A little bit of salt + a lot of flour + some water + a few drops of food coloring = homemade play dough (and fun for hours)! Bella and I made some and it turned out really well. We were going to make more colors than red and yellow; but a certain little boy was needing some Mommy attention at that point. Bella took this dough out several times this past week.
Snow White has re-emerged. This costume definitely rivals Sleeping Beauty as her favorite dress-up outfit. I think Tinkerbelle comes in third.
Playing in the puddles. The sun was actually shining in this picture. It rained the previous night and Bella wanted so badly to go jumping in the puddles. I told her that we could in the morning. Well, morning came and all of the puddles dried up. No problem. A few buckets of water later and we saw the return of those glorious puddles.
A photo of Graydon - just because. This week he is tackling the skill of sitting up. He’s a bit top heavy and ends up folding in half after a few seconds; but he is just about there. I think the longest he’s sat unassisted is about 10 seconds. I’ll try to get a picture of him doing it sometime.

What do you see here? It looks like Bella in a mess of toys. It is really a picture of a bird in its nest. At least that’s what Bella would tell you. This little lady has quite the imagination - I love seeing all the different things she comes up with. There’s more to all this than meets the eye. You wouldn’t believe all of the blankets and toys she managed to stuff behind the couch.
Catching some post-bath snuggles with my favorite little boy.
I love him so much.
Poor baby had to get more shots this week. He had his 6 month check-up and now weighs in at 17 pounds even, is 28 inches long and his head circumference is 17.5 inches. That means he's gained 10 pounds and 8 inches since birth. It really is crazy how much they grow in the first year.

Karen-
I think that Graydne is beginning to look more and more like you!! :)) Sorry Andy..Miss you guys.
Hey are you planning to attend the ladies Outer Banks trip in October?
Love Bella's Champion shirt -- did she by chance get a hook up from Aunt Bia??
Mary - I'm still on the fence about the Outer Banks. I'd really like to go, but the logistics of getting there with both kids is kind of overwhelming me a bit. I also have to really look at our budget to see what we can afford.
How's that for no answer. :)
Bridget - You are correct! Aunt Bia gave them to us when she was in New Jersey last month. Bella loves these shirts. With this girl, you can't go wrong with t-shirts.
