Breven is still not walking on his own. He thinks that he needs to hold onto your fingers while he walks not realizing that we are not even helping him. He went in for his 12 month check up and was 20lbs 10oz and 29.75 inches long. So he is still long and skinny as usual. He will have another check up at 15 months.
Matt has been keeping busy with work and helping me with some big projects around the house. We have been working on painting the house, installing a dishwasher, and cleaning the barn and garage. I think that he is just as ready as I am for this pregnancy to be over lol!
This post is picture heavy ... enjoy!
July 11th our really good friends Josh and Lisa got married. It was a beautiful wedding and a beautiful day!
the first dance
Breven crashed when the night was young
We have been working on using a spoon. He was enjoying his bowl of oatmeal and used his fingers for most of it.
Yum!
that's enough of the spoon thing
fingers work much better!
so cute!
lounging before bedtime
Towards the end of July we went on our annual camping trip to Namekagon. We had SO much fun! Our tent worked perfectly as a screened in play yard for Breven.
He loved being in the river!
There's nothing like the great outdoors. He loves to be outside.
Making some Juicy Lucy's for the crew... yummy!
He had a lot of fun crawling all around in the tent.
Breven woke up nice and early. The camera was foggy because it was pretty chilly out, but he was happy as could be!
having spaghetti o's for the first time! I love the one that is perched right on his nose.
The first weekend in August was my family reunion in Bemidji. It was kind of a bummer because Matt had to stay home with the dogs, but we had a good time. I love hanging out with family! Here's Great Grandma and Cousin Cole

Series of pictures of Breven climbing into his box
and out...
He played too hard with Dad and couldn't stay awake any longer
Breven has been into matching colors. He started off with the yellow block, then proceeded to pull out only yellow legos. Matt and I just watched him amazed that he knew how to do that. Such a smart boy!
Getting ready to dig into a spaghetti dinner
I love this face! I wonder what was going through his head to make this face lol
then it was bath time...
he loves to crawl all over Daddy!
I'll just lay my head right here
We went to Grandpa Mark's house to "help" with the pole barn
He loved driving his cars on the HUGE open concrete
After Grandpa Mark's we headed to Great Grandma and Grandpa's for Grandma's birthday. Uncle Eddie let him play with the tomatoes!
Eddie brought him down to the apple trees. Breven picked two apples and brought them inside. He thought they were balls until he chewed on one and realized he could eat it. There was NO stopping him after that! So funny! We all just sat there and laughed...
Mom... this is seriously the BEST ball ever!!!
He couldn't eat them fast enough!
Breven this morning using his rocket ship to try to climb onto the entertainment center.
