kids and Mishelle (our daycare provider), but he didn't want to leave when I went to pick him up Friday afternoon! They were all having fun playing outside and he cried when I took him from Mishelle and walked away from her to the car. It's good that he likes it there so much, but it made me sad too! He was back to being clingy to Mommy & Daddy though this weekend and only took a 30 minute nap today to show us just how much he loves us and wants to be with us! We would've liked some more napping today, but it's also fun to be able to spend our time with Mister.

Dancing

Hobbs has figured out how to turn the stereo on and he was showing off his dance moves for us tonight. I think he saw his little friend Emma shaking her booty and he wanted to show off his own mad skills! :) We didn't get his best performances on video, but these 2 were pretty cute!

So Proud of Himself

Hobbs is always so proud of himself when he stands up. It's always so cute to see him after a nap, because he is standing there waiting for someone to come get him. :) He wasn't taking naps for a couple of days (AAUUGGGGHHHH!!!!) but he finally has started to take them again. He's such a silly boy!

Summer Fun

Hobbs's Weekend

Hobbs had a fun weekend with Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Lyndsay. They came up since Brandt & I start school this Friday. :( They played a lot and brought a fun new toy for him to play with. He loves his new fire truck...thanks!! :)

Hobbs is crawling everywhere and pulling up to standing position all the time. Unfortunately he hasn't quite mastered how to sit back down gently and has had a few bonks to his head. He's constantly moving and hasn't been going to sleep as well because he wants to crawl around his crib and stand up all the time. He's so proud of himself. :) He seems to be teething again and has been really cranky the past few days too-not fun.

It's been such a fun summer and has gone so quickly...it sure will be hard to leave our little boy again every day. I'm sure he's ready to go back though since he really likes watching the other kids and playing with them at daycare. We got out of Concordia today and finally took Hobbs to the most wonderful place on earth-yes, of course I am talking about Manhattan, KS!!!! It's ridiculous that it took us 9 months to get there...come football season we will be there lots more though! :) Also, I have updated his Kodak Gallery site, and plan to keep doing that...I just haven't for a little while.

Hobbs & His Hat

Daddy got Hobbs a baseball hat like his high school players wear. Hobbs isn't quite sure what to think about it, but he sure looks good in it! :)

Just Chillin'

So Excited!
