Did you miss me?

Yeah, you know you did!

I've been busy growing and having all kinds of new experiences. Like swimming. It's pretty fun, assuming the water isn't too cold of course!


It is fun to splash in the water. Well, fun until the water comes back up and hits you in the face.

I think my sister is right, summer time is fun!!

I'm a big boy now!

Here I am taking a bath like a big boy. I am so very proud of myself!


My first meal of "salmon". Yes I know it is really a pink plastic fish, but a boy can dream.


Oh no! It is trying to swim away!


But he won't get far...I'll get him!

Pick me up

You know you want to!

Or I can just get in some tummy time. I want to crawl, I just haven't figured out all the logistics of it yet.



Here I come to get you!


My hair is finally growing back in. It is really light though so you may not be able to tell. What do you think? Am I a handsome boy?


For those of you who don't have the pleasure of hanging out with me everyday, Mom says this picture pretty much sums up my personality.


You know what they say... a picture is worth a thousand words!

How to keep a baby cool

When the temperatures and humidity rise babies get fussy. Here is a quick and easy fix:


Take one clean washcloth. Run under cold tap water. Apply to baby's head. Not a bad look is it?



Makes a good chew toy also!


This definitely feels better.


But seriously Mom, couldn't you have found a more masculine color?

Growing boy

With my new solid food diet I am growing faster than ever. See what a big boy I am these days?

I love to play little games with anyone I see.


Who me? A flirt? I don't know what you are talking about!


Oh, ok, maybe just a little. I really do love everyone I see though. No one can believe what a smiley baby I am. But I bet you can't guess who my favorite person on the planet is...

My big sister! You thought I was going to say Mommy didn't you? She is a close second, but I save my biggest smiles and most adoration for Delia, she is simply the best!


Don't you agree?

Mmm, mmm good

I've really taken to this eating thing. Here I am after a meal of sweet potatoes.


Mom says I'm a chunk who is going to eat her out of house and home. I turned 5 months old this week and already I eat a whole banana for breakfast then a whole 4 ounce jar of baby food for dinner.


I say keep it coming Mom, this is good!!

A Few of My Favorite Things

I'm a growing boy getting into everything within my reach these days. Here are a few of my favorites.

Of course every baby loves to sleep, and I am no different. My favorite napping place is snuggled next to Mommy in Mom and Dad's bed. Here I am out cold right in the middle of their big bed.


This is my block. It is soft and squishy and it rattles! I love it.


Smiling is still one of my favorite activities also! It gets me lots of hugs and kisses.


My favorite chew toy is my hands, mostly because they are always available. These faithful friends follow me everywhere.


But by far my favorite thing to play with is my big sister. She is the best!
