Bathtub w/ Momma

Mom decided to get in the tub w/ Raina the other night. Everyone had a blast.

Raina still hasn't eaten the rubber ducky, but it's only a matter of time given the amount of time she's devoting to the task.

Happy Hour

Happy Hour with Kate and Grey last Wednesday. Grey showed Raina how he walks. Raina lounged on Kate for a while, then crashed on Mommy.

The Wave

Raina has learned how to wave hello and goodbye. Mostly it consists of her slowly raising her arm up and then letting it down. Occasionally we see a little hand movement. It's officially our new favorite trick.

Mo' Scootin'

$300 in stuffed animals, toys, blocks, blankets, jumperoos and whatnot. Still we go after the water bottle. Babies. Anyway, full up crawl devolves in to a scoot.

Pulling Up

Eventful week. Dad put Raina in her crib for a minute to clean up the sink and walked balk in to find her pulling up on the crib rail. Guess we should've lowered the mattress a few weeks ago...

And some pictures ...

Raspberry

Raina learned how to blow raspberries from her friend Grey. Now it's all raspberries all the time.

Scootin'

Skills?

Working on our scooting skills. Lots of work to go nowhere... and then we get tired.

Jacob's Birthday

Raina wore Mommy's favorite dress to Jacob's birthday party. Lots of other kids to play with. Yay!

Around the House

Miscellaneous pictures from around the house the past two weeks.

Around the House

Jumperoo Foot Work

It probably seems like Raina is in the Jumperoo all the time. Not really, but it's still hilarious.

Granny Sweet Potato

Grandma Diane handled lunch today, which consisted of sweet potatoes. Surprise! Raina is all about it. Note we discovered that peas are not among her favorite foods. We'll revisit this issue in a month or so. Next on the list: green beans.

Story Time

Grandpa Terry broke out Mom's copy of Spooky Old Tree. Funny that he used to read Mom the same story. Here's Raina being a good listener:

Wacky Wednesday

Raina's getup for Wacky Wednesday. Mohawk with her 15 hairs is surprisingly effective.

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.
