Tower Wrecker

Today I made some cookies with Dad in the front carrier. The cookies look much more appetizing than my pureed prunes, but my parents tell me that I have to wait for cookies.
Later, we made block towers and I smashed them with my hands and feet.


Here's an outtake of me wrecking towers.

Baking Cookies

Over Memorial Day weekend dad's college buddy and his family visited from MN. Sean and dad have always bonded over chocolate chip cookies and amber ale. Here are pictures of me baking cookies with Sean and Anneke. No amber ale for me though!
This month I finally weaned mom from our marathon morning nap sessions - but I will forever cherish those moments.... However, mom talked me into an afternoon nap with her today and it was WONDERFUL.
I now take three 20-30 min naps during the day, usually two in my crib and one in my jog stroller. Since it's been getting so hot outside we've been going on a.m. jogs which is nice and shaded on the canal path at 10 a.m.

Hello Sunshine!

Today we played under the pergola. I like to watch for birds and butterflies. They fly-by real fast but I am a fast, sharp baby and can track them like a hawk!
We are all lovin' the sunshine and warm weather, but I'd have to say that one of my favorite things about the nice weather is wearing sun dresses - I LOVE to suck on my toes! ;-)

Sears Portrait Studio

Today mom played Sears portrait studio for my 6 month, or really 6.5 month...., photo shoot. I even wore mom's dress from when she was a little girl.
This week I had my 6 month, or really 6.5 month..... Dr. appointment. The Dr. said I was a "sensitive" baby and that I appear to have bonded very well with my parents. I love my parents, they're pretty much the greatest! I have no idea what separation anxiety issues are....

Back from Billings, Montana

I just got back from a wonderful week long trip to Billings, Montana to see Grandma Loretta and Grandpa Roy. It was my first time seeing Grandma and Grandpa since I was about 10 days old, so I had a great time playing with them.
My Great Grandma Helen came up to Billings on Saturday along with Rhonda, Tom, and Teo. Everyone had a big turkey dinner, but I chose to just eat my milk and sweet potatoes instead.
Here I am with Teo.My parents enjoyed some time together riding their bikes on the Rims.
Vacation was a little rough on my routine and I began to get cranky towards the end of the trip, so my parents are trying to get me back on track. My parents are also breaking me of my swaddle, which is going pretty well so far and I just wake briefly once or twice each night for a quick comforting from my mom or dad. It seems like a small step backwards from my old swaddled sleep routine, but it's probably easier to break that habit now then later.

Today I started my "Stage 2" foods. I had a jar of Banana, Peaches, and Oatmeal which is my new favorite. Mom also just bought some other new foods that I'm excited to try this week. I have a check-up with the doctor tomorrow, so I'll update you on how my shots go and tell you how much I've grown!

MT giggles

I'm having a wonderful time at Grandma Loretta and Grandpa Roy's. Grandma Loretta is hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing at the funny noise she makes....



Today, I spent the afternoon with Grandma and Grandpa while Mom and Dad went for their first bike ride together since I've been born. They had the giggles about that too!
