Go Bananas!

Determination

We need to teach this boy to work smarter, not harder.

What can John do now?





Make us laugh (see the plumber's crack?)




Enjoy books and food


Enjoy tummy time. He also gets up on hands and knees. It won't be long before he's crawling.







Sit up with little assistance











Give lots of love

What Elizabeth has been up to...


Making cards is my new hobby. I find it very relaxing. It's a nice creative outlet. Also, it's a good way to recycle old cards and other cute things that I would otherwise throw away. People will probably find it more meaningful than my $.50 DollarTree cards too! lol



My new meal system is that every week I will make something Mexican, Asian, Italian, All-American, and Seafood. Those are our favorite types of foods. This prevents me from getting in "cooking ruts". Pictured is some sesame chicken I made.






Last, but not least, I've been trying to keep up with photography and blogging (although, it may not seem that way). My new resolution is to work on pictures a little each day, so it's not so overwhelming. I've been editing, deleting, and framing. It sounds like an easy task, but it's one I tend to procrastinate the most. Instead of scrapbooking the traditional way, I have decided to do online scrapbooking. It's more practical for my situation. The book will be similar to a year book...but nicer.



John's Well Visit


At John's well visit, June 23rd, he was 19 lbs 10 oz. and 27.25 in. They said he's very healthy. He received 4 immunizations. He spiked a small fever as a result, so this picture is me trying to cool him down with a wet cloth.

Father's Day


We didn't do much for Father's day. I made a meal of his choice and we just relaxed for the rest of the day. I think he
enjoyed it.
