This cool shirt...




Today Aiden wore the coolest outfit, my grandma brought it back last year from her cruise to the Bahamas and I thought it was so cute but this afternoon we were hanging out in the backyard and it started changing colors! The fish and the turtle and the words turned pink, white and shades of blue! It was pretty cool so I had to show it off. Thanks GRANDMA MICKI! Oh yeah and we played with the cool ball Nana (mom) got him which is so great because he can actually grab it and "toss" it.


Happy 4th of July

What to do when it is 108 outside




Well if you are a Shasta county kid there is only 2 things to do when the temperature outside is unbearable.....

















You know you want some of this...








Number 1- GO SWIMMING!

















NUMBER 2- EAT POPSICLES (well the modified baby version of frozen watermelon in a mesh popsicle bag)



Ohhh yeah 3 things....Take a nap in the air conditioned house

6month CHECK UP

Today bug had his 6 month check up and shots (oohhh don't you just cringe) He did good. New measurements are

Weight- 19 lbs. 2 oz (75% percentile)

Height- 27 1/2 inches (75% percentile)- where did this come from?

Head Circumference- 44.6 cm (so yes his brain is fine)

Mom, Dad and baby are happy and more importantly so is the doctor. We will spend the next 2-3 months ensuring the monitor doesn't go off and then we will have a second sleep study done (around 9-12 months) in REDDING (not Sac.) and go off the monitor and medicine- YEAH!

Happy Daddy's Day
















Our first father's day- a week late!





Breakfast- on the patio (tough to let dad sleep in with a baby)





Mid-Morning walk on the river trail to visit Grandpa Bob's bench





Beautiful day and dinner with the family!





Overall- not too shabby.
