Pool time!



Grandpa Bergstrom got me a swimming pool and Grandpa was so excited to get in there with me. He filled it with hot water from the house and used some cold water from outside. I did enjoy splashing around. The sun was really warm that day, so mom didn't want me to stay in the pool too long without sunscreen. Me and my sensitive skin, sunscreen bothers me too! What can I say, I'm high maintenance!

My new adventures!




Lets see...Mom captured me standing up on camera ( I was being brave and going for the 1-handed hold), I found the dog food and dumped the bowl on the floor. Lily came up behind me and helped mom pick up some food though. I like to crawl in/on things...so mom put me in the laundry basket (in my pj's) and took a pictures.

Cousin time


Here is one of Dad and his cousin Travis and me and my cousin Evan. Evan and I are only 2 months apart in age.

My first 4th of July!!



I spent my first 4th of July home with Mom and Lily. Dad had to work and mom was off from work. We spent the day relaxing and playing. Mom had to take a photo of me in my flag shirt. The 2nd photo is of me showing off my teeth, I have 6 of them now.

Wisconsin Dirt




The end of June we went on a road trip to the Wisconsin Dells. I was a pretty good boy in the car (if I do say so myself). I made Dad stop a few times, other than he had planned for. I entertained myself with toys and dirt (note photos).

We went on a boat tour of the Dells, and I was a hit there too. I jabbered the first 1/2 of the trip and slept the last half of the trip.

Cheerios



This one is self explanitory!! (PJ's again)

PJ time!



You must think I spend a lot of time in my PJ's. Well....that is true some days. I am most happy in the morning, so mom and dad tend to photograph me when I am happiest (which is in the morning! Lily likes to sleep too....she doesn't have pj's but she really likes to snuggle in bed!

Father's Day at Itasca State Park




Mom and Dad took me with them to Itasca State park on Father's day. We were hoping to spend a little more time in the water, but the weather was not that great and I was not fully cooperating with them. We did manage to get a few photos though.

Play ball!




I got this ball in an Easter Basket from my Great Aunt.. I like the bright colors and laugh when mom and dad throw it at me and it hits me in the chest. I also love my toy box (aka laundry basket)..and tip it over to dump the toys on the floor and crawl up to it.

7 months old!




Can you believe how time flies? I am 7 months old already! I don't sit very well for photos, but mom sure tries. I don't smile as much as I used to, as I am very distracted with any little thing that strikes my attention. I look still quite innocent in some photos though! 7 months was a life changing number for me. I now have 6 teeth, I learned to crawl, sit up by myself and pull myself up on items all in the same week. Mom and Dad now have to really watch me...I get into everything and I really enjoy trying to grab Lily's hair. She isn't as excited to see me, as I am to see her...perhaps she will learn to like me eventually.

Tub Time!



Mom was getting me ready for a bath and this is about the same time I learned to pull myself up. Mom was running the bath water and I was pulling myself to my knees. Mom was surprised that the crib hid some parts :) Another is one of me in the tub. I really enjoy the water and SPLASH LOTS when I am in there. Mom gets a little bit wet at times. Note the water all over my face!

Fun in the sun!



I really enjoy being outside. Here are a few shots of me in the yard, swinging, pulling grass (my favorite) and just being cute! I appear to be really bald, but I'm working on that. Yes, I am in the swing....and in my pj's. We take Lily outside in the evening, and this time just happened to be after my bath!
