~Day 2• 73: Growing up

Six months old?  No way.  This cute little man is really that old.  He had a photo shoot with uncle Nick to celebrate.  JJ wasn't in the smiling mood tho... but it was sure fun to see him.  He started getting fussy and of course I had to pick him up.  I know, you aren't supposed to rush and pick up a fussy baby, but JJ needed some spoiling from his auntie.  Sure loved getting snuggles from this guy.

We tried taking him outside. Alissa and Nick were trying different angles to coax a smile out of him.

I haven't seen any of the finished pictures yet.  But I hope JJ's shots turn out better then his dad's shot...

Today was a beautiful day.  Nick went out golfing with Alissa and John, and Jim.  The girls spent most of the day outside.  Ashton was out for a bit, but I missed the photo opp.  Brookie was borrowing her friend's roller blades and informed me she wants her own.  Not sure how I feel about that... broken bones and BrookLynn don't mix.  She has found that out the hard way.  I can see roller blades helping her meet the concrete...

No, this isn't my laundry pile.  Well, yes it is.  My sweet friend completed her project today and just dropped of a bunch of hand-me-downs for the girls. She went through her daughter's clothes and delivered them to us.  Her daughter is growing out of some things.   I'm all for hand-me-downs!  And these clothes are very cute!  Now I have a project of my own: to go through the girls stuff and give someone else some hand-me-downs.  The girls' will be very excited when they wake up!  Thanks Lorelei!
