Memorial Day Cookout

Chad came back to Wisconsin to meet Jesse, so we had a cookout on Sunday. What a great day for a cookout! Weather was great, beer was cold, and did I mention there was Sangria? Yum!

2 Months!

What a month! Mom has been keeping us all busy, and everything seems to be going at lightning speed. I decided to hang out at the neighbors a couple days a week, so mom decided she might as well go back to work. We have a lot of fun, Belle is so fun to watch!

I talk a lot now, and smile even more. I even laugh & giggle if something really makes me happy. Mommy and Daddy got a popup camper so we are trying to figure out where to take my first camping trip. Anyone have any favorite spots we should check out?

We of course had lots of visitors and went to visit lots of new people & places:

Papi and Gaia came for a cookout...



Mommy and I walked up to GG's...




Deb, Alyssa and Heather came over after garage sale'ing. Alyssa started crawling for the first time! I am going to have to take some notes ;-)



Auntie Hedd and Auntie Jen came for a cookout...





I started holding my own nuk...



Some tummy time with Dad (my favorite)...



Daddy's being silly. He's going to give me a bath with my shirt on my head.



Laughing with Dad in the morning...



I got to listen in to all the girl talk at my first bachelorette party. At least Ty was there for some male companionship...





Carolyn, Luke & Brady came for a visit...





June and Tony came to visit. June had the coolest blanket made for me :)



I really LOVE hanging out with Gaia and Papi!





And Mommy's first Mommy's Day! Dad got her a really cool oak tree to plant for the year I was born. It will be so neat watching it grow with me.

They say the family that bounces together stays together?! Mommy wanted a 2 month family photo, so Gaia was trying to take pictures. Unfortunately I was a bit cranky at the time. Mommy and Daddy bounced me while Gaia took the picture (which is why it's a bit blurry). So here's our best 2 month family photo!



Like I said, what a month. Today I get my 2 month shots - ouch. Mommy's NOT bringing the camera for that event. We've been so blessed to have all of you in our lives, you sure make this world grand.

And we are so glad to report that my cousin Reese is back home with her Mommy and Daddy in Arizona. We love you so much Reese and are constantly amazed at your strength and determination. We definitely know where you get it from :)

We'll be back for an update next month!
