love thy lake

Hi all, this time I decided to share the spotlight of the blog with some action shots of my parents. Here is dadders on the tube. He kept saying mommers was trying to kill him with her boat driving, but he looks pretty happy to me...
Here is mommers back on water skis after a 10 year hiatus. She said her muscles were like jello afterward. Dadders was up on one ski, but alas no pictures, will have to get one the next time.

And of course, here's me! I get pretty sleepy on the boat, our friend Patricia was nice enough to hold me in the bjorn. Notice my outfit? Its my bear snowsuit, it turns out that my snowsuits double well as 'boat suits', they keep me toasty when the boat is going fast, and also keep me well covered from the sun, and its pretty likely I will be too big to wear them this winter anyway :)

In other news, I can now:
-sit up and not fall over
-stand and balance by holding onto the couch
-make babababa noises, not just vowels anymore.

I also got my first cold, not too surprising since I started day care. I gave it to mommers too, she was not excited, she hadn't been sick since may 2008! but I can't suffer alone now can I? Yesterday they said I had a great day at day care, I smiled a lot, and I also went thru 3 outfits, coincidence?

Stick around summer, I got more swimming to do.

Dos Fangs

Hello again to all the followers of the great adventures, alas I am well aware it has been way too long since my previous post, but my parents have continued on the photography and posting diet, it has actually been a pretty eventful few weeks…

We had a visit from DB & Hillary, who just moved to Madison, WI, I actually made a guest appearance on their blog J Then our friend Lauren was in town for a visit, and finally Grammy stopped in for a few days as well. Here’s a picture of me destroying these wimpy diapers, and then a picture with Grammy giving me a sink bath to clean up after diaper decimation. Care to count my creases and folds?

Now the next 3 photos you might notice are all taken in the same outfit, mommers decided to have a bit of a photo shoot today for the blog. First, here’s me trying to crawl, please note my tummy hath made it off the floor! I can’t go forward yet, but I am quite adept at going backward now, my mommers has found me under the futon and my crib when her back was turned, what can I say, I’m exploring!

Here’s me being an airplane, I am actually headed out in a few minutes to watch the Chicago air and water show practice.

Here’s me in my beloved excersaucer. I already have it on the tallest level ! But what the photo really shows well is my 2^nd fang that has come in. When can I have some cookies??? This rice cereal stuff is crap. Sounds harsh, but its true.

Next week my mommers is going back to work part time, so I am headed to day care 3 days a week, 6 months old and already commuting! We went and tried it out this week for practice; they do have quite a nice toy selection. The best part though was getting to meet Dadders after work to going swimming.

Want to give a shout out to my cousins Zach, Brandon and Owen who are all celebrating or just celebrated birthdays. And welcome back to Auntie Tricia and Uncle Shane who have been off to see Iceland and England.....I think I will check into getting myself a passport :)
