11 Months!

Roc is BUSY!  Lots of talking (uh oh & Dada are his favorite words), singing, dancing, crawling really FAST, standing, eating and taking up to 3 steps!

Friends!

The cutest couple!

Eli and Roc

Michelle & Ilo, Roc & Shannon

Jen, Chas, Daphne and Maggie Baki came to visit for Thanksgiving.  The kids had a great time playing together!

Little dude doesn't like getting bundled up for cold weather! 

Shopping

10 Months!

It is getting very challenging to get non-blurry photos of this kid!

Mac and cheese

Roc got his first taste of boxed Mac and cheese today.  I'm pretty sure he was in love!

In case you were wondering....

Roc was a dog for Halloween!

Bedtime rituals

Sometimes story time is party time. 

Bzzzzzzzz

It is tough when you are the cutest kid in your class!  Roc's teachers gave us an early Halloween card yesterday with this adorable photo.  Roc chose the candy corn border in honor of his Great Grandad and namesake, Robert Cornelison.  I'm pretty sure Roc and Great Grandad would have been BFF's- especially since they share the same crazy curly hair!

Bed head

Roc had exceptionally good hair this am because he SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT for the first time ever!  Yes, that means that his mom also got 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep for the first time in 9+ months.  Hooooray!!! 

Take your son to work day

This was the first weekend of the rifle deer hunt in Utah so Dad had to work.  Roc thought his Dad might need some help regulating all of the hunters in the canyons so he put on his ranger uniform and convinced mom to give him a ride to City Creek (he didn't want to get his uniform wrinkled crawling there).  I'm pretty sure his help was appreciated by all!

Excuse me ma'am, did you not see the sign that says "no bikes allowed?"

Ummmm....dad?  Why didn't you tell me it was going to be 50 deg up here??  I was only issued shorts with my uniform! 

Sometimes being a Ranger is hilarious!

Park Ranger.......Watershed Ranger.....

9 Months!

Afternoon in the park.

Roc and I took a little break in Liberty Park on our way home from school today.  We are loving the cooler fall weather!

My little bike mechanic :)

Overalls!

It has finally cooled off here- our high today is only 58 deg!- which means Roc gets to wear overalls!  

He has had a busy couple of weeks.  Granny came to visit for 8 days, he got 4 new teeth (6 total now), and was home from daycare for 5 days with a cold.   He also now pulls himself up to standing  and can walk across the living room while holding onto a push toy independently.  He is super fun!  And exhausting.... :)

Friends

We are trying really hard to make these two BFF's!  Michelle's daughter, Ilo, was *almost* born on Roc's 6 month birthday (she missed it by 8 minutes).  We love playdates with these two!

Grandad Time

His visit was short but sweet.  Can't wait to see you at Christmas!

Roc LOVES walking around, especially in the park!

8 months!

We are only 9 days late in posting this!

Roc is crawling, pulling to stand, drooling (almost as much as his Saint), and eating a ton of solid foods (carbs are his fav).  He has his lower 2 front teeth and a sweet reverse mullet.  We are hoping the hair on the back of his head starts to re-grow soon.

Grandad visits!

We just love him so much!  More photos (from our 'good' camera) to come!

Adrien and Rafa get married!

Last weekend we flew back to Charlottesville, VA to celebrate Adrien and Rafa's wedding.  It was an AMAZING weekend filled with good friends, laughter, sunshine and celebrations!

Roc keeping a close eye on the snack lady.

Bring on the party!

EARLY (aka 5 am) smiles.

Abby and I were bridesmaids, so we spent the morning of the wedding getting beautiful and spending time with the bride.  

Roc was allowed into the ladies party for meals.

Roc spent the rest of his morning/ early afternoon of the wedding day with the boys.  His day consisted of........

........mohawks..........

.......Beer tasting......

.....and swimming.

Adrien was the most beautiful bride!  (And Rafa was mighty handsome....)

There were many photos taken.

My boys were SUPER handsome!

The Rideouts cleaned up nicely.

The food was unbelievably good!

(2 lobster tails for the non-meat eaters...)

I went into a sugar coma from all the desserts.

We reunited with childhood friends.

There was lots of crazy dancing......or dancing with crazies....

And Roc slept through it all.  (Thanks for providing babysitting during your reception Adrien and Rafa!)
