My first trip to the beach! What a blast! There's this stuff, called sand, that is really fun to put your hands and feet in. You can build shapes in it and load it into a dump truck and then dump it. It's fun, trust me. It's also hard work. And the fresh air really takes it out of me. I took a couple good rests with my mom and dad under the umbrella. 
I'm pretty happy to be 8 months old as you can see from these pics. I've started to crawl, I have my first tooth and when I'm done sleeping I just sit up in my crib and wait for someone to come get me. I'm weighing in a little over 20 lbs. I eat pretty much everything mom gives me but puffs. Yuck! They're like styrofoam peanuts - I don't get why kids like them. I'll take cantaloupe over a puff any day. 
Mom and Dad took off from work and we went on an adventure to the zoo near our house. It was a fun time. I liked the bison - they were really big. Mom became a member so we can go back as many times as I want!
As you can see I'm doing quite well with sitting up by the 7 month mark. Don't ask what kind of face my mom caught me doing in that second picture - I don't even recognize myself! I'm tipping the scales at 19lbs. I'm quite the healthy eater. I'm working my way through the alphabet, so far I've had applesauce, asparagus, avocado, broccoli , and carrots (not to mention my favorite - sweet potatoes)!
As you can see I'm basically too big for this thing now but I still like to hang out in it and pull the frog to make music while my mommy sends an email or 2.
