8 Months, Coxsackie and Weddings!

Wowsa, 8 months old already.

I thought those first two months would never end and ever since then time has been a flying.  He is just about the happiest baby I have ever seen (contrary to Nana and Granddudes opinion of you and your constant crying!)   Mino is sitting up as if it is no big deal, he can reach forward to grab things and pull himself back up, he has just mastered the skill of leaning forward onto his stomach, getting those pudgy little legs out from underneath him so he is on his tummy then can roll over.  Still not moving forward, whew.

 It amazes me how Min can do something new every day, like get his first fever!  This morning (and probably yesterday actually, I am a bad mom and didn't recognize that all that heat he was emitting was a fever. . .) I took a temp and Wee little Min had a temp in his pit of 101.  Considering he has had everything under the sun and never gotten above 97.8 we decided a trip to the doctor was in order.  Lo and behold the amazing Foot Mouth and Hand disease has gotten the best of him. . .

Aside from all that excitement Min went to his first wedding this weekend, it was going to be weddings but one reception was not baby friendly so we got his first babysitter. . .Brittany!!

That was probably more traumatic for her than it was for us as he choked on a piece of cereal and she had to use the anti choking skillz that she learned in her babysitting courses.  The look on his face pretty much sums up his attitude for the evening I think.

We visited Jodi who was having an 8th birthday bash for Braiden:

We set up the signage in Clintonville so the whole town knew who was getting married:

And we set off on our adventures.  Auntie Lisa FINALLY said her I do's this weekend and she looked amazing.  Auntie Sarah was a bridesmaid and was quite happy about it.

Mino wanted to be sure he got pictures with both lovely ladies.

We also had to step up Min to a new carseat.  His little eggshell was getting to be too much work and his feet were hanging over the sides so we got one that is good until 65 lbs.

And obviously from the above pictures Sarah and Aaron and Gryff were in town so we got to visit with them, they were pretty tied up with wedding adventures so I did not capture a good one of all of them with Mino but I got a good one of all of them. . .

Min wasn't at this wedding, but congrats to Dr. Karen and Ted who provided Martin and I the most fun we have ever had in Hortonville!!

And in closing, a cute Mino picture!  He is starting to look like a little toddler now sometimes, which blows my mind away. . .
