New Robe

Check it out, there's a dinosaur on my head (x 3).


Aaand we're done.

Happy 4th of July!

A few pics from this morning. We're going to a few other events today, so I'll probably post more later.

Sitting still for 2 seconds.

Getting ready to take off.

Deciding if the green stuff would make a good snack.

It was about 104 outside on Saturday afternoon so we spent most of the day hanging out at Grammy and Grampy's house.

You got a little something on your face there, Grammy.

Hanging with Rolo the (teeny tiny) dog.

On the Move!

Here are a couple of short videos (morphed into one) of our little crawler. He figured it out overnight. One day he was stationary, the next day this:

Pools and Popsicles

...or How to Stay Cool in Texas, by Amery.

Don appropriate swim gear.

Grab your inflatable duck.

(BTW, the nose scrape is his very first learning-to-crawl rug burn. I fear there are more incidents like this to come.)


Drink plenty of ice water.

Keep the sun off with papa's hat and consume as many popsicles as you can get your hands on.

It helps if you smear the popsicle all over your face and torso.

Nine Months

Amery is nine months old today! We did a little photo shoot the other day to show of his Husky pride. He looks good in black and gold. Maybe we have a future Michigan Tech alumnus on our hands?



I love the leg chub!


You're not a true fan until you wear your mascot's name on your rear end.



Everything was going really well. He was totally into the shoot until...



Hey, what's that thing hanging off the camera? That looks fun and tasty.


Camera strap discovery trumps remainder of photo shoot.

First Fathers Day

A few pics from Sunday. We spent most of the day hanging out around the house and playing.


Learning to crawl on papa.


Snuggling the Boppy.


We're trying to teach him to clap. He either doesn't get it or doesn't care, because he just laughs at us and tries to chew on our hands.


When you're learning to crawl you bump your head from time to time.


Forget this crawling business, I think I'll just stand.

Egg Fail

This morning I tried giving Amery eggs for the first time. Well, really it was just the yokes because "they" say babies shouldn't have egg whites until they are 12 months old. He's not a fan. I can't blame him, really. I have been known to discard the yoke from a hardboiled egg if I feel the yoke-to-white ratio is too high for my liking.
