PLaydate with Cadence





Cadence and Aiden got to enjoy a beautiful unusual day at the park today. WE walked, talked, rode the swings, slept in the swings and Aiden's Nana stopped by for a quick slide! So much fun...can't wait till they can play together!

Aiden's New Things








Aiden is loving his new walker that Nana and Papa brought home from Oregon....

He also loves to sit on your lap and eat your fingers or the table...

And he loves to take a bath and have his hair made funny (well maybe mom and dad love this, but he goes with it if we tickle him and laugh)

Our first TOMATO!


Kellin has patiently been waiting for our tomato plants to produce something....the sun gold cherry tomato has given a few but the others are just loaded with green fruit! Tonight we picked the first tomato and enjoyed them tremendously. Aiden and him every night when he gets home go outside and check out the garden (their little ritual) -I am just happy to sit back and eat them!

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

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!
