Theo @ 7 Months

At Theo's last appointment he was 15lbs

Currently he loves being held, trying to chase the vacuum, snuggling with a blanket, being outside, playing with his toys, and eating real food.

 I think he also loves his papa. With Meadow in school we spend a lot of the time with just the two of us.

He gets around in his own way by twisting his body and rolling.

I'm always wondering, "How exactly did he get across the room?"

He sits on his own, but is still a little off balance.

He doesn't sit still when you change his diaper.

He likes to flail, roll and do anything but stay still.

So far he's had carrots, applesauce, sweet potatoes, winter squash, apples and blueberries. He's loved everything he's tried and always asks for more by yelling. He's still not very coordinated to feed himself.

He does hold his own bottle from time to time.

He still wakes up 1-3 times at night, but is still on his own schedule of bed by 8 and awake by 8. He takes two long naps during the day.

I love those long naps. I get a lot work done.

His hair is all even in color and length.

He still gets shy when people look at him. He will smile then look away. He's also started noticing strangers and gets sad if someone he doesn't know holds him.

The 8th Installment of a Thing We Call Northwoods New Year's Eve

Thursday I took a half day at work so we could make it up north before it got super late. When we arrived we brought in our stuff, turned on the heat and headed back into town to get groceries. We had hoped to get another rotisserie chicken, but they were out. I chose a pastie for my meal. Meadow and I went for the classic, off-brand, box mac and cheese. We made too much and shared it with Brooke. I went right to work making my ice molds. She's always making luminaries if it's freezing outside and we're at the cottage.

A 250th 4th of July in Three Lakes

A couple of weeks after we were last up at the cottage, you say? Not soon enough, we say. We assumed dinner would have already been done by the time we arrived so we stopped to eat at Culver's in Rhinelander. While we were eating, I got a text from my dad saying he was in Rhinelander with Chelsea at Urgent Care. I guess Viola had taken a hard fall. When we got to the cottage Daniel was just starting dinner.  We hadn't seen Viola since Christmas, she's a little girl now. She was super shy around us at first.  She did also just get back from the hospital. I'm not sure if I approve of fireworks the night we get there, but due to scheduling conflicts that's when Three Lakes got in their fireworks show. 2nd of July fireworks would do. The next morning Blake made us croissant breakfast sandwiches for breakfast. Then Viola and I played down by the dock. Theo would have made a good big brother. Chelsea gave her boys haircuts and even trimmed my neck hair. Every boat we own ...

A Smoky Weekend at the Cottage and a Stop at Ladysmith's Northland Mardi Gras

This summer we decided to go to the cottage any weekend we had nothing else going on. This week, due to fires in the Boundary Waters and Canada, the air quality was pretty terrible. We debated if we should still go, but it looked like it would clear up by Saturday. So we took the chance. And by terrible, we mean the worst air quality we'd ever seen. Along the way we decided to stop at John and Heidi's Happy Daze . We've passed this place probably 100 times. It was about time to stop by. I ordered the prime rib sandwich special.  Yummy. The sandwich that is. Everybody's food was really good, but Brooke's was the star of the show.  I want to get back here asap. Now if only this pesky smoke would go away.
