Summer Fun

Mama and Danika's favorite spot

Hi guys! I'm 7 months old today! 

My new ladybug float

My new cherry bathing suit! 

I am a HAPPY baby! 

Wow! I cannot believe Danika is 7 months old... I have NO Idea where my little bug that couldnt lift her head off my shoulder went! She's so big now! In fact, the swimsuit I bought her for Easter has already been outgrown and we're on to an 18month swim suit with just a little room to grow. 

Nate insisted on purchasing a floating ladybug for Danika so she could hang her feet in the water and kick and be pushed around in the water- the pool was a bit cool so I think that kept her from truly enjoying her new toy, but it was fun for us! 

Danika is truly getting to be one mobile kid. I set her next to the boppy and heat some water in the microwave- i turn around and she's 5 feet from where she started! She's rolling and rotating and pushing and wiggling to where she wants to be. SHe's SUCH a happy baby and truly a blessing. I'm getting a bit camera happy being home with her all day. 

We have so much fun- okay, MOM has so much fun hanging out with Danika. We play and sing and dance and cook and shop and nap and start all over again! We went to Sprouts to grab some veggies yesterday... Mom is learning her lessons... Danika was sitting in the cart, and before i knew it, she had definitely grabbed a tomato from the bottom row! WOOOPS! I fixed them before we had tomato sauce every, but just as I had started pushing the cart agan I realized Danika had grabbed the produce bags and was happily pulling a trail of them as we walked. 

SHe's quite the character :) 

We have our first mommies play group from church tomorrow, so we'll update you soon! An Ari and Nate update- Nate had an interview with Vail Mountain Resorts today- he was one of three candidates- say a prayer this one comes through, and if its not "the one" that something better will be here soon! Ari and Nate are holding the biggest loser competition- Ari has lost a total of ONE pound, Nate has lost 7- yeah! More importantly, Ari's muscle memory is coming back and she's running 2-3 miles daily now- I'm getting back into the groove! Anyone up for running a marathon with me?! Ari and Danika are heading to North Carolina to see her big sister, Victoria, get married! YEAH tori!
