Having a Dip in the Rock Pool

Taking Monte into the rock pool at Sleeping Lady. He mostly has that look, "save me from my Momma" but was a good little tike about the swim-time.

Hanging Around the Lady

Just some snaps of us from the weekend at Sleeping Lady in Leavenworth. Monte loved the big trees, new environs & continues on as a total ham for the camera.

Back at Sleeping Lady

Here we are at Sleeping Lady for our neighbor's wedding. It was just one year ago we were married here (shh...can you say shotgun). Hard to believe so much time has passed, it was great to reminisce although we missed seeing all of you!!

Attacking Mom's Coffee

Monte is getting more & more interested in new things...I think ice-coffee fru-fru drinks will have to wait a while :-)

Ray's with Matt & Camilla

Out for Sunday dinner with the Allens. We were celebrating "promotions" & taking in the view! I got inspired by the scenes of boats, sailing & ended up blanketing Monte as a future pirate. This last picture is Monte's first snap of his Dadda.

Tutta Bella Pizza Outing

We took a stroll to our local pizzeria with Monte V. "Vinnie" was already leaning over the table for a slice or two of -Za.

Visiting Cousins & New Pals In LA

Heading to California with Mom

Don't we look like such sophisticated travelers; especially getting upgraded to 1st class...yippee!

The slow onslaught of baby equipment...we are converting over little dining room to an official play area.

Wooaa, New Stuff

He gets to fiddle around with toys in his "exer-saucer" & seems to keep him very entertained to watch the world around him.

Test Driving the New Car Seat

Hard to believe but he almost graduated to the next level of car-seat. He is one big boy~ nearing 20 pounds & not even 6 months! I sure hope this huge seat fits easily in the wagon.

Story Time

Couldn't resist more bedtime pictures of Lief & Monte. A fun ritual for us!

Bottle Boy

Well, I can't say that Monte really takes from a bottle anymore. He loves to play with it more than anything. We are "working" on it but it is also just fun to watch him hold it, shove it up his nose or sometimes land it in his mouth with a big surprise :-)

Monte Gets Some Press

We are starting Monte early as a hat model seeing how our little tike has such as big yet perfect c-section head.

Swim Time!

We were at Chris & Shannon's pool club, showing off our Waterbabies dolphin dive. Lief decided we have a webbed Seattle baby after all. It is spooky just the same but Monte loves the water and is quite buoyant with all that tummy fat.

Hands...Yummy

So Monte does the two-handed thumb sucking approach. Why only suck one thumb when you can try & shove both hands into your small mouth?

Sharing a Secret

I got sort of enthusiastic snapping pictures non-stop. Lief's beard tickles Monte & he just loves it, gets very cozy & laughs a ton.

Ahh..my face

This was our last ZooTunes music venue, colder temperatures (where did summer go?) but still a great evening out. Monte found Lief's face very entertaining, pliable and Dadda didn't complain much.
