August

The month of August was very interesting.  We managed to take a day vacation for our anniversary on August 9th.  We went for a drive along the Nebo Loop with the kids though we miscalculated the amount of time our scenic route would take.  We had to rush the last bit of it but managed to get some nice pictures.  James was great but didn't like stopping, getting out of the car every few minutes and then being forced to get back into his car seat.  Next time we'll pack a lunch and take our time maybe in the next few weeks when the leaves start to turn.

Karen is the smart one, she grabbed her hat.  I like blinding people with my head.

Nice photo bomb Karen!

James is done with pictures...

We dropped the kids off at Karen's sister later in the day and went on an afternoon date.  We grabbed lunch at PF Changs (gluten free all the way for Karen) and then ducked over for a movie (Guardians of the Galaxy) which we agreed was better than we thought it was going to be.  Groot totally stole the show.  While waiting for the movie to start we headed over to a nearby shop and grabbed a new music CD to listen to on the way home.

It was a great day since, thanks to Karen's sister, we were able to spend some time together and enjoy each other's company without worrying about shopping or rushing to a doctor appointment.

Rebecca decided it was nap time instead of tummy time.

I will find the comparison picture and post it so you can see how much Becca has grown.

At the end of August, Rebecca had her 6 month checkup.  She is 24.25 inches and 12lbs 7.5oz.  With her adjusted age of 4 months she has caught up to most of her peers on length but is on the low side for weight.  It looks like she is taking after Karen instead of me which I think is a very good thing.
