David's friends

David is a pretty popular guy these days, here he is with some of his friends:

Brigit, David and Adrianna, he was enjoying the attention of the girls.

David and his buddy Ben, we try to get the boys together every week!

Cameron has joined David and Ben on play day a couple of times, he is about a month old here.

Amelia is David's youngest friend, we sure hope that they get along as they will be seeing a lot of one another.

Madison and her family recently moved here from Texas, we have enjoyed visiting.

Not the best picture, but David and Ava got to play by candle light during a recent storm that took out the power.

Here are David and Maia ready for a run, maybe even more ready than their moms!

6 months

I can't believe David is already 6.5 months! Time really does fly when you are having fun and watching someone grow. We had his appointment when we got back from our trip last week, he weighed in at 17lbs 12oz (49th percentile ) and was 27.5" (80th percentile), so long and thin. The doctor thought he might thin out even a bit more because he is very active. My friend Kelly just had her baby, Amelia, two days ago, I got to go to the hospital and visit when she was just a few hours old. Though she was a pound smaller than David I hardly remember him being that small. David and Amelia will get to meet for the first time on Sunday, which will be a lot of fun.

Trip to Maine and Massachusetts

We took our biennial trip to Maine and Massachusetts last week. For me most of the trip was work related, I was teaching at the Annual Course in Flow Cytometry. On our Wed afternoon off we visited the Maine Botanical Gardens. It was a nice day and the gardens were really pretty.

Here is David ready for the banquet dinner, trying to fit in:

He had to inspect this new type of food:After almost a week in Maine we drove down to the outskirts of Boston to visit my family. My mom had been visiting my Grandma so she got to see David for the first time since he was 3 weeks old:

Here is David with his Great Grandma:
Here are my Aunt and Uncle singing David fun songs:

David visited a very fun park for the first time, he thought it was great fun:We took the train in to Boston and visited the aquarium, David really enjoyed watching the fish in the big tank.

Denver

We decided to drive up to Colorado for Memorial Day weekend, David's first trip out of state.

One of our first stops was the Broncos' Stadium:


We took a tour of the stadium, which I highly recommend. David tried out of of the box seats, he will be pretty disappointed in the seats for his first real game I think:
Of course David and Robert had to get matching Tebow (Broncos future quarter back) jerseys:
On Memorial Day we participated in the 10k Bolder Boulder, along with about 47,000 other people! David thought it was a cinch and fell asleep on mom's back for at least half of it:
We even saw Santa! There were some people in costumes doing the race, lots of people in their yards cheering, and quite a few garage bands playing along the way:
The finish line was at the Colorado university stadium, this is the only race I will ever do where there are this many people cheering at the finish:
Robert and David happy to be done and enjoying a pretty day:
For more excitement, when we got home we decided David was ready to start food. First up, avocado:

This pretty much sums up what he thought, he only ate a couple of pieces, the next day he was a little more interested.

Kite Festival

We took David to the Kite Festival in White Rock last weekend. Here are him and Daddy getting ready:

My favorite kite:
This was the first time that David got to play in the grass and he loved it:
He is getting so strong!

Just adorable!!
He is starting to try to climb out of his infant tub, so we are moving on to the "big" tub. He loved the duck family:
My latest carrier is a new wrap, I'm still learning how to wrap, but I'm getting faster:

Update (I'm not good at titles)

David, with Daddy's help, got me some pretty flowers for Mother's Day (this was a couple of days later, somehow I forgot to take a picture).
David was helping me in the garden and decided he wanted to play. He pulled off his sock then twisted so he could get his toes in the dirt, such a boy! I have several types of tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, mini bell peppers, watermelon, and cantaloupe growing.
I had bought this diaper off of Etsy before David was born and he finally fits into it, adorable!
Shana and I took the boys swimming last week. They may look shy about it in this picture, but they seemed to feel right at home.

So many pictures, so few posts!

4 months old already, he is getting big so fast! At his Dr.'s appointment he was 15lbs 4oz.

Cuddling with mommy

These overalls were made for baby Robert by his Grandmother, we think David is a SUPERBABY!
I went on three trips when I was pregnant, I got this shirt for him a year ago:

David really loves his daddy:

Trying his hardest to fit into dad's hat:

Getting ready for Kelly's baby shower, he loved that balloons:
Kelly is 30 weeks pregnant and excitedly awaiting her baby girl:
