California

We just returned from a 2.5 week business trip to California. We started in San Diego then drove up the coast to San Francisco. During this time I mastered the skill of rolling from my belly to my back and back again, and again, and again.... I've also had my first taste of baby food - bananas and carrots so far - yum! We're home now until mid-September and enjoying some much needed down time. Despite the crazy schedule, good times were had by all! Here are some new pictures from our adventures this month:

my first baby food at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco - bananas! 

the first time I rolled over from my belly to my back! (I had already mastered back to belly, so now I can roll over and over, right off my blanket - ps. thanks Aunt Barbara, this blanket is great for traveling ;)

4th of July weekend

On the 4th of July Grammy came to visit and we had so much fun! She couldn't believe how much I had changed in a month. She brought me a gift and I loved it (a really cool ball and a book) but I was even more impressed with the gift bag and crinkly paper. We took a walk, played with my toys and ate food (Grammy fed me!) It was great. And of course, it was sad when she left...

Then on July 5th we went to Katie's parent's house and hung out with Mommy's childhood friends. It's always great to get together with them! I also got to meet Mr. & Mrs. Rose & Katie's sister Justine. It was a lot of fun!

Then on July 6th we spent the day with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Jenny and Great Grandma Oma in Catskill. They too were so excited at how much I had changed in a month. I hung out on Aunt Jenny's lap while Grandma fed me, it brought back memories for her. I loved rolling around and playing with my toys and kicking the puppy :)

Here are some pictures from the weekend:
