He's getting better about pushing up with his arms (he can do better than this!)
Everything in the mouth!
Going bald at 5 months
Big smile!
Likes the swing!
Rolls over both ways
Loves his big brother!

Ike-ation
As Ike approached, we stocked the house with water, canned food, and canned formula. We also brought in all the potential projectiles from outside...
Looks like we are moving out!
Heavier objects off to the side
Work was closed Thursday afternoon and Friday to give us time to prepare. We went to bed Friday night at 9:30 after the cable went out. We awoke at 1:00am to the sound of howling winds and blowing rain. Daddy stayed up surfing the web for news reports until the power went out at 3:45. When we all woke up around 7:30, we could see we were lucky. The power was out, water pressure was low, but our house was in good shape.
Front view of the yard
Big limb inches from the front window
Tree down near Grandmama's house
We stuck it out all day Saturday cleaning up the yard and making sure our food stayed fresh. Our neighbors two streets over still had power so we went over for dinner and a 'clean out the fridge' party. Sleep that night was difficult with temperatures in the low 80s and high humidity. We decided on Sunday to head to New Braunfels to The Other Place for a mini vacation. Grandmama graciously agreed to watch Eddie in our absence.
We had a very comfortable two bedroom cabin with A/C and internet access so all was well. Wesley got to have his first 'toobing' experience, though with a life jacket.
Our place of refuge
Wesley playing with his 'baby bulldozer' on the Comal River
Splashing in the baby pool
Scooping up water
Heading off on his first float with Daddy
Floating with Mama
Floating along...
Heading to the toob exit
Time for a picnic by the river
Hot dogs!
Jack would rather eat his fingers!
Mmm...
We headed back to Houston on Wednesday to what we assumed would be a powerless house, but were surprised to see that we had power! Hooray for Centerpoint Energy!
We are survivors!!

Four Months Old!
Jackson Davis is four months old!
Brothers!
In addition, Jack had his first 'solid' food today...
He seemed to like it, but we'll see. It was exciting, but was a big reminder of what fun spoon feeding is!!!

Excursion with Daddy
Wesley and I had a big excursion today to Hermann Park and the Children's Museum!
It was a nice (but hot) day and we both had a great time.
Wesley is ready to ride the 'little red train' in Hermann Park
Nice view of the Sam Houston statue and reflecting pool from the train
This is fun!
Choo choo!
Wesley driving the 'bus' at the Children's Museum (actually a VW van). 'I'm driving to the bus stop.'
Wesley 'pretend eating tacos'.
Baby chicks!
Wesley diligently working the cash register after shopping for vegetables
Wesley getting 'pretend cow milk'. This one took a lot of explaining!
Wesley talking on the phone to Daddy. Each phone had a camera and a display. This is a picture of Wesley as seen on my display. Fun!

Baptism and more

More comb-over

Wesley and Uncle Rik had so much fun!
Jack and Nana had fun too!
I have a DVD of the baptism. I'm trying to figure out how to post it!
