Water Fun

Since Lena can now sit on her own, and the weather is hot, we decided to try out the Splish-Splash play mat. Lena loves the water and kept trying to grab it. She also kept getting it in her face and laughing. I wish we had an adult-sized one.

Father's Day

We had a really nice Father's Day. Lena gave Seth outdoor speakers, so we had some friends over and partied. Lena was dressed up in her red-and-white gingham. Of course, we had to take pictures!

Dancing and Playing

We were listening to '40s music, and Seth felt like dancing. Lena had a great time jiving.

We got Lena a xylophone/piano because she loves noise. When I took out the camera, she started posing with the keys.

Future Musical Genius?

Having Fun With New Toys!

Lena has recently acquired some "new" toys, due to her generous Cousin Edy. She has a walker and bouncy play station. Both are pink and loaded with toys.


"I'm so happy in my play station!"


So many toys!



Lena moves backward in her walker. She kept bumping into the oven, and found another baby looking back at her. She reached out to her, trying to figure it out. I wish I could have gotten a picture of it, but she kept looking at me.




Cousin Edy is showing Lena how to play.

Lena borrowed Edy's swing. Can you tell that she loves it? Dada and I are going to get Lena her own swing today.

More Friends Come to Visit

Seth's BFF, Kevin, came to visit with Jamie, his wife. Lena had fun getting to know them. We all went out to eat at the Mellow Mushroom. Lena hung out while the adults had pizza and beer outside. She went shopping with Mom and Jamie. She was a very good girl this weekend.

Six Months Old!

Lena had her 6 month appointment. She's grown so much! I think the doctor was very impressed- Lena sleeps 9-10 hours at night, eats veggies and yogurt, is trying to "crawl", and talks. She even does better with the shots. She only cried a few seconds this time.

Her ears stick out like a little monkey.


Waiting excitedly for the shots!

She finally doubled her weight.

Lena loves the jolly jumper. She finally got the hang of it, instead of just turning around in circles.

Family Weekend

Well, I was reprimanded for posting without pictures (sorry Jay), so here are a few.

My Dad and Carmon came up from Florida, and Uncle Jason, Aunt Shannon and Cousin Edy came out for BBQ. Lena dressed the part in her western shirt and cowgirl hat.

Zoe loves to be in pictures too.
