Comparing Boys and Summer Update

We love watching Monty try to talk or make noises or just blow bubbles...
he has quite the mobility with his tongue
Dawson had quite a tongue too... Maybe it's genetic?

 As much as I try to get things done around the house, Monty loves to be held. He will sit by himself for awhile, but after a few minutes he will topple over and bonk his little head. SO, I opted for the box approach which was extremely successful until ..
.. he started to try and eat the box as you can see on the bottom left corner. And then he started to push so hard with his legs he ripped the box and fell back on his head anyways. I pushed it by the couch so he couldn't push back and fall over again... he just got smarter and stronger. He would push and straighten his legs, using the couch for leverage, he actually stood up (on a diagonal).
 I remember putting Dawson in a box to play too.... yes, this is Dawson below. He had longer hair than Monty does at the same age. However, Monty was born with a lot less. 
We had a play date with some friends and went to the splash pad! 
 My handsome Dawson is ripped! He says he's got pecks that are like his dads. 
 The next Sunday we left for a road trip to Worland, WY. Monty did so well in the car and was the happiest baby all the way there. On the way back, a completely different story. 
 We stayed in Billings on the way down and had to go swim. The boys looked so cute in their matching swim suits.
After leaving Billings, we quickly crossed into Wyoming. We were so excited to see something familiar... a Maverick! We haven't seen one since we left Utah. So seeing one meant we were closer to home. :-)
We saw this awesome wall painting on the side of an old building. 
We saw this sign that said 'hyart'... we thought, "Yep that is art that is high up. High Art."

 On the way back, we took the scenic by way over Big Horn National park. It was GORGEOUS! 

 The scenic by way started to get really interesting and we fell more in love with this drive.
 AND THEN! we saw MOOSE! 3 wild moose just chillin' on the side of the road. It was so cool! We had to stop, and then every one else passing by stopped too. 
 Here was 2, and then about a 100 yards down there was a cow. 
 It looks like Ireland because of how green it was up there. 
 Coming down off the high mountain we got to see this. It felt like we were on top of the world.
Thank you Wyoming for the beautiful drive. On the whole trip we saw badgers, raccoons, beavers, cranes, moose, and deer. It was pretty eventful!
