The Adventures of Mr. and Mrs. G: Sports, Family, and the Fair

I must sound like a broken record but I am amazed at how fast this year is going by! I feel like I blinked in June and now it's October! Obviously for our family, Weston is the main cause of the super sonic speeds but Matt and I are both going through adjustments as work as well. And then, of course, our nation has been dealing with its fair share (namely Syria and the government shutdown). I enjoy hearing about the simple times of the older generations when little kids could safely ride their bicycles as far as they wanted and marriages tended to last until death parted the lovers. What in the world is happening? I feel like I must work doubly hard to make sure Weston becomes a man of character. Sometimes when I get worried about raising Weston with the world the way that it is, I remember that I am not alone. I am married to a strong, wonderful man who will be an amazing example for Weston. Matt will teach West things that only a father can- like how to treat a woman, how to provide for those you love, and the difference between a dry and wet industrial scrubber. I have a fantastic family that showers Weston with more love than I can even comprehend. Yes, I think he will be just fine.

Matt and I had a great time at the Cowboys game. It worked out great as my dad was able to take a last minute trip here so he watched Weston while we went (he hated it I'm sure!). Plus, it was $50 less we had to give Jerry Jones for parking! Win!

We did take Weston to his first (and second) Ranger's game last month too. He is such a trooper. It's interesting to me that some families slow down when they have a baby. I don't know how they do it. Time with Weston is in high demand so we are constantly on the go! I wouldn't have it any other way. It's so very important to me that West knows how many people in this world love him. Plus, showing off the cutest baby in town is always fun. :)

My Dad and Julie came to visit this past weekend! I think we crammed every bit of fun we could into 3.5 days. We tailgated at the Ranger's game and went to the State Fair where we each ate our weight in fried food. It was so worth every pound gained.

Weston is now just shy of 4 months old and weighs about 19.5 pounds. He has found his feet and occasionally stares cross-eyed at them though he can't quite figure out how to get them in his mouth (lack of coordination and a big gut are to blame). He drools at an amazing rate. He is laughing more often and is becoming ticklish. He sleeps 8 or 9 hours overnight without waking (yes, I know I'm lucky). Although he still prefers to sit, he has started to stand with help in small doses.
