June is Bustin' Out All Over!

We had a busy month of June! We celebrated Grandpa Wolfe's b-day, Allegra's baptism, Leo's first Father's Day, and even had a day of "firsts" with Mommy/Baby yoga and swimming in a "big" pool at our friend Kristin's house! Allegra loves the water, so getting into an actual pool was no big whoop. :) A couple of times during June (at age 6 mo.), she really surprised us! On Father's Day, she started babbling "da-da-da-da." Coincidence? Maybe so! And during yoga, she got in "down dog" on cue! Granted, it's one of her favorite positions when she's playing on the floor, but it was very timely (and adorable!) nonetheless! We're looking forward to more summer fun....

May Day, May Day

We were busy in May! We celebrated cousin Jakob 1st b-day and cousin Ben's 4th. The following weekend was Mother's Day, which was special for all 3 of us! Then it was Leo's 35th b-day, which included lots of celebration and surprises. :) For Memorial Day, we went to Celebration at the Station for live symphony music and fireworks. Allegra handled all the excitement pretty well, but the canons were a little much! She turned 6 mo. at the end of May, and we're constantly amazed at her changes.....She's quite the chatter box and LOVES to roll around all over the place! She sits up well and is grabbing at everything. We are blessed to have such a happy, healthy baby! She's now 14.5 lbs and 26" tall!

Allegra in April

OK, I'm going to make a consorted effort to do a new blog entry at least every other week....So I have some catching up to do! April was beautiful, and we were able to spend some quality time outside as a family. We were in Marshall for Easter, where Ben and Jakob hunted for eggs and shared some w/ their little cousin, even though she's a girl!
