Noelle-
The month of June has been absolutely crazy! I was working like mad, we had an out of town wedding, and we were house hunting every weekend in between, with you along for the ride most times. You were happy 90% of the time in the car but when you weren't, oh boy!
You had two big accomplishments for the month - sitting up on your own and actually enjoying your "solid" foods (let's face it, they aren't even close to solid...but they aren't in a bottle so we'll go with it).
You are so happy to be able to get up to a sitting position on your own and then be able to lean and grab toys and play with them, all while being able to see what else is going on around you. You love new things and tire of things quickly so I am trying to rotate toys in/out so you don't get bored. Since daycare has an entire room of fun toys and other babies to watch, I think you are a little bored at home! Thankfully, June weather was a little better and we were finally able to make it out to a park and put you in a swing for your first time! You didn't quite know what to think and kept looking at Dad for some reassurance.
We are also in a food routine and you are getting some fruit in the morning and veggies in the afternoon. You love your fruit and get impatient between spoonfuls, but you aren't so keen on your veggies. Hmmm, do you have mom's sweet tooth??
We took our first trip to Iowa for our dear friend Brett's wedding. It happened to be located just minutes from where your Granny Annie and Grandpa Al keep their boat. Since I was in the wedding, I was pretty busy with events during the weekend, but your grandparents were thrilled to spend so much time with you while we were away. We also went to their boat to hang out for a while and you were intrigued by the water. We didn't go for a ride, but we will next time!
Well my love, I continue to be amazed and amused by you every day. I know there is so much more that happens in a month because you are constantly changing. We hit the big stuff in this monthly letter, but it's really the day to day little stuff that warms my heart - your smiles in the morning, your babbling and laughing during the day, reaching out to me when I come to pick you up, and the sweet sounds you make while sleeping. I love you so much!
Love,
Mama
