So many things to pull up on!  And so little time!  And all the things you can see!

Peek-a-boo!

Hmmm… what are these shiny things?

Hello?  I can’t hear you over the frog!

Daddy, can you fix the broken froggie-talkie?

One of my favorite things to do on Saturdays during the summer is to go to the Farmer’s Market.  That’s because I get to sample the stone fruit!

This time it was the nectarines that were really yummy.

This isn’t actually as painful as it looks.  I’m just making funny faces.

Can’t wait until next week!

Sometimes when I’m following Daddy places I get stopped.

Then I have to put on my best charm.  “Daddy?  Where are you going?  Can you take me with you?  If you just come back that would be OK, too!”  Please!?

That’s right!  It’s me and I’m over seven months old now!  I’m eating yummy sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, and squash.

And I’m pumping and priming my legs getting ready to crawl.  Just wait until 8 months and you won’t be able to take these pictures any more!  I’ll be crawling away!

Atlas has all the best tricks.  He teaches me new ones every day.  I’ve totally mastered sleeping and stretching.

This one might take me a while to learn, though.

Aunt Liz and Uncle Ryan gave me some ice cream money for my birthday.  Well, it was finally hot enough to go for a treat, so we did!

Of course, I got cookies & cream, my favorite flavor.  Thanks Aunt Liz and Uncle Ryan!

Now that I’m grabbing things all the time, one of my favorite things to grab is my bug that M&D call ‘Diaper Bug’.  I think they call it that because I mostly get to grab it when I’m getting a new diaper.

He is very friendly and has lots of legs and things to grab.  He keeps me very busy!

I have some friendly animals that sometimes come to visit me when I’m lying in bed.

I talk to them to keep them company!

I wanted to grow some corn in the garden this year, so Mommy made some space for me.

Look like they’re coming along – they’re taller than me!
