Laundry Day

Yesterday I was kind enough to help out dad with the lawn, but I didn’t want my mom to think that I was favoring dad so I decided that today I would help out mamma by doing the laundry. She deserves to be helped just as much as dad, even though, she doesn’t work near as hard as dad does. Just kidding mom, I know that I can be a handful, especially, while I’m teething.

I love you mamma,

Mower Baby

I can tell my dad is a hard working man and is always busy selflessly helping the good of our community. So this afternoon I took it upon myself to mow the lawn for him. It proved to be more of a challenge then I expected since I am only a pint sized baby. I had a hard time reaching the steering wheel, and I won’t even mention what I had to do in order to reach the foot controls. I hope my daddy really appreciates me helping him out because this was not an easy feat.

I love you daddy,
From baby Rogue.

Meet Skamper

This is our newest purchase off of craigslist. Isn't she cute? I know she's a little tiny but shes a big upgrade from a tent. Plus she sets up in about half the time which is a huge bonus. Some of my best memories growing up was when we were camping. I can't wait to give that to Rogue as well. Our first camping trip will be next weekend so hopefully everyone behaves!

6 Month Well Child

Today Rogue and I ventured out to her 6 month well child visit. Everything went extremely well. The doctor was very impressed when I told her that Rogue is crawling. Too bad mama isn't as impressed as the doc. Rogue has also taken to pulling her self up here and there. She doesn't do it often, but often enough. Here are her stats from this morning:

Weight: 17lbs 5oz, 50-75 percentile

Length: 27.25in, 75-90 percentile

Head circumference: 16.73in, just short of the 50th percentile.

The Zoo and a day at the beach

A couple of Thursdays ago my mom, sister in law Teresa and neice Rain all headed out for Rogue's first trip to John Ball Zoo. The weather was a bit iffy with the threat of rain but we all stayed dry. True to my style I only took a couple of pictures but Rogue did get her first picture at the statue.

My mother in law is camping at Ottawa Beach this week so on my day off last week we thought we would head out since it was so nice. We didn't make it to the lake since the water was a chilly 54 degrees that day. We didn't get rained on but there sure was a fair amount of "snow". The poplar trees are letting go of all of their seeds and there were little drifts everywhere. Made eating a bit difficult.

New Wheels part 2

I came home from the mall on Sunday to Bryan pushing Rogue around in her new buggy. I was informed that she only fell out once and didn't cry. Since the installation of the seat belt she has stayed in thankfully.

Quite possibly the cutest baby ever

O.k. maybe I'm a little biased.
