6 months

I can't believe June is already 6 months old! Man.... time has flown by. She has brought so much love and laughter into our lives. She has been crawling for over a month and has started solids this week.I am so glad to be her mom and look forward to many more milestones!

She loves to explore... this girl wants to look and touch everything.
She puts every single object into her mouth, even if it is a stranger's finger or the bathroom floor...(don't worry, i keep it clean).
She loves to blow raspberries. She does it all day long, and by the end of the day, the front of her shirt is soaking wet.
She always wakes up with a big smile on her face and loves the morning she gets to spend in mommy and daddy's bed.
She loves her baths and can't be contained, so the baths usually last about 5 minutes.
She likes to play with wires and usually things she is not supposed to be playing with(phones, computers,ipads, and remotes).


She hates being contained when she is in an exploring mood... that is not the time to get a cuddle in.
She hates getting out of her baths... not because she is cold, but because she wants to play more.
She doens't like when you take things away from her that she really wants to play with(computers, amgazines, ipads, remotes).

She gets mad when she realizes that she can't climb the stairs yet... she tries to pull herself up on the bottom stair and gets mad that she can't get up.

We enjoy every minute with her and can't wait to watch her grow every day.

California Girls

 Last week June and I visited my sister, Stephanie, in California. We had such a blast!
You are probably wondering what that big, orange pumpkin is in doing in the background? It is a hot air balloon and was supposed to be avialable giving out free rides to the people who drove around for twenty minutes trying to find it! Sadly, when we arrived  with our carful of kids,the winds were too strong to take the balloon up. We were all pretty disappointed, but there was a playground nearby and we all played around for awhile.

 We also visited Pumpkin City! It was a fun little place that had rides and a circle full of pumpkins that was too picturesque to pass up. We had a lot of fun looking at pumpkins, taking pictures, and riding some rides! You will also notice in EVERY picture, June is not smiling once! She was having a fun time... I swear!

We had a fun time at Newport Beach. June LOVED to put het feet in the water and play in the waves! It was such a beautiful beach and we had such a great time! That would be June's first visit to a beach and I would say it was pretty successful!

 We got to go to the pool too. My sister has a pool about 1 minute away from their house. June loves her baths, so you all know she loved the pool too!This was her first pool expierence, so i am so glad that a lot of her firsts are going well! She loved to splash, eventhough it got all over her face and all in her mouth, she didn't seem to mind. 

I want to thank Steph and Blake for making it such a great and fun trip! I really appreciate everything you guys did to make the trip so much fun for us. I also want to thank Evy, Dane, and Grant for being such great cousins and taking such good care of June! We miss you all so much and can't wait to see you again soon. We love you!
