Some of our September

Yep. Still with the surprised eyes. Always.

I won't lie... I have been feeling pretty lack-lustre towards blogging lately. I've felt like this past month hasn't been overly eventful for us so I haven't been very motivated to blog. But it's the end of the month, and I don't want this to be my first month of not posting since I started this thing....so here I am. I thought that I'd just be posting a few snapshots I've taken of Nixon recently but as I got looking on my computer I realized that I actually had quite a few pictures from September, and even a few from the end of August when I went down to Cardston to see my family and meet my newest nephew. Enjoy!

New cousin Max (5 days old) and Nixon (3.5 months old)

Great Grandma Betty and Nixon

We went up to Waterton for an evening to walk around, take in the beauty,
and eat dinner at Zum's. Oh - and of course we got ice cream at Big Scoop. Yum.

We got together with Nick's Mom's side of the family at the start of the month for dinner and to celebrate some family birthdays.

4 Generations of Gagnons: Nick, (Nixon's) Great Grandpa Cyrille, Nixon
and Grandma Teressa. Don't you love his little "tie" - Thanks Linds!

Olivia and her son Cairo flew out to Alberta to visit for a couple weeks, and I had SO much fun catching up with her, and just having fun hanging out. We looked at pictures and reminisced about the good old YSA days and went shopping with the kids. It's so fun that we are both married now, and have sons less than a year apart. And the good news is, her little family is moving back to Alberta next weekend!

Kay and Melvin had a bunch of family and friends over to celebrate Bennett's 1st birthday and we had so much fun visiting with everyone and eating delicious food.

Finally a picture of Nixon and I where I'm ready for the day!
(don't mind the burp rag or the typical expression on Nixon's face)

The birthday boy and his plethora of presents!

Isn't this the cutest picture of Bennett & Kay? I love it.
(Kay & Julie did and awesome job on the Alligator cake, huh)

Some might think that at 4 months, Nixon was too young for his first haircut.
I do not.

His newborn hair was so dark and long, but the hair that's growing in now is
a lot more blonde and it looked really funny. So I pulled out the clippers,
and I love how much more even it looks now.

He can stand up in this thing by himself,
just needs a pillow to help with the wobbles.

We often hear slurping noises around our house, and it's because
this little guy is slobbering all over at least one of his fingers
ALL DAY LONG. Maybe he's teething?

Yesterday as I was feeding Nixon he up and grabbed the bottle and held it.
Then he took it out of his mouth and started trying to put it back in.
You better believe I'm going to be working on getting him to master that skill!
