6 months old!!

The time is just going by way too fast!  I can't believe it's already been half a year.  It's unbelievable...  I love to watch her grow and change and develop but I wish it would all slow down a little.

This picture was hard to take this month.  Lorelai just learned to roll over and that's all she wants to do now!!  For once I found my self saying, "stop rolling over!"

Tummy-time

Lorelai is starting to enjoy her tummy-time and loves to roll over now.  Addie loves to lay next to her and protect her.  She is very good with the baby.

Happy Father's Day!

I would like to wish all the Dads out there a wonderful Father's Day!  Especially to Lorelai's Daddy who is celebrating his very first Father's Day.  I posted some pictures below featuring Daddy and Baby.  We love you!  We are so sorry we can't all be together to celebrate with Daddy... we will all be together in Texas soon!

Just a few days old and already grinning like a proud Papa Bear

Daddy and Lorelai as we are getting ready to be dischared from the hospital

Just a couple weeks old.  She looks so tiny on Daddy's belly. 

Lorelai loves to have cuddle time with her Daddy

Shoot those bad guys!!!

Lorelai is all smiles in his arms

Playing with Daddy is the best!!  Lorelai loves to fly!!



Lorelai's very first time at the beach.  Fun in the sun!



We celebrated father's day a week early when Daddy was here in New England.  It's not the same but we had a lot of fun



Baptism

Lorelai's baptism was a small affair and we were glad that Joe was able to attend.  Here are a few pictures of Lorelai in her dress.

Fun at Babci's

Lorelai is a happy baby and was having fun hanging out at Babci and Pop-Pop's house.  She loves Babci's wind chimes!

Mommy and Lorelai enjoying the sunny day

As Lorelai gets older she is getting more and more curious.  She loved the wind chimes on the deck.

SWINGS!!

Grandma and I took Lorelai to the park today to try out the swings.  She was a little cranky on the ride there so I didn't know how it would go.  The second I sat her in the swing she was all smiles!!  We are definitely going to be needing a swing set in Texas.  She had so much fun!

She is still a little small for the baby swings so we had to stuff a blanket around her so she'd sit in it nice and safe

Mommy loves swings too!

Rolling over.... FINALLY!

Lorelai was taking her sweet time learning to roll over.  She was just perfectly content to lay on her back, babble, and play with her feet.  Finally, Grandma taught her!!!  I was able to catch it on video so I'd have proof to show Joe.  Now, she's a rolling machine!!



Bath in the sink

When you don't have a tub, sometimes you just have to make-do.  Here are some pictures of Lorelai bathing in the sink.  She loved the faucet though!

New England Aquarium

Joe and I wanted to take Lorelai somewhere fun but there aren't many things a 5 month old can do.  We decided to take her to the New England Aquarium so she could look at all the colorful fish.  SHE LOVED IT!  We were there for three hours and she never slept a wink. She just stared and stared at all the fish and penguins and seals.  It was so much fun! 

She liked the stuffed animal rays

This is the new ray and shark touch tank

She loves the tropical fish because they are so bright
