Major Catch Up!

So sorry for the complete lack of blogging lately. I started to get a little behind, and then the task of getting caught up started to seem so daunting!

Here's what we've been up to:

4 Months!

Back to School!

Miles's Big Day

Chompers and Grub

A Funky Hogg Wedding

I think I've brought you up to speed now...Whew!

A Funky Hogg Wedding

We had a blast celebrating Jason (Hogg) and Shannon (Funk)'s wedding this past weekend!

It was a mini-reunion of sorts with most of the Richardson High School gang in full effect.

At the Rehearsal Dinner...

Kevin, Matt, Eric, Jon, Jason, Kevin, Tim, and Casey

And at the wedding...

Tim, Eric, Casey, Jon, Kevin W., Kevin K., Trent, Matt G., Matt H., and Jason

The ladies...

Mandy, Monica, Hayley, Me, and Samantha

Dancing the Hora...so fun!

Jon claims to have "saved Jason's life." ;)

It was a beautiful wedding!!! Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Hogg!!!

Chompers and Grub

He has a tooth! It finally made its appearance about a week after his 4 month check up...Now I know where all that drool was coming from :)

He eats! We started rice cereal, and he is doing great so far. He seems to like it...although, I am not sure how much of it actually ends up in his mouth!

FEEEEEEED me!

Do I have something on my face?

What a cute little chunk :)

He looks so little in the high chair!

Caroline loves the idea of him eating food like her.

She loves to keep him entertained. Here she is "colorling" for him...

I love watching their interactions :) So cute!

Miles's Big Day

Miles got to be the star of the show at his dedication at church. We love our church and loved celelbrating this special day!!!

He looked like such a big boy all dressed up :)

The fam

Our special guy

Mimi and Papa Al with the kiddos

Minnie and Papa with the kiddos

2 funny stories...

1.) When we were taking the above family pics, Miles managed to fill his diaper. Then it leaked all over Alan AND my Dad. Ha, ha..it was hilarious (to me, not as much to them ;))

2.) Caroline has started referring to my dad as "Little Papa" and Alan as "Big Papa" Obviously, the names are accurate, and this totally cracks all of us up...she came up with it all on her own!

Back to School!

Caroline was SOOO excited to start back to school! She loves her class and loves her teachers so far...yea!

First Day of School

September 7, 2010

4 months!

Miles is 4 months old!

He is such a happy, mellow, and laid back baby. He rarely fusses, and is full of smiles for everyone :)

He is the drooliest...I mean DROOLIEST baby ever. Whole fist in the mouth, soaking wet clothes, dripping all over DROOL monster.

He loves to cheer on the Bears

So big in the exersaucer!



Smiley :)

A rare moment of seriousness ;) I am pretty sure he is wishing I would stop taking his picture.

I am so thankful for my lovey little guy!

4 month stats:

Weight: 15 lbs. 5 oz. (70th %ile)

Height: 25 3/4 in (80th %ile)

Head: 42 1/2 cm (50th %ile)

He had quite a growth spurt in the height department, he must take after his Daddy. And he obviously doesn't take after his Mommy and big sis in the BIG head department...yea for an average sized head!!

Moving...AGAIN!

Yes, that's right folks! The Erickson clan is on the move once more. This time (thankfully) it's for good...Well, at least for now ;)

We are staying in the same 'hood, just moving to a different house and we are THRILLED!!! We have been living in limbo for the past couple of years, not really sure what our next move was going to be. But now, we are committed to staying in Austin and we are putting down roots for real!

I will get pics as soon as we get settled :)

It's a Party in the USA...

We had Caroline's party at Rolly Pollies last weekend and it was SOOO much fun.

There was plenty of running, jumping, climbing, bouncing, sliding, and swinging!!!








She rarely stopped moving, but we did catch her taking a break in the foam pit ;)



Mommy and Daddy got in on the fun, too!

Listening to the rules
Goofing around

Cake and Pizza...YUM :)

Luckily the grandparents were there to take turns hanging out with the little man :) He was in good hands!




Happy 2nd Birthday, Sweet Caroline!!!!

Sweet Caroline

Where did my baby go? Caroline has blossomed into such a big girl lately. She truly is beautiful inside and out (Sorry, but I'm her Mommy so I am allowed to brag on her, right?)

I love the way she finds joy and excitement in everything.

I love the way she is always discovering something or learning something new.

I love how curious and adventurous she is. She is up for anything!

I love how social, friendly, and outgoing she is.

I love how sweet and caring she is. She always wants to be sure that everyone is happy and loves taking care of people.


I love you, Caroline!
