and we're back!

So I started this blog a few months ago, but never told anyone about it nor kept it updated for that matter, so here we go again!

The last update we had on Naylor's page was from Mother's Day. As you may remember, his website has reached it's capacity and with Baby Girl on the way, this seems like a more fair way to document Higgins' life...

A quick look back over the summer, just hitting the highlights!

• June 6, 2009: felt Baby Higgins 2.0 kick for the first time around 1am!
• June 19, 2009: Naylor's 9 month birthday and his first tooth cut through (on the bottom).
• June 21, 2009: Naylor begins saying da-da / ba-ba / ga-ga and on his first Father's Day - not that he associates it with Brian just yet.
• June 25, 2009: Naylor flew for the first time (with Mama and Daddy of course) to Minnesota - he did great and flirted with all of the other passengers.
• Mid-June 2009: Naylor starts army crawling all over the place, but not on all fours just yet - I think the hardwood floors may hurt his knees...
• July 1, 2009: Found out that Baby Higgins 2.0 is a little GIRL! We didn't want to know, but asked the nurse to write it down just in case... when she looked to find out, we saw and it was way different than Naylor's ultrasound!
• Mid-July 2009: Naylor's knees have toughened up and he's crawling on all four's all over the place... time to baby proof!
• Late-July 2009: Naylor is continuing to crawl as well as pulling up now.
• August 3, 2009: We're pacifier free - he gave it up without much hesitation at all.
• August 8, 2009: Naylor pulls up on the coffee table and walks around it while holding on - he's officially 'cruising' the house!
• August 9, 2009: Went to the doctor and officially has his first ear infection - boo. He has been sick all week and we finally broke down for a dr. visit. However, he's been really sick and without a pacifier a single time - I think we're more than officially over it!
• August 22, 2009: We're now bottle free! He's drinking all of his milk exclusively from sippy cups now - he's such a big boy and we're so proud of him.
• August 30, 2009: Stood up by himself without holding on to anything... not sure he realized what he was doing, but it did happen. He hasn't done that since though, but it's a step in the right direction.

We're less than a month from Naylor's first birthday and less than 3 months until Baby Girl's arrival - stay tuned for more updates!
