Six Months Old


James is now six months old. It is already hard to imagine life without him. Although I don't consider myself a "baby" person, he is a gem. (Let's be honest, I do much better from about age two on up). Sweet, peaceable, thumb-loving, full of smiles. He now, finally, has taken to rice cereal, and also loves to chew on raw vegetables (cucumber, jicama, carrots). James has become proficient with his rolling in both directions, after a few weeks of struggling to sleep well after accidentally rolling! He just learned to say "Ma-Ma" and knows he will get my attention by saying it. He cannot sit quite yet, or crawl. But he sure loves Peek-a-boo! James is still the center of attention, and receives more abrazos y besos every day than the rest of us combined.

Lazy Summer Days



I wish I could freeze time.
I love watching my children play.




And scoot.




One of these days I will understand the rules of playing "sick."




Or sit down for an entire game of battleship.

Happy days are here.

Aquarium


We visited the aquarium.




The fish nibbled on our toes too.


It was rather fun.
