Mimi visit

My mom was here last week and boy did Hunter have a good time with her! AJ was out of town for a couple of the days so as usual she helped me out a TON. It had only been since July 4th that she saw Hunter, so about 6 weeks, but she could notice a huge change in him developmentally. He is much more engaged than he was then and of course, who can resist those big smiles! He didn't roll over while she was here but I'm sure he'll have plenty of new tricks to show off next time. :)


We nixed the rice cereal for now. He was doing a good job getting the hang of the spoon, but it wasn't making a difference in his sleep habits and it doesn't seem like his little system is just quite ready for it yet.

While Mom was here we took a trip out to the Oasis for lunch. For those of you not from Austin, the Oasis is a local restaurant out on Lake Travis which is famous for it's beautiful sunset view. We have a had a really rough summer. Yesterday we were on day 67 of triple digit days so far this year (the record is 69) and the lake levels are extremely low. It was so shocking to see how low the water was. I got home and compared to some old pics of the same view...

We need some serious rain!

Our new favorite thing to do is Skype with Mimi. We finally got it hooked up and have been able to video chat with each other several times. It is so much fun! Now we hate having to talk on the phone without seeing each other. :)
