Jumperoo Action Shot

Pic of Raina bottoming out the Jumperoo! Go get 'em!

Slumber Party

Aunt Jackie and Uncle Andrew lost power at home and spent the night with us. Raina and Ashlyn had a great time in the bath tub chewing on rubber duckies and eating suds.

Jumperoo!

We got Ray a jumperoo off the listserv for her 6 month birthday and man was that a good buy. Here's a pic of her enjoying newfound vertical freedom.

Laundry Basket

Play time in the laundry basket. I think this look is one of disapproval.

Party Time

Mom and Dad had some folks over for a drink and some socializin'. Ventured out with babies to Good Stuff and everyone was sweating profusely.

Nap

Raina has been a little cranky with tooth number two. Dad spent 30 minutes getting her to take a nap Friday afternoon with ultimately positive results.

Raina napping on the boppy pillow...

Flower Power

Mom took some pics of Raina with her new headband from Jess and Uncle Nicholas. Precious. Thanks guys!

Aunt Jan and Uncle JEK

Uploaded the rest of our pictures from the picnic in NY last weekend. Raina asked Mom and Dad to post this neat one of her, Aunt Jan and uncle JEK.

Pony!

Today was Western Day at school! Raina wore her overalls, bandana and lasso and had her pictures taken with a pony. Here's a shot Mom snapped...eventually we got some smiles from our little cowgirl.

New York

Raina, Mom and Dad packed up and headed to NY for the Fiddler's Picnic. Raina met lots of people and stayed up way past her bed time. Fun stuff.

Raina

Mystery Solved!

Raina has been out of sorts the past few days. Trouble sleeping and lots of crying out during the day. She's usually a pretty happy baby. Mom investigated and found that Raina is pushing her first tooth through! Bottom right I think. Anyhow, we're fixing for a rough patch while this first one works its way in. Crossing fingers and toes that she keeps sleeping through most of the night.

Raina got a good nap today, which actually coincided with the World Cup Final in its entirety. I suppose if she's going to miss one, this wasn't a bad choice.

More Partying

Raina hung out with Ashlyn in the afternoon and went to see Grey for dinner Saturday... the life of a 5 month old!

Sweet Potaters!

Raina is now 5 months and half months old. We figure it's time to test drive solid foods on account of how she's always trying to steal scraps off Mom or Dad's plate. Here's visual evidence of how the first feeding (sweet potatoes) transpired on Friday.

Tea Party

Raina, Otto, Lothar and Penny have a tea party on Mom's day off!

First 4th of July!

Raina invited her friends Ashlyn and Grey over for a party on the roof, which seems to have went over pretty well. Borrowed pics from Jackie below...

Raina's First Run

Mom and little V went for their first run together in Georgetown Friday while Dad was stuck at work. Dad busted out early and got home just in time for a stroll around town with the fam and happy hour on 8th street.
