Checking up on things

Today was my 6 month check up. I'm as healthy as a horse, and nearly as big as one! I am 25lb 7 oz and 30 inches long. I am still in the 100th percentile for my age! I also had to get my next set of vaccines, the nurse I have is very quick, so it wasn't too bad. Plus mommy gave me some tylenol before we went. Can't wait to keep growing and impress them more next time!

Mommy goes back to work

This week mommy left me starving for hours. Daddy tried to help, but all he has to offer is that icky bottle, I can only stomach it when I'm super hungry and half asleep, so that I don't notice that it's not the real thing. I didn't eat for 10 hours on Saturday! On Sunday mommy was only gone for 5 hours so it wasn't as bad. But then on Tuesday I gave in and ate 8 ounces...I hope this isn't going to happen too often!

A toothy grin

Here you can see my big top teeth, and one of my bottom teeth. I have all four though. I like to chew on everything! Just thought you'd like to see them!

Farmor and Farfar visit

I've had a great time this week, soaking up all the attention I can get from Farmor and Farfar. We went to the applefair, and wine tasting, and swimming. I was even good for them when they babysat me for a few hours! This is a picture of us swimming. I had a lot of fun splashing my hands and kicking my feet in the water. It was fun to have them visit, they would play with me, and sing funny songs to me! I hope they come again soon!

My friend Kalle

Kalle keeps close watch over me. He likes to sleep with me in my bed, its okay with me except when he hogs the blankets!

Chomp! Chomp!

I'm ready for some steak! I now have 4 teeth. My right top tooth came in today so now I have 2 top and 2 bottom. I like to use them, but mommy yells OUCH! when I practice chewing when eating....

jogging stroller

Check me out in my cool jogging stroller. Mommy and Sarek and I go for walks and runs in it. I like it alot, with all my toys. When we first got it, I was so short that my legs stuck straight out, but now I can bend my knees over the edge!

Rolling over!

I rolled over for the first time today! While Daddy was opening his birthday presents, I reached for one of my toys and I rolled from my stomach to my back.

This isn't really a picture of the actual roll-over, but I sure am trying!

Snoozing with my puppy

Here I am, taking a nap in the car seat with our puppy in my lap. We're on our way to a park to go for a walk with some of Mommy's friends.

Playing Poker

Today, Daddy took me to play poker. I wanted to take the cards and play myself, but all I Daddy would let me was watch.

Teeth

You can't really see them but you sure can feel them! You should have heard Daddy yowl when I took a chomp on his thumb at dinner tonight...he made Mommy check to see if he was bleeding! I have both my bottom teeth now!

Just like Mom

I guess I'm a little like Mommy too. This is Mommy and me enjoying a sleepy sunday morning. I don't think Mommy wants this picture up on the internet...he he he!

Just like Dad

Mommy says this picture reminds her of Daddy since he always has his eyes shut in pictures...she said she hopes I don't make a habit of ruining all her pictures! This was at the birthday party also. I liked to squish the sand in my toes.

Swing

Here I am swinging on the big kids swing at Kalie's birthday party. Dad wouldn't push me very high...what a chicken...I tried to tell him "higher, higher, do an underdoggy" but he didn't seem to understand.

Eating adventures

I'm not so sure about this eating thing. Although my favorite food is apple sauce.

Playing on my stomache

Here I am, playing on my stomache. On my right is a musical hanging toy. It's hard work keeping my head up.

Mommy flashed this light right into my face, so that she could get a picture of my big blue eyes.

My first tooth!

Today I got my first tooth. Mommy found it when I was chewing on her knuckle. After two months of drooling and chewing on everything in site, I have to admit its a bit of a let down...all that fuss for this? Seems pretty useless to me. But, mommy was pretty excited so it must be a good thing.

Mr. Yellow in Vegas

This past weekend mommy and daddy took me to a Vegas Wedding! I had fun dancing at the wedding, and then had a lot of fun touring the strip from the comfort of my stroller. You should have heard the others compaining about thier feet hurting! I would have shared, its not my fault they're too big. Here is me with Mr. Yellow. He was pretty cool. Mommy says some day I'll like to eat him...that sounds crazy....

4th of July

Grandpa took this picture at the fireworks show. Everybody said the fireworks show was great, but I slept through it all.

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit me this weekend. We had lots of fun. Boy are my stomache muscles sore from all the laughing that I did!

Sonoma hot air balloons

Here I am at the the Sonoma County Hot Air Balloon Classic. Mommy and Daddy had to get up at 5am to see the balloons take off in the morning sun. I wanted to go for a ride, but Mommy said I was too little.
