Milestone: Nate officially turned 6 months old last week! It's incredible to think that a few short months ago, he was a newborn infant who could barely keep his eyes open, and my mind traveled over the ground we've covered together since then as a family- the hard times (colic, sleep schedules, teething) and the good ones (baby's first smile, introducing him to friends and family, our daily adventures together, feeding Nate his first solids, and many others).  I have watched this li'l man grow into his personality- and his happy feet!- and it has been amazing, exhausting, scary, wonderful, and never boring! Each month I write down on the calendar my "Dreams for Baby"- this month's include a short road trip, a visit to local farmer's markets, and upgrading Nate's mealtimes from two solids a day to three- so he'll be officially having breakfast, lunch and supper like the "big folks".  It's a happy time for sure!

 

We are now fully on our way to the "Dog Days of Summer"- speaking of which, I've started a group on Facebook called "Dog-Mas", a place for my female friends who have dogs to meet and discuss our furry kids.  This Sunday we'll have our first group walk- I'm looking forward to it, and so is Mr. Beau!

 

Wishing everyone cooling soaks in the kiddie pool, sprints through the sprinkler, ice tea, floppy hats, and barefoot-through-the-grass afternoons!
