Standing tall

Rigley is pulling up and standing much more now. He does it even with his brace on, but its hard from him to get close enough to pull up on something with it on. He has mastered pulling up without it on!

Brighton Nelson, Personal Trainer

Brighton is quite the trainer! Here he is demonstrating a wonderful circuit including a reverse fly, jumping jacks, planks, and more!

We can't forget the bicep curls!

I guess he really does pay attention during Stroller Strides. He'll be guest instructing for me in no time!

Bad day at the park!

We thought it would be nice to take the boys to a new park today.


However, it turned out to be a poor choice. It was very hot and sunny and the park didn't have any shade. We decided quickly to go to our usual park, which is shady.

Brighton was not happy with the idea of leaving the new park where we had just arrived.

A Day of Firsts at SDC

This trip to Silver Dollar City held Brighton's first train ride! Rigley had ridden on the train when he was just itty bitty last summer, but Brighton wouldn't actually ride. He likes trains, but was quite apprehensive of riding it. However, this time Brighton decided he would go. He enjoyed the ride and I think we will be doing it again.

Of course, no visit to SDC is complete without a trip to the ball room and toddler area at Geyser Gulch.

We decided that Rigley is big enough now to play, too! This was Rigley's first time being allowed to get down and play in the balls...

And ride the bouncers in the toddler area

Seeing family

Sadly, my Uncle Gary passed away. So, that meant a trip to Iowa for the funeral. The happy thing about the funeral was getting to see family that we had not seen for a while. My sister, Ramona, flew in from Seattle. It was great to see her as Rigley was just about a month old last time she was back.

After the funeral, we drove back to MO. Here are a few pictures from our lunch in Albany.

The boys with a few of their cousins. Lily is the only Wilson girl there because Abbey & Gracie were at school.

Feeding himself

Rigley has decided that being fed with a spoon by Mommy is for babies! He likes to feed himself now. Here he is eating pancakes for breakfast.
