Some of our bestest friends came into town for a little bit. It was so much fun to see them!
We even got a night out on the town with no babies! Their son Taevin had a lot of fun with Peja, or maybe the other way around. Regardless, it was a great time!

There has been a drought of picture posting - sorry GG. Here are a couple of posts to delight...

Peja likes to show Nia how to crawl. "Come on Nia"

He is learning how to smile for the camera and it is the cutest thing in the world!

This is the life...

Peja has learned how to copy hand gestures...especially wave

Peja is nine months old and just keeps getting cuter. I remember crying when he was about a month old because I was so sad that he would grow up and not be as precious as he was just that second. The interesting thing is that it just keeps getting better! I wonder when the cuteness curve finally peaks and starts descending. Maybe it just makes a drastic fall off when they hit teenagerhood. Anyway, he has learned how to give big open mouthed kisses. They are so funny. He will only do it like 10% of the time though. The rest of the time he just stiff-arms us. Here is a post-bath one that I caught on camera.

This picture is from the day that Peja CRAWLED OFF THE BED! He was taking a nap and he woke up and crawled off of our very high bed onto a basket. I came home from running a quick errand and my mom said "no more having him sleep on the bed." She had found him sitting on the floor screaming. So I was traumatized, but he seemed to be fine. There were some red marks on his face and shoulder and a little cut on his nose. I don't know if you can see any of those things - mainly his cute smile and big forehead take over the picture. In general I am pretty relaxed about most things like little bumps on the head and germs and stuff, but this was scary.
