Catching Up

My goodness it's been too long since my last post. We have just been so busy I haven't even had time to blog about all the happenings! Let's start we we left off. Nolan, Clementine, Auntie Em and myself went to the Woodland Park Zoo for the very first time. Both babies loved it and even took simultaneous naps so the grown ups could enjoy the zoo too. Here is my favorite animal shot from the day. Then we drove down to Bend, Oregon to be with family as we said goodbye to Aaron. The entire Clingman clan was down there so we were able to do a little family bonding poolside.
We've spent many an hour in the car this last month so we have lots of "Nolan in the car seat" shots. Here are just a few.
And it's not just this last month that has flown by, on July 12 Nolan will be 6 MONTHS OLD...crazy!! 6 months marks a major milestone for this little guy, he starts eating solid foods which he is definitely ready to do. He gets pretty agitated watching others eat food which has forced us into hiding when we eat dinner. We decided to start get him used to his high chair since he will be using it for real very soon. Fortunately he loved it!
When he gets really excited about something he sticks his legs out straight and stretches out his toes. You can see here that he really enjoyed being up high with the grown ups.
He even did some pretend eating.
It's been a busy month for this little family and the summer stacking up to be quite busy. Nolan starts swim lessons the end of July, we have 3 family vacations scheduled, a trip to the ball park and numerous other spontaneous adventures. I'll try to keep the blog more up to date as we explore.

Oh, cutie! I love the car seat photos...and the high chair photos...everything! Sounds like a fun summer for the Clingmans! We need to reschedule some Megan/Jenny time in between all of that good stuff, too!
