Six months: July 6

We can't believe Gage is already six months. His personality continues to crack us up! Such a great baby and traveler. We headed to Tennessee on his half birthday, where we hung out with family all week in the Smokey Mountains. Here are some pics of Gage taken in our cabin. Enjoy!

Father's Day 2010

We celebrated Father's Day a day early by surprising Kim with tickets to the Cardinals game. It couldn't have been a more perfect day. A huge storm quickly came in about 30 minutes before gametime, which dramatically cooled the temperature. Before, it was 90+ and VERY humid. During the game it was a pleasant 80+ and not humid at all. Delightful!

We enjoyed the game, and Gage was awake and happy the entire time. Most of the game he just sat on our laps and looked out to the stadium! We had access to an air conditioning room during the game, which was wonderful for taking a break and feeding Gage in comfort instead of the crowded stadium.

All in all, we'd take him to another Cardinals game again in a heartbeat. We had a wonderful time celebrating Kim and just how amazing of a Dad he is to Gage... he's the best!

June 6 - 5 months old

Gage is five months today! He's now discovered his feet and tongue, likes to blow raspberries and loves to stand up when you hold him... Oh, and watch the Cardinals! Still as sweet and happy as ever!

Memorial Day - 1st swim

Gage LOVED the water! We swam with Aunt Shana and Malia & Lauryn for about 30 minutes.

F=Four months, funny giggles and coos, finding fingers to put in the mouth, food from a spoon and more!

The fourth month of Gage's life has been so fun. What a personality! He's VERY active and is rolling from side-to-side, but hasn't quite made it all of the way over. He talks ALL the time. I just don't know where he gets that from. All this month, Gage started eating cereal from his high chair, finding his thumb to suck on, laughing out loud, learning he has volume control and finally sleeping in his crib and not the baby swing - Praise God. If you haven't had a chance to meet him, his smile is infectious and sweet personality will make your heart melt.

Pure Bliss

Well, today marks my first day of full-time! It's been a fantastic 15 weeks, spent holding, loving and kissing on my G. Here's a few photos of what I got to come home to today. He was telling us quite the story when we asked him what he did today... we think he had quite a fun day!

Snuggling with Papa

Gage LOVES to snuggle with his Papa... can you see how BIG he's getting?
That's thanks to his love of eating!
