1st Vacation!

This was our first long trip away from home - 4th of July at Pend Oreille Lake. The fireworks weren't much of a hit (too much of a bang actually) but dipping those tiny toes into the lake was fun. Mallory also discovered how to dunk her face into a cup of ice water and "drink," which proved to be quite entertaining... She has just turned 7 months old and is VERY close to crawling. Stay tuned...

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words...

Mallory's first parade - the Ski to Sea parade in Bellingham.
The first taste of rice cereal with Grandma and Mom. Not an immediate success...

Bathtime is still Mallory's favorite (and cutest) time of day.

Here's Mal trying her first few bites of solid foods - sweet potatoes. YUM!
Mallory is nearing the 6 month mark and has had a few new adventures lately - most notably FOOD! I'm nearing the end of the school year and we are all looking forward to a summer filled with baby fun! Stay tuned...

4 Months Old!

Here are a few pictuers from Easter weekend. (Also Mal's 4 month birthday)

Hurray for sunny days!

Found her feet!

Mallory is almost 4 months old and the list of new things she can do keeps growing. We let her "cry it out" over a week ago. It began with a few rough nights, but now she goes down without an issue and sleeps for 11 hours or more each night. (Still eats a few times during the night, don't worry.) Her naps are longer too and we've noticed such a change in her happiness and alertness. Most recently, she has found her feet, sucks her thumb, and does what I call the inchworm crawl. :) Every day brings something new!
