Week 30 and 31: busy lil' bees and a new nephew

We have been busy. The fourth, Matt's birthday, and a new baby. I guess we were having so much fun that I forgot to get pictures at most of these events...oops!

Mason spent some quality time with GG on the holiday weekend and he sure finds her to be the "bees knees."

I am not sure where she gets all her energy? Matt says she was the grandma that did all the water slides, amusement parks ect...and for the most part she is still this way.

Let me give you some drool kisses.
Finally after two months of gnawing and buckets of drool ( I am not exaggerating) we have a bottom tooth. AND have I mentioned that he is a crazy kid? He is crawling so fast and pulling up on everything he can. He is into everything he is not suppose to be and I don't stop moving when he is up but I am not complaining because this age is so much fun. The calorie burn is a plus as well.
On July 9th at 12:12 pm Cormic Colton Armstead entered this world at 8lbs 14 oz. We were hoping he would be born on the 10th, my grandma June's birthday but I guess god and Cormic had another plan:) Emily woke up at 5 that morning in strong labor and Cade and Em. headed to the hospital and six hours later with two pushes he made his appearance. He is so precious. He does look like Keegan as a baby but he has a lot of dark hair. I just love these babies. Congratulations Cade, Em. and Keegan! We love you so much and look forward to all the fun memories that lie ahead.

Holding Cormic made Mason feel HUGE!!! I am constantly in awe how fast they grow.
Unfortunately both of my parents were out of town the day he was born so Matt and I headed over there as soon as we could to meet him. I can't believe my lil' bro is a dad of two!!!
I didn't get any pics of Em that day (per her request which I completely understood) but in my opinion she looked great and was recovering quickly.
We took Keegan for a couple days (one night). He was a blast but definitely a challenge. We bought him a "congratulations you are a big brother" gift. A toddler camera. They are nearly indestructible digital cameras that can take video and you can play games on them. I was impressed with all the capability for $45.00. This definitely kept him entertained. He took pictures of EVERYTHING. He also is big on "Why" right now, it would go on and on so we would just say "because." We really did enjoy having him and it was good practice for things to come. By the time Cade, Em, and Cormic picked him up on Saturday we were exhausted.
Here is a video from a few weeks ago. Its not the best crawling video we have but blogger did not seem to like the others.
