For Daddy's Day we went to Cannon Beach! Daddy, Mommy, Grandma, Grandpa, Tosha, and Gavin went. It was a lot of fun! Grandpa tried to teach Daddy how to fly his fancy kite but Daddy didn't do so well. Grandpa is really good at it, so I liked watching him and the kite. It was really windy which made for good kite flying.

After we flew the kite we all were really hungry so we ate at Mo's Chowder House. Daddy and Mommy made the MMMMmm, Mmmmmm sounds while they ate their clam chowder. Hey MOM AND DAD, those are my sounds! QUIT COPYING ME!

After Mo's we came home and Daddy opened his gifts. We got him cool stuff and he was really happy. I surprised him with a picture frame that had my 10 week old hand prints in it. I think I saw a tear in his eye when he saw how little my hand prints were, cuz they're big now since I'm a big boy and all.

After gifts we had a Gi-Hugey dinner feast. Steak, crab (from Cannon Beach), asparagus (yuck), and garlic bread. This time EVERYBODY was copying my MMmmmm, MMmmmm sounds.

Daddy said it was a perfect Father's Day, he really liked his gifts and spending time with his kids. Make sure and check out our beach pictures, and oh yeah, Daddy and Jake put some pictures of the storm clouds from that night up there too. Talk to you all later!

I'm 6 months old now, can you believe it?!!!  Mommy can't!  I had my 6 month check up and had to get 4 shots again!  I really hate that!  But I'm a tough guy so I get over it pretty quickly.  Let me tell you though...real men do cry!  :o)  My new measurements are 17lbs 11oz, 26 1/4in long, and 47cm head.  I went up 5% on my weight, so I'm 55% weight, still 50% height and of course still 95% head size!  I've tried all the veggies now (green beans were my least fav) and I still have applesauce and pears left to try for my fruits.  I LOVE my bitter biscuit cookies that Grandma bought me.  I'm still eating the rice cereal too, but Mommy mixes it with apple juice now.  I can sit up pretty good now and for quite awhile when I feel like it.  I still hate being on my tummy, so I usually almost instantly roll over.  Other than that I really have no desire to roll over, especially onto my tummy!  Mommy says I make lots of funny expressions and I'm a pretty happy baby.  I still love my bath and I'm still taking swimming lessons.  We went to Sunriver over Memorial Day weekend for a baseball tournament and I was such a good boy!  The weather was all sorts of crazy and I was a trooper through it all.  Now that the weather is being occasionally a little nicer Mommy has been taking me outside.  I love being outside...I find it quite calming.  That's pretty much all I can think of for now, but keeping checking back!  There's lots of pictures in the gallery for you to look at too!  Happy Daddy's day to all you Daddies!
