First Fruit: Pears

Time for lunch!

What is this?

It's terrible!!

I can't even swallow it.

Can I be excused?

Seven Months Old

It's hard to believe, but another month has gone by. Each month brings many new developmental milestones.




Here are the highlights at month seven:

• Adam now has two bottom teeth. He is still drooling constantly, rubbing his gums, and trying to chew on everything. It doesn't look like there will be much of a break before the next ones start coming.
• He babbles constantly, including the sound "dada". He loves to hear his voice and it can get quite loud. He even sings himself to sleep.
• Is very sturdy sitting on his own and is very coordinated with his hands. He can grab even the smallest of objects.
• Adam is very social. He loves getting out of the house (especially outside) and is usually not afraid to go to new people.
• Is eating a variety of vegetables now - squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, and peas. He'll start eating fruits next week.
• Is "All Boy" - he loves being tossed up in the air, tickled upside down, or any other rough play.
• Lastly, and probably the biggest change is that he start crawling. He just started doing this early in the week and already he gets stronger and faster each day.
  
  

Way to go!

Uncle Matt ran a 10 mile race today around White Bear Lake. We cheered him on at the 5 mile mark and at the finish. He took third place in his age group. Way to go - we are so proud of you!

Playdate with Addie

Adam and Addie played indoors today because of the rain. Addie shared many fun new toys, but Adam was especially amused by trying to pull out her pink bow.

Go Vikes!

I may live in Packer country, but I cheer for the purple & gold.

Labor Day Weekend

The weekend was filled with lots of fun, family, and festivities.

Adam enjoyed all of the action and attention. There was always someone around to hold him, tickle him, and give his chubby cheeks a pinch or a kiss.


Family gathered from near and far. We had an enjoyable day of golf and a BBQ afterwards.


Abe and Cora entertained us in the yard while they found salamanders and played ball. Cora was even brave enough to pull out a loose tooth and proved to be a very competitive 'Sack Attack' player.


Al is seen here perfecting his form for the Cornhole toss. We played until dusk when Al finally had to admit defeat.


Jenn and Mike had wedding decisions to make and decided to let the family help them with a vote.


Owen, Abe, Cora, and Adam enjoyed seeing one another and getting to stay up late!

Lunch Date

Today I had lunch with my mommy, Grandma Cathy (Nana), and cousin Soren. After lunch, we walked to the end of the Hudson Pier. Soren and I had so much fun checking out all the people, pets, boats, and each other.
