This August Brad was the happiest guy ever because he got to go the Avenged Sevenfold concert. He is such a rocker at heart! Jefferson slept over at Dixie's so we were able to have a weekend free to post celebrate our anniversary. We went to the concert and saw the new Planet of the Apes movie and had a tapas dinner party with our friends. It was so nice to be childless for a weekend and Jefferson had a great time with Dixie.
Jefferson picked our first green pepper and we have had fun picking and eating our garden veggies. We have too many tomatoes (once again) despite planting only three tomato plants and have been having fun delivering produce to our neighbors and friends! And we are super proud of our gnome helping our flower pot grow from the seeds we planted. Jefferson is so observant of the gnome and makes sure he says hi to the gnome and bye to the gnome and that we give the gnome water.
At this point in the summer everyone is a bit warn out from the sunny days and the usual activities so we have had to be creative with our time- like making a crib a bounce house for a car, and making box cars and playing red light-green light, and learning how to play chess (not checkers- Brad corrects us every time) with dada. And of course our favorite past time of waiting for the moon on our deck. Like the rest of the world we were able to see the partial eclipse and it was super cool.
Jefferson is climbing and jumping off of everything now- still careful but a lot more adventurous. He loves to help us do everything including cooking and cleaning- he really loves helping mama clean bathrooms! His new phrase is "wait wait wait..." and then some correction- I wonder where he gets that from. And his other new phrase is "(sigh) fine..." We thought it would be a good idea to introduce him to the potty but he was more interested in using the step stool to wash his hands- hmm maybe next month.
