May - Mid June

Okay, so I'm behind (and have lots to share). As we wound down for the summer May seemed to take on a lazy tone, but we were glad to have the slower pace. June, however has been a different story!

Syd received a letter at he end of the school year for being in Newspaper.

Jud had his final 8th grade band concert before moving on to LHS Band.

Jud also received awards from his 8th grade teachers at the end of the school year.

Darren has been in Kansas the last few days trying out for the minor league baseball team. He plans to go to Johnson County Community College and play ball! We're really excited for him! He and Julia plan on moving to Overland (or nearby) in July.

Joseph is growing in leaps and bounds. It seems like he really went through a cognitive and physical growth spurt in the last few weeks!

He latches on to the silliest toys. This yellow block was a favorite for 3-4 weeks!

He's silly during playtime.

Another toy he's latched onto. He likes to suck on the ears,

He met a new friend, Isla S. He LOVED her. :) And her dog.

He's got a thing for strings right now. (And his Sissy!)

He's using the stroller like a big boy. He likes being able to look around!

He loves swinging too!

Every baby needs a little pool in the backyard so they can swim naked!

He LOVES music.

And he loves getting into weird positions on his feet.

He likes the buttons, mostly.

He's modeling part time (j/k).

We took him to the Broomfield Aquatic Park (AKA The Bay) with my New Mom's Group a couple of weekends ago. He LOVED it! He liked all the falling water and being outdoors.

Videos of JT's newest and exciting developments....

He loves holding and eating finger food. For now, they must be big pieces he can hold onto. He won't pick up small bite-sized pieces and put them in his mouth.

He loves playing Peek A Boo with the tunnel. He will stick his head in the tunnel and look for you when you disappear. In this video, the game turned into something else when his Sissy started being silly to make him laugh.

Joseph is on his way to crawling! He's just started doing this in the last few days. I expect him to be in motion by his 8th month mark on Sunday (6/19).
