july brain dump

ok so that is a weird title.  i always see other blogs with titles of 'phone photo dump' and whatnot and i figured that is the best way to describe this particular entry.  i don't know how july has already come and gone. 

after our fun trip for july 4th and our sweet time celebrating elijah's birthday things started to get a little dramatic around here.  i signed up to help with vacation bible school at our church and signed colin up to participate as he was finally old enough.   it did not go as planned and we ended the first night with a trip to the ER and colin came home with 2 staples in his head.  very dramatic.  this was the first serious injury for this family and it was traumatic.  at least for me it was - colin still thinks it was cool that he had staples in his head.  he is such a boy and will talk about blood and brains and poop all day long.  this is not the best picture but it totally grossed me out so i didn't want to spend too much time looking at it.  anyway - he had the staples in for a week and then didn't even notice when the doctor took them out.  he was way too busy watching kung fu panda on uncle doug's iphone to notice.  when i told him we were done all  he cared about was going to 'chik-a-lay' for a treat.

we had an impromptu playdate with elijah and uncle michael too.  colin thought it was the coolest thing ever that they came to his school to see him and then we all went to chick-fil-a for brother's favorite food. 

davis has decided he is tired of being a baby and wants to be able to get around like his big brother.  he hasn't quite figured it out yet and he lets us know when he is frustrated.  he is still pretty happy and smiley about 95% of the time.  his favorite activity is watching colin run around like a crazy person.  big brother can make him laugh from the bottom of his belly - it is the funniest and sweetest thing.

and davis is still a BIG fan of pulling hair.  look at the smile on his face when he sees colin's head full of hair just waiting to be pulled.  :)

colin has started picking out his own clothes and dressing himself.  most days i really love it.  if it were up to him he would wear his cowboy boot every day of his life.

mostly these little boys have just had so much fun playing together.  colin is still so sweet to davis and keeps talking about how he is so excited for him to walk and talk so they can play some more.  i love seeing them interact together and am so happy to see them loving on eachother.
