Let's play catch up!

Here's what's been happening this past month!
- Walked downtown to watch our local 4th of July Parade, it was 97 degrees that day...
-We went to the California Beer Fest in town. It was also really HOT that day. We met friends there & drank lots of beer. 
-I started the 4 Hour Body Diet a month ago & have lost a little over 10 lbs. I have 50 lbs more to go.
-I also joined Stroller Strides & am going to class 3x a week & walking about 4 miles on the other days. 
-Several visits from my parents & my nieces during the week. 
-Different meals I had these past few weeks. High in protein, veggies, no fruit or carbs. 
-We walked across the Golden Gate Bridge. It was Brian's first time! 
-Flora turned 6 months old!!!
-She's tried sweet potato, avocado, pear, acorn squash & peaches from our tree! I also gave her water for the first time in her sippy cup. She loves it, just like her mama ;))
-I swear she's going to pull herself up from the sitting position any day now! So we lowered her crib mattress the other day. 
-She loves Jack Johnson, The Alphabet song, standing, jumping in her jumparoo, sitting up all by herself, tummy tickles, and laughing at her puppy.
-Spending lots of time with my playgroup- wine nights, hikes through Mill Valley, & many many walks around town & lunch dates. I love these ladies & it's so fun watching our babies grow up together!

Short & Sweet!

Ok, not much time here, Baby girl is down for her afternoon nap.

She is 5 months and 1 week old, woke up with her first cold this morning (BOO!), ate solids for the first time last week! She LOVED it, we gave her sweet potato. She was grabbing at the spoon and trying to feed herself, silly girl. Sits up unassisted, loves chewing on her feet, really enjoys me singing the ABC's to her and is mesmerized by her Daddy's voice and when he sings her Grateful Dead songs. She usually calms down and/or falls right alseep. Go, Daddy, go! 

Tomorrow is the 4th of July and I have two outfits, yes two!, that I'll be dresing her up in! Pictures to come, I promise! 

Happy 4th y'all, have fun, stay cool (it's only a cool (bullshit!) 95 degrees here) Holiday with your loved ones!

















Sweet Summertime

The sun is shining and we've been soaking it all up in our neck of the woods!  From a beach party in San Rafael to kick off Summer, local farmers markets in the evening for sweet seasonal fruit and our annual art and wine festival downtown which is just a hop, skip, and jump from our front door! Here are the shots from our fun in the sun!
