• 22 pounds of pure love and joy
• two bottom teeth, one top and two more coming in the top
• sleeping all night! Hooray for you!
• eating 3 jars of baby food a day. some table food
• cruising all over the place. The brick fireplace and concrete pool are your favorites! lots of crawling. The chase has begun!
• waving bye bye and clapping your hands, trying to play peek-a-boo
• loving your brother and sister!
• a wiggle worm
• taking a good nap most days. sometimes there is a short one in the a.m. and afternoon. sometimes no a.m. nap and a 2 1/2 hour afternoon nap. That gives me a chance to wash clothes and read an entire gossip magazine.

We've been pretty busy around here. Everyday we are doing

THIS

AND THIS

We spent Flag Day in our own backyard complete with lots of activities such as two-foot pool, slip-n-slide, playset, trampoline, popsicles. Is there anything else that says summer than a yardfull of junk! Maybe a very old blender that when ask to perform blending duties for an ice cold frozen margarita! However, we almost had the fire department out when it decided to jump off of the base, make a cloud of smoke and sputter black rubber all over the kitchen counter! What a great summer day!
