Early Summer

First, Michael moved into a big boy convertable carseat (Complete Air 65) and Lor moved into a big girl booster seat (Brittax Frontier).  Her seat actually goes to 5'4" and 120 lbs.  :)


 The whole family went to a La Leche League conference in Grand Rapids and had a blast and learned a ton!  Breastfeeding is so amazing...and so are breastfed babies! :)

Michael loves being naked...but pees...every freaking time.

We planted a garden out back with tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, green peppers, jalapenos, zucchini, squash, basil, oregano, thyme, sage, cillantro, and parsley.  Yumo!

7 months flew by...

Ahhh, naked time outside, a lot less messy and more vitamin d.

Michael was bit by a neighborhood dog, went to the ER, got his first freaking vaccine, and healed just fine!

Another month closer to 1 and further from being my tiny squishy newborn.

Almost crawling...took a few little crawls and then seemed to lose interest.

Enjoying the cool 60 degree june day with my kids outside.

2 bottom teeth...FINALLY...

Baby shower for Beth and Mikaela!!  :)  The trio of friends who really need to not all live in different states.  It was great seeing Megan, baby Bella, and Beth, but I wish it was more often.

Michael was a little over 20 lbs in the ER after the dog bite and has his 9 month on July 5th.  He is so much smaller than Lor was and so much more rotten.  :)  He is into EVERYTHING...and just making me nuts.  I could not love him any more than I do.  Sure enjoying everything boy right now.

Lor is doing great.  Quickly getting smarter than me and excited to start school in the fall.  She is so amazingly big and I don't get the snuggles and kisses nearly as often as I did this time last year and it breaks my heart.  I sure miss my baby girl but I can see the fun young lady she is becoming starting to emerge.
