What a set of lungs!

As Kevin was changing Gage into his pj's tonight, Gage got tickled and started laughing and making all sorts of noises. Well, he accidentally got a scream out (a happy one!), and he thought that was just really funny, and continued to scream and then laugh hysterically for a few minutes! Here's a clip...

Hot Shot!

A Whole new World!

Since Gage was teeny tiny, he has disliked laying down. For naps, tummy time, etc. doesn't matter. He wants nothing to do with it. He even brings his chin to his chest in his carseat trying to sit upright! So, today I sat him up and let go and the little booger sat there! He even wobbled to the side a little and was able to right himself! He's living up to his "Baby Hercules" nickname!

"Look Ma, no hands!!"

1 week shy of 5 months!

We're going to Disneyworld!

Disney has a promotion this year that lets you come for free on your birthday. So thanks to Uncle Bert for working at Universal and getting free tickets and Auntie Kate for finding a person to trade Universal tics for Disney tics, we had enough tickets to go as long as we went on somebodys birthday! So this last Saturday, Bryce turned the big "0-5" and we celebrated all day and into the night!
Happy Birthday B-boy!

Gage where he was happiest...we used the stroller for storage!!

What happened to summer ?!?

Nope...didn't fall off the edge of the earth, traveled a good portion of it, but didn't fall off! So much going on this summer, I think Reunion is where I started losing track of it all!
Labor Day weekend is the Holcomb Family Annual Reunion, this year my Great Uncle Ordy hosted it in Clay, West Virginia. After a hectic and frustrating start to the weekend (including Kevin's work not having paychecks ready) we managed to get all of us Erhardts and Littles packed and to the airport on time and in good moods, even if our pockets were empty! Reunion was nonstop from the moment we arrived, it was so wonderful catching up with everybody and felt like picking up where we left off from last reunion! My cousin Rogan arrived the night before Reunion, he is a Marine and just finished a tour in Iraq. A group met him at the Airport, he had no idea Reunion was this same weekend so was taken by complete surprise! We are all so proud of him and it was wonderful to be able see him and acknowledge his hard work and the sacrifices he's made to serve our country! Thanks Rogan, we love you!
My mom's cousin Gary and his son Tim also joined us, we always enjoy time with them! All the cousins big and small were happy to be together again (or for the fisrt time!) and we are looking forward to next year already!
Below are a few pictures, there are WAYYYY too many to post, but you can find the rest by clicking here.
