My hair is getting so long!!!
Hair so long! Hello pigtails!
Mom used a brush and put it into pigtails. (What a strange name for such a cute hairdo.)
So long brunette. Hello blonde.
So long.

My own.
Mom installed a pool in the backyard.
It is only big enough for me and four of my five favorite bath toys.
But don’t worry. I will gladly help cool you off, even if you can’t get in the pool.
Summer is awesome.
The Fourth.
Lucky for me this adorable romper fits the patriotic color scheme.
On the Fourth of July we all got dressed in red white and blue and ate hot dogs. I had to go to bed before the fireworks show, but mom said they would be too loud and scary for me anyways.
Mom and Dad said we dressed in the colors of the American Flag because the Fourth is the day we remember that once a group of very brave people declared their independence from a king and decided that liberty and freedom from oppresive government were things worthy of a fight.
So, happy Independence Day!
Ice and Skating.
I got to do something very special this morning. I went ice skating with dad for the first time!
The penguin on my shirt is also skating.
I actually skated for real. In socks.
We even did a press lift! Mom wasn't as enthusiastic about it as I thought she would be.
On the way home I heard the story of how that was the rink where mom and dad met. Sounds both romantic and cold, but I love that story now.
Hair day.
Some people would call this a bad hair day. They are just jealous.
Aquarium.
My cousin Ty had his birthday party at a place called the aquarium. It is a place with a lot of fish behind glass walls.
In the glass tunnel looking at the fish.
Cousin Ty got to put on a suit with flippers and swim behind the glass. We stood in a glass tunnel and watched him.
Grampy and Uncle Andy watching Cousin Ty.
I thought the fish were very interesting, as was watching Tyler swim, but the best part was banging my hands on the glass and shouting.
Grandma loved pointing out the fish to me.
Mom says I can go swimming at the aquarium for my birthday someday if I want to. She laughed and said that it will be the first of many things I will want to do just because Cousin Ty did it. Apparently he does some very fun things. But, for now, happy eighth birthday Cuz.
Food.
For the last couple of months mom and dad having been giving me this thing called solid food.
At first mom suited me up and spooned mushy green stuff into my face.
It was tedious and, well, mushy.
So mom decided to allow me to just eat whatever they were eating.
So now I eat awesome food like this.
And most recently, the traditional family meal, cottage cheese pancakes.
It seems natural that babies should eat real solid food with their own fingers, even if most of it ends up on the floor.
Twizzle agrees.
The good things in life.
Allow me to share some of my favorite things with you.
First, my favorite toy is my rubber duckie. He goes swimming with me, but he is an all-around good guy.
Duckie is so squishy and blue. I love him.
I love harassing, I mean, playing with Twizzle. He is the best Chocolate Lab a baby could have.
Twizzle is so patient with me.
I love to suck on my thumb. It is so great that I have two of them and that they go with me everywhere.
Seven month photo shoot outtake.
And as much as I dislike naps, I enjoy finding new positions in which to take them.
Just expanding my horizons.
And finally, I love when dad gives me pieces of grass on our hikes. Oh, well, I suppose I should say both dad and hiking are also my favorite things… but poking mom with the long grass is definitely paramount.
Dad. Hiking. Grass.
As I get older, I love discovering the new wonderful things in life. Naps, shots, and not being allowed to play with iPhones are not on my list of wonderful things, but my list is very long and growing. It is good to be a baby.
Another Month, Another Sticker.
Well, I am officially seven months old today.
I know, I know, I have so much hair for my age. Mom tells me not to be vain about it. She tells me to just focus on getting older, stronger, and wiser. Well, I am another month older, stronger and wiser today… but I still have fabulous hair.
Father’s Day.
Today was my first Father’s Day. Well, I guess it was dad’s first Father’s Day, too.
We went to Vail and drooled over skis,
I have no clue how to use these things. Mom says you need that white snow stuff first.
and ate at a Little Diner, (which is both the name and the description),
The Little Blogger made an appearance at the Little Diner. So fitting.
and then we hiked on something called a mesa. It was like a big flat table top.
Riding on dad's shoulders. Classic.
Happy First Father’s Day, dad! It was a good day, wasn’t it?
