1st Trip to the Zoo

A few weeks ago we went to the zoo with some friends. This was Vince's first trip to the zoo! He seemed to enjoy looking at the animals, although I'm sure he'll appreciate it more when he gets a bit older. He did really like the elephants though, I think those were probably his favorite of the day.

Happy 4th of July!

We had a lot of fun visiting my family over the 4th of July weekend. He got to see and meet some of my long-time friends and played in a kiddie pool for the 1st time! There's going to be a lot of pics so get comfy (someday I'll learn to do a Picasa collage like Angela!). :-)

Taking a break on the drive to Moses. 104* in Boardman!

Happy Father's Day

Sorry I've been neglecting my blog lately! I will try to catch up and stay on top of this. :-) Brian's parents came to visit for Father's Day weekend. We had lots of fun family time playing with Vince. Here are some pics!

May recap

I just realized that I haven't included any pictures of Vince sitting up, so here you go!

Telling a story about how he learned to sit all by himself...

Sitting up like a big boy - he loves those keys!

See Mom, it's like this....

May was a big month for this little guy (for all of us really). We had our trip to DC, quickly followed by his first day of day care, he started eating solids, he started sitting up unsupported, and his first little teeth popped through. What a month!

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...

Yep, that's right! Vince now has teeth! He had a little surprise for me on Saturday when I got home from grocery shopping - his first tooth (bottom left) had popped through! Then on Sunday we noticed that his other tooth popped through (bottom right) so he had two teeth by Memorial Day! Then today when I picked him up from day care I felt his gums and his two top teeth poked through today! Wow, little man!! As you can imagine, it's hard to get pictures, but I will try.

A bottle? No problem!

I don't know that I'll get pictures, but I just have to share. First of all, Vince has really transitioned well while at day care; he doesn't cry when others hold him, he doesn't cry when other babies make loud noises or cry, and ..... HE'S EATING FROM A BOTTLE! When I showed up today they were about to feed him his last bottle so I watched. Not only did he know I was there, but I held him while they were warming up the milk. I let the teacher feed him so I could see what their trick was and there was no trick! She just held him, put the bottle in his mouth, and he went to town! He didn't stop eating until that bottle was dry, didn't come up for air or anything, just plowed right through. I couldn't believe it!! Way to go Vince! (It's about time! :-) )
