Chillin at the beach

The family shots

Get well soon Grandma

Jeff's mom had her gallbladder removed on Thursday and had some complications that resulted in her being in the ER for a few day. She's supposed to be transferred to the regular floor today though. Feel better Sue!

Dylan is also proud to present some of his 6 month professional pictures. I'll be posting a few over the next few days too

Aunt Linda's little firecracker

I saw this shirt in the dollar bin at Target and had to buy it for the little man. I hope it still fits for Fourth of July.

Cute picture

Laura took the baby outside and got this really cute shot!

Scoot Scootin' Boogie

I watched D Man Friday night and Saturday. We had a good time. He was a little cranky Friday night, but finally fell asleep. He woke up so happy! He sleeps through the night now which is so wonderful!!! We have a lot of fun playing with all of his toys. Laura takes him for walks at least once a day, but it was 90 today, so I decided to take him for his walk at Target. Laura needed diapers, so it was a good excuse. Mark had a remote start installed in my Edge, so I can start the car and get the AC going from in the house. Moving from an AC house, to an AC car, to an AC store - it's a wonderful thing!!

He has a few new tricks up his sleeve too. As Lori posted, he has been eyeing Laura's drinking cup and/or water bottles. So, she decided to put his milk in a sippy cup - he doesn't like the sippy top but he loves it if you just hold the cup up to his mouth, tip it a little bit so he can drink out of it like a little hummingbird. He likes it better than bottles! He's also eating cereal once a day and Laura's been mixing in some first baby food for more nutrients. He's still kind of small, so we are trying to get him to gain some weight and go up a percentile or two.

His other trick is he scoots now. He has moved as many as two feet in one direction! It's not quite crawling yet. He picks up his butt, and digs his toes into the carpet and pushes off like a froggy jump. Sometimes he gets his hands to dig into the carpet for some pulling action. Sometimes his arms just flop around. Once he figures out that he has knee caps, there will be no stopping him. No pictures to post, but I still have a few more from Laura's camera that I'll be posing later this week. Hopefully my new camera will be in this week so I can go crazy with pictures!

Dylan's first baseball and bat

Grandpa Welch also bought Dylan a mini Louisville Slugger and tiny baseball - which Dylan loved to pop right into his mouth. If you notice the upper right of this picture, you'll see daddy's framed Vette picture hanging above his chair.

Dylan's first Corvette

My dad bought two Corvette pedal cars several years ago and has been waiting for grandkids. Well, since Dylan is sitting up on his own pretty good, daddy wanted to put him in his first Corvette when we were over there for Memorial Day / Mark's bday. I told dad he should pull his out of the garage and get the boys and their toys side by side.

Say Cheese

I love Jeff's smile in this pic!

Sweet potatoes

Dylan doesn't love his cereal, but he does eat it despite making faces. Laura tried him on sweet potatoes too. What a face! I'm glad I haven't had to feed those to him yet - what a mess. Love, Aunt Linda
