Summer Time

We are a little sad to say that summer is more than half over :( We absolutely LOVE being outside, and enjoying the nice weather (okay, HOT weather this year). We are keeping busy with biking, playing at the park, going swimming and of course eating popsicles :) Elliot has joined in the popsicle mania, so Noah has to share, which isn't always his favorite thing to do. Elliot has finally figured out that there is more to life than drinking bottles of milk, and my goodness that boy can EAT! Below is a little snapshot of the last month...

Elliot is Noah's BIGGEST fan

Summer isn't complete without a little corn on the cob
(Noah can out-eat both mommy and daddy)

Roll, Roll, Roll!

Not so sure about this swimming thing...

That's better

Yummo!

Those bananas can be a little sour :)

Elliot- 6 months old

Where has the time gone? I am 6 months old already, and learning SO many new things! I have mastered how to roll (and roll, and roll, and roll....). I also have 2 shiny new teeth (whew, those were rough to cut!). Overall I am a very happy baby. I smile almost all the time, and generally only get cranky when I'm hungry or tired. I have also finally mastered sleeping. I average about 8 hours a night, which mommy and daddy are VERY grateful for! Here are my stats for my half birthday:

Weight: 18 pounds, 5 ounces (63%)
Length: 26.5 inches (49%)
Head: 17.25 inches (49%)

I'm kind of short, fat and bald at this point, but I'm a baby, so give me a break :)

Happy baby

Getting into mischief...sorry
Noah for touching all of your stuff

the camera down and help me for goodness sakes!

Week with Grandma and Papa

Last week, Shelli was closed, so us boys packed up and headed to Grandma and Papa's house. We stayed at Grandma and Papa Ploeger's house for the week, and got to see Grandma and Papa Owens at night after work. We had a fun-filled week, but were glad to see mommy and daddy again (and I think Grandma and Grandpa were too!)
Elliot decided to learn how to roll really good, get a tooth, have a bad eczema break out, not sleep for more than 45 minutes at time, and I (Noah) got a high fever right before mommy had to leave for the week. It was also very hot the entire week (90 plus) so we had to spend a lot of time indoors, which meant we all got a little antsy :) All in all though, it was a good week. Thanks to all Grandparents for taking care of us while mommy and daddy had to work! We hope we are invited back after our crazy week....
