Father's Day Weekend, remembering and celebrating

Image
Father's day weekend was a mix of wonderful, some sadness, but all in all, fun. We went to Show Low, Arizona for the weekend to see John's family and spread Ray's ashes. John's Dad, Ray, passed away in April, and we miss him every single day. Grandpa Brown will be remembered and talked about to his grandson Rhett, who is Ray's namesake as well. We will always have Show Low to visit and reflect on Ray, as he loved that place up north, his little Heaven on Earth, which he looks upon, I believe, from Heaven now.  As we were saying a few words, after Barb had spread his ashes at Fools Hollow Lake, I thought it very appropriate and telling when a Momma and all of her baby ducks swam by all of us on the dock.  A sign that life is ever revolving, never stopping, and I think Dad will be with all of us, protecting his grandson and watching over us every step of the way. All the cousins, Nic , Rhett, Tatianna , Natasha, Maddie, D ani & Dominic  Rhonda, Mona & John

Rhett's Laughter - 4 months

Auntie Cindy took care of me on Saturday night while Mommy & Daddy traveled to Sedona to a good friends wedding.  Janet & Jason had a beautiful wedding, they had fun.  Auntie Cindy had me giggling and laughing at the dogs.  Here is some video to show you how cute I am happy! Love, Rhett

Yesterday our boy was a whopping 4 months old!  Today was a doctor visit, the first time to eat some real food and two more shots (boo!).  Another first shall be revealed at the end of this post, stay tuned... Stats: Height:  26" - 90th Percentile Weight: 15lbs, 4 oz - 55th Percentile Head: 16 1/4" - 25th Percentile Milestones:   Rhett is smiling a ton, and is really laughing.  He can full belly laugh and get himself into a giggle he just can't stop!  His Daddy can really make him laugh and Mommy likes to tickle and kiss him to make him laugh.  His laugh is just infectious, and you fall in love with him over and over.  Speaking of 'over' - he's about ready to ROLL over.  He's trying so very hard!  Daddy says he looks like a turtle on his back.  He gets close, but just can't get over his arm to get on his tummy yet.  Soon enough I'm sure.  Another thing he loves is what we call 'flying baby', where we hold him overhead and he keeps his lit

It's been a busy couple of weeks for us, including Rhett.  He took his first airplane ride on May 22nd for a long extended trip with Mommy and Auntie Cindy to Bellingham & Seattle Washington.  Mommy had to go for her job, opening a new barbershop up there for her work, and Auntie Cindy came along so that Rhett would not be separated from me.  It was a busy and whirlwind trip for me, however Cindy and Rhett had a great time!   In one of these pictures, we had put his carseat in the trunk rather than on the ground as we were getting ready and he thought it was the funniest thing ever!  "Baby In The Trunk".   Cindy was able to show him the ocean for the first time, take him up to the mountains to see snow at Mount Baker and even took him to Peace Arch State Park to venture into Canada, his first foreign country!  We spent a little time for a break in Seattle, and Cindy was thrilled to visit the first ever Starbucks location.  We also got to meet up with Gina and Dev
