July 4th Fun

Later on Saturday we went to my great grandparents house for root beer floats! I can't wait until I can eat real grown up food! It sounds way better than warm milk on a super hot day!

On Saturday we went to Enger Tower. I went all the way to the top, but you guessed it, was sleeping, so I didn't see the view. Mom and Dad enjoyed it though!

Even though I slept the entire hike, I was still exhausted when we got back to the car. Its a lot of work to sleep in that little baby carrier!

We had a great July 4th weekend! Daddy had Friday off so we went to Jay Cooke State Park and hiked over the swinging bridge and through the woods. It was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun.

Over the Weekend

Heres one of those smiles I was talking about. I am happy because I love mommy!

I just went to the doctor on Friday. I am 22 inches tall! And I weigh 11 lbs 2 oz. I am a big boy now! Dad is trying to get me to walk here. He has high expectations for me- I know he wants me in skis by this winter. We will see...

A Milestone!

Yesterday was my first real smile! And today I proved it(since Mommy was uncertain it was from gas or from her trying to make me smile) by smiling a whole bunch while she played with me. Mommy is so excited, she says it makes everything worth it just to see my smiling face. Since I still don't like just anyone to see me smile, you may have to wait awhile until mom or dad can capture it on camera.

Fun at the Pool on Saturday

I went to Aunt Shellys place on Saturday and dipped my feet in the pool. It felt so good! The water temp was 86 degrees! I couldn't go all the way in the water though because Mom and Dad have not bought me swim trunks yet. Maybe next time. I also went to a fun party at Aunt Jills house in the evening. It was Uncle Justin's golden 30th birthday! Happy Birthday Uncle Justin!

Aunt Shelly can't be mad at me now, because I'm so cute!

My new thing is spitting up. I think burping is overrated and now just go straight for the spewing chunks. Aunt Shelly got to experience that the other day when I totally blew chunks all the way down her back and even got a little in her hair. At least she didn't drop me when I did that. I don't think she appreciated it, but just to let you know Aunt Shelly, I only spew on people I love!!! (In this picture, that tank top she is wearing is not the original one she had on. I didn't like the first one anyway, that's why I had to dirty it so she would change.)

Canal Park

I went to Canal Park today. We walked on the lake walk and almost got blown away! It was super windy! But Mom was strong and pushed through it. All I had to do was sleep. It was wonderful!

Finally, no more clothes!

My dinosaur outfit is pretty cool.

I am practicing my boxing moves. Don't I look intimidating?? My blank stare gives the illusion that I might just be crazy! Don't mess with me!

Me and Grandma. She came to visit and I got to see her 4 days in a row! I was so happy! She even made me smile!

I'm pretty sure I am filling my diaper.

Week 5 (I made it a month!)

I'm just cute, that's all I really need to say about this pic.

Yes, I'm naked. It is hot up here in Duluth. I know for some of you that is hard to believe but yes, it does make it above 50 degrees occasionally!

Dad is being my pillow here. He is pretty comfy to sleep on.

I got to visit my great grandparents today. My great grandma made a comfy bed for me to kick and play on. The music box in this picture may be recognized by my Auntie Shelly and Uncle Jim. It is old, but it stll plays a beautiful tune!
