Like a new kid!

PJ has grown so much in this last month, it is like he is a different kid. He got his first two teeth, he can get from sitting up to his knees like he will crawl at any moment, he loves his baths now, he is always telling us stories (he has a good set of lungs from his Dad). Every day he is full of surprises and many many smiles. He loves it when I tickle him and throw him in the air. He is generally a very happy baby, and that is such a blessing.

We have been back for a week from our vacation, I am so sorry that I haven't gotten to posting till now, I have been reading the new Harry Potter book - very engrossing! Vacation was such a good time for us to get away and see family and friends. We were very refreshed. I know that PJ loved meeting all of the new people, maybe not initially but he is a social butterfly at heart and has been kind of lonely since returning home. Here are some of my favorite pics from vacation.

PJ meeting my sister's dog Ninja, PJ wanted to eat him!

My Dad playing with PJ!

A family photo from Steve's side, not very good but the best we could come up with!

From 4th of July, he was the center of attention around his Great Grandparents at my Mom's!

Having dinner with the Dionne's in Spokane, he loves them so much, look at the smile and the drool!

Playing with the Parker kids, he learned how to get to his knees from his friend Zoe!

This one is for Grandma, zwiback toast! He loves it!

One of the first time PJ got to his knees!

Taking a bath Sammy and Abigail, not a great photo, but the only decent one, girls let me know if you want the others.

Zoe and PJ sharing a toy. (But neither one wants to share!)

6 Months Old

PJ had some more shots at his check-up. They went ok, only a couple of minutes of crying! He weighed in at 16 pounds and 25.5 inches long. He is very normal, in the 50th percentile. He has developed so much this last month. He now can roll in 360 degrees to get somewhere. He also does an armyish crawl to get somewhere, slowly but he covers ground. He also realized that he can make sounds when he bangs toys :)! We have also successfully moved to two naps a day, yeah!

Sorry for no updates this last month, we have been busy with all kinds of things. At the moment we are getting ready to go on a 2 week vacation up to Washington. We are going to visit family and friends, we are looking forward to some time away! Here are some pics from the last month.

PJ playing with his sippy cup!

Sorry for the sideways photo, not sure how to change the direction, but this was PJ on Father's day.

Some Mommy and PJ cuddle time! How cute!

Yummm.... FOOD

We started PJ on solids a couple of weeks ago. He is loving them, so far he has eaten everything I have tried: rice, oatmeal and barley cereals, sweet potatoes, yams, peas and carrots. He is getting so active, he has started to lunge for things, a little scary the first few times. He is also a week or so away from sitting up completely on his own. What a big boy!

Eating cereal for the first time! He loved it.

Eating carrots last night, he did manage to get some in his mouth!

Summer Fun in May!

It has been close to or in the low hundreds this last week. So I thought that I would buy a little pool for PJ so he could beat the heat. Did you know that a baby his size can lose 24 oz of water in 24 hrs! We think with time he will begin to like it. He isn't quite sitting up by himself yet, but maybe the pool will help. Aren't the sunglasses cute! So far he likes wearing them!
