Pool time with daddy

Wow, we have had quite a busy summer-We went to Hawaii in July which was fun and have been busy the rest of the summer working on the house. The baby will be here at the beginning of November so we are trying to get everything done before then. Duke has been swimming in the pool everyday and is doing awesome, he is quite the little swimmner. With the weather being colder then normal we have not been to the beach much but have been really enjoying our pool. Duke is taking a few steps and standing well but is not walking yet, lets just hope he starts before #2 arrives. He is also talking up a storm but most the time we are not quite sure what he is saying. Here are some pictures from this summer adventures.

Duke's 1st Birthday

Duke is 1, it is hard to believe that a year has already gone. We had a great time at his birthday and I think Duke really enjoyed himself and love his cake. At his 1 year visit he was 27 pounds and 31 inches, so he has gained 19 pounds and grown 10 inches in a year, quite impressive. He is a happy baby and is standing, clapping, waving, walking with help, shaking his head no (his favorite), saying mama, dada, and a variety of other things I don't understand. He is very active, curious and wants to explore everything he can. We leave in 2 weeks for Hawaii and can't wait to see what Duke thinks of it.
Here are some pictures from the party and the past few months.

More Teeth and First Hair Cut

Right before the cut....

Duke likes this pirate...

She even put a little "product" in his hair-so cute!

What ya doing to me lady? haha

He enjoyed being in the little rocket ship.

Easter at our placeMy very own chair that is just my size

Uncle John made Duke this adorable chair and it even has his name on it-so cute! It is like he knew it belonged to him from the start.My happy this man!

Well Duke now has teeth 5 and 6 that came in next to his top two. Pretty soon he is going to have a full mouth of them. He also got his first hair cut, I think it was harder on me then him, he is getting so grown up. He did awesome and did not cry or fuss, he was an old pro. I am starting to think about his 1st birthday which is only about month and half away-wow! So that will be fun to plan. He is still standing and pushing chairs around so it is only a matter until he is walking-watch out!

Baby #2 is due on November 10th and we can't wait to find out if we will be having another boy or a girl this time. We should be able to find out in about a month. Whatever we have we just hope he/she is healthy and it will be fun for Duke to have a sibling so close in age.

Almost 10 months-Time is flying!

I love my scooter..

This is what happens when I eat pasta! haha

Look how good I am on this bike..

Duke is now only on finger foods, he loves to feed himself.

Life has been busy and fun since we moved into the new house. Lots of projects going on and Duke is changing everyday. He is standing now for several seconds before he falls, he crawls everywhere and is really fast, he pushes chairs and is into everything! Here are some pictures from the past month.
