I am starting to turn to my tummy myself, but I get stuck half way, oh it´s frustrating...


With a little help I got around...


Out in the garden in my swing playing with kitty...


I am tired, can I please go to bed...


I like my sunhat...


All set for going into the lake, everyone had to be there...


I could get used to this...

I love summer

This is the best summer ever, at least for me, so far ;) I love being at grammy's and grampy's. I have mom and dad around, but I also have grammy and grampy around. Grammy's voice is so beautiful, I recognize it straight away and as soon as I hear it I need to look around to find her. I think grammy likes playing with me and talking to me :) Good, because I love playing and talking to her too :)

All my days are filled with sleep, feeding and play. Sometimes in the garden and sometimes inside. But we never go away much... The house is located a bit away from town and mom and dad don't know that many there. We sometimes go in there just to go to town and buy things and have lunch, but mostly we hang around here by the house. It's not bad at all, the house is by the lake and has a big yard to play in. And as I told you before a beautiful labrador and a kitty is running around me :) And I have the feeling that mom and dad are sneeking in to town when I am playing with grammy...

Allie and Merc like to sleep up in bed with mom and dad

I like sitting in my new chair even if it's a bit scary

First time at the beach

Last saturday mom and dad made me go to the beach with them. They were going to play beachvolley ball with some friends. So we left Burt Lake, sunny and warm to go to the nice sand dunes. And when we got there it was so windy. Mom put up my sun tent and made everything ready so they could play. I tried to sleep in there but it was hard when you hear them play volleyball. And I wanted to go swimming in the lake!! I am kidding, it looked so cold... But the lake looks like the ocean, it's blue/green and the waves were really big. Can't believe it's a lake...

Last week I discovered books. Both grammy, mom and dad have been reading books for me before and I couldn't concentrate on it, there were so many other things to look at. But last week grammy read for me again and it was so nice, I could focus on the book and listen to grammy :) I love the book with a lot of colours!!!

I have started talking a lot now. Dad's language is the one closest to mine, I really like talking to him. I am just a little sad that I can't grab his beard anymore. But it's nicer to get kisses from him now!!!

Sleeping through the night and meeting great grand parents

Friday night, June 1th grammy and grampy had a big fund raising party. Mom went out for a walk with me in the evening and we played a bit with Allie in the yard. Then I fell asleep, mama thought... As soon as she put me down in my crib I had to let her know that there was no chance that I'd sleep when 70 guests were out in the garden. I gave away some good screams and she picked me up and brought me downstairs :) And I like parties!!! I got to meet so many people, people that I never heard of and people that I have heard of. I got to spent some time with Ann Madzka and Barb Smith :) I know they have been sending cards and gifts to me, and I forgot to say thank you... Shame on me... Even if I think that my smiles said more than enough. But I'll do it now!! Thank you for the cards and the gifts :) But mostly, thank you for letting me play with you at the party :)

After meeting a lot of people I had a late "dinner" and went to bed at 21.00 (9.00 pm). Mom must have thought that someone stole me because she didn't have to get up feeding me during the night. I slept the hole night til 6.00 am. I am a good boy!! And the last two nights I did it again.

Yesterday was a long day, we went down to Traverse City to see my great grand parents. They are great! Now I know why it's called great grand parents!!! I'd like to see them again soon. Hopefully they come up to Burt Lake and visit :) We also went shopping for a chair for me. It's a kind that makes me be able to sit up even if I can't by myself yet. In the beginning I was a bit scared but when I felt that I could hold my head it was fun.

Today I have been a bit grumpy though, I feel so tired but I can't easilly go to sleep. Mom and dad said that I haven't been smiling as much today. What do they think? I have had a hard weekend with too little sleep. Who smiles a lot then???
