Video: The Spinkler!

A day at the park with Mommy and Daddy

Today, we were lucky to have Daddy stay home with us, and we took him to the park. You had so much fun on the swings again, you really love it!

And... since it was a hot, sunny day we got to break in your cute new swim suit (Thanks Aunt Nikki!) and run through the sprinklers for the first time! You weren't really sure what to think about the sprinklers and getting wet, but you wouldn't take your eyes of of them and all the big kids playing!

Yummy Sweet Potatoes!

We moved on to our second vegetable today... Sweet Potatoes! You loved them. They were gone before I knew it!

A new adventure.... the park!

Mommy has been wanting to take you to the park for quite a while now. Unfortunately, it has been really rainy for the past few weeks. Today, we finally went and we had a fabulous day. We went to the South Abington park, which is our park right here in town. It is so much nicer than I could have imagined! There are the swings and playground equipment, walking trails with covered bridges and a really cool sprinkler play area. I had so much fun with you today!! You went in the baby swing, which you loved and we spent some time watching the big kids play in the sprinkler.

More new things....

We used the pack n'play for something new today.... to play in. I had thought about it for awhile now, but was afraid you would tip over and hit your head. While you are so good at sitting up, when you are playing you tend to lean too far to one side and over you go. Well, grandma suggested it the other day and I thought we'd give it a try. You did fall over a few times, but then I just sat you in the corner. This seemed to work a little better, and as long as there are toys- you have a good time.

Also today, you started rocking back and forth on your hands and knees. I hear this is a big step in beginning to crawl! You can go backwards which is funny to watch, but need a little more time before you are moving forward. In any case, it is great progress and I am so happy to see you more interested in learning to crawl!

The first Father's Day

Daddy's First Daddy's Day!! Sunday, June 21, 2009. We spent the day at home, visiting with Grandma and Grandpa. Daddy has been working really hard, so it was a day for him to relax. He also decided to have you try on some shoes... very funny!

Your First Vegetable-- Carrots!

We have moved on from cereals and have now started vegetables! (FINALLY!) You tried carrots today, which actually despite your face below, you seem to like. You always make that face when you get the first spoonful of anything, even if you've had it many times before! I think you didn't mind them too much.

Da Da !!!!!

And.... your first words are "da-da" !!!!! As always, you start a new month off with a big milestone! This morning you were "talking" up a storm, rambling different sounds together and mommy was repeating them. "Ga Ga, goo goo, then all of a sudden "da da da da da". I actually repeated you a few times before I realized, and then thought wait, did you just say "da da" ? Did we both just say da da? Well, you did!! Of course, daddy had just left and couldn't believe the news when we told him!

Seven Months Old!!

You're 7 months old today!!! Here you are in your new floppy beach hat and sandals that Nana gave you. Too cute! You are ready for the beach.
