cole's starting to get around...




but he's still pretty happy just sitting.

fun {and not.so.much fun} with food

mclayne having fun with grapes...

cole not having fun with nectarines ... i hope this is the only thing he's allergic to!

when it's too hot to go on a walk...

a bit crowded, but fun for all...we'll save the walk for tonight!

BEAR LAKE

this year was the 30th annual stewart reunion. i was once again solo with the two kids for most of the trip so it didn't feel like too much of a vacation. luckily ryan was able to make if for the last couple days and provide proof to the extended family that i really do have a husband. the weather was beautiful and the food was great. mclayne rode on a jet ski for the first time and my arms are still tired from all the volleyball. wow...30 years!

roley poley coley

cole had his 6 month check-up today...it was so traumatizing. cole fell off the table while we were waiting for the nurse to come in with the shots. direct hit right on the forehead! the doctor ran in and checked his eyes and limbs and we put an ice pack on it. everything looked ok but cole just couldn't settle down so the doctor told me to watch his pupils for dilation and his soft spot for bulging. poor cole...i feel terrible. given the state he was in, he handled the shots pretty well. i pinched mclayne's leg buckling her in and cole started crying when i put him in the car, so i drove away with two SCREAMING kids. not fun.

he is still average across the board...well, except for his looks, which are clearly above-average;)
weight:17 lbs 6 oz...50%
height:26.25"...48%
head:17ish"...50%

now we (me,mclayne,cole) are off to utah. unfortunately, ryan is staying behind... with a loaded gun for all you would-be criminals!

fun with mosaics

i am loving these mosaics...so many fun applications! a picture of the birthday girl made from pictures or video from the party or a mosaic of the kids made with pictures of just them + ryan for fathers day...pretty neat!

cole's rolling

well, kind of....
last night mclayne yells, "cole rolled over!" i peaked in from the kitchen and got all excited because he had gone from his back to his stomach! then i noticed some suspicious red marks on his side and asked mclayne if she had rolled cole over. "i did" she was still pretty proud...of herself!

i have a feeling cole is teething...what do you think?!
this is cole after about every meal...these days he has at least 8 ounces of milk/formula four times a day and cereal once or twice a day. he also only poops twice a week...i can't figure out where it all goes!
mclayne on her way to swimming lessons this morning

mclayne has the worst "chandler syndrome!" when she smiles in front of the mirror it's okay, but when it's for the camera, who know what you're going to get...
