Photo shoot of Tim

Here are the latest pictures of Tim. He's just over 6 1/2 months old now. His personality is really coming out. He loves people - laughs & smiles a lot. He's easy going and such a cutie. He's grabbing things w/ both hands now & moving, rolling and "talking" a lot. We bought a wrestling mat and have spent a lot of floor time w/ Tim. I'm sure the mat will be our "best buy" this year. He loves his bouncer and bounces like crazy. His ultimate favorite thing is looking in the mirror (at himself, then at me, then at Dad, then at himself) -- it cracks him up. He's still having trouble sitting up by himself due to decreased tone in his core muscles but he gets stronger every day. Tim rarely cries... usually just for a minute or two at night to fall asleep. He sleeps almost 12 hours (so nice) and has been sleeping through the night since he was 3 months old. (We are so lucky to have him as our son.) He just started eating solids (rice cereal, carrots, bananas). It has been fairly easy adding the solids into his diet because the usual baby starter foods are all low protein. So far, so good.
It's really fun watching Tim change lately. He's doing new things every day now.
I'm dead tired. I've been working hard and I'm so grateful for all that I have. It has been tough not having all of my free time to spend w/ Brian. That's the part I miss the most but we've been doing good at making things work. Brian is the best husband. I love him so much.











A note from Timmy (he loves typing):

Santa Cruz Boardwalk

Last Saturday, the weather was great so we played a game of pick up soccer with our friends then Brian, Tim and I went over to Santa Cruz for a quick trip. We checked out Cowells (surf spot) and the waves were awesome! I was pretty bummed that we didn't have our boards or a babysitter with us. Next time. We walked over to the Boardwalk to check things out. It was fun looking at all of the games/rides. I didn't remember the Boardwalk having so many rides...I think they must have fixed it up since I last went. It was fun. Tim was a good little guy. He wore his surfer shorts and rash guard most of the day. He got to put his feet in the sand and surf. I was surprised that he didn't mind the cold Santa Cruz water. Maybe he'll get to surf next year. :)
I've got to get to bed but I wanted to do a quick post. Hopefully I'll do better at staying up on my posts next time.
