Hey batter, batter!!

At the end of July, Jeremy got the family tickets to an Indians game.  We had awesome seats right behind home plate!  Awesome for two reasons, 1.) cool to be that close, and 2.) no one sitting in front of us and actually no one ended up being in the row behind us either.  It was a fun night, but I had to laugh because at the end of the second inning Maryn said, "Is it over yet?" We managed to make it through to the seventh inning stretch.  What's a baseball game without singing? :)

We snagged pictures early :)
Got to have something to eat!
Our awesome seats!
the girlies :)
Daddy and his sweets :)
Cormac's first baseball game!!
So to keep Maryn entertained I gave her the camera.  These were the two
she chose to include... as she calls it, "Daddy's hotel"-the JW...
And a crazy picture of herself!
She loves to take pictures of herself!  I think there were about 15 pictures
of her making faces :)

Cormac...6 months old

Six months old and by the time I'm getting this posted almost seven!  What a little cutie pie :)  At his six month check-up he was 19 lbs 3 oz and 28 inches long.  He is growing like crazy!!  So far he has two bottom teeth and two that are about to break through on top.  He is sitting up and rolling everywhere!  I've been a little delayed in starting him on baby food (mainly because I just forget, obviously he is not starving!), but we have tried rice cereal and oatmeal.  He seems to be an oatmeal fan and loves to play with the spoon.  I think before too long we'll be going for the first haircut, but he is rockin' the comb over pretty good right now :)  Sleeping is not really his thing and while that is a little rough on mommy it doesn't seem to bother him.  Cormac loves water, loves to be wherever we are, has huge smiles for everyone especially Theo and Maryn, loves his feet, and well is just a happy baby!
Let's see what this highchair thing is all about!
Oatmeal...not too bad :)
This is where it goes right?? 
Our little roller! 
So big!
Look at me I'm sitting up all by myself!
A toothy wave :)
Favorite place to hang out...Theo's bed!

summer lovin'

Just a few snapshots of summer...

Hilarious!!
Melts my heart...Theo loves Maryn!
Maryn at her first gymnastics class at the park
Our new backyard!!!  Hooray for grass :)
Evening fun at the park...
beautiful smiles :)
Determined to climb on his own
I sense some mischief in that smile :)
Big blue eyes and shaggy hair :)
Just hanging out with Daddy....next year I'll be climbing too!
Bouncing together
So glad he loves the exersaucer!
I'm not sure why I thought buying this stool was  a good idea.  Theo uses it to climb everywhere!
Nothing on the kitchen counters is safe anymore!
Silly face :)
Trying to make a silly face for Theo!

a little tradition...


When Maryn was a baby I took a picture of her on the back of the boat up at the lake.  I loved the picture so much that I knew I wanted one of Theo too.  Well, of course this summer we had to take one of Cormac as well :)  I guess I've started a little tradition, huh?  Here they are all in their hoodies, hats, and precious smiles :)

happy 4th of JULY!

With July 4th falling on a Wednesday, we were home this year for the fireworks.  It was sooooo hot that we did nothing all day, but really wanted to see the fireworks.  Jeremy arranged for us to be able to go downtown to one of the buildings they own and watch them in air conditioning...woo hoo!!  We were on the 17th floor with a perfect view!!

An awesome cloud at dusk.

Happy 4th of July!!!
Cormac's 1st 4th of July!
So excited to be inside for the fireworks :)
He didn't care much about what was going on, he just wanted the brownies :)
Our little picnic spot complete with music and brownies :)

What a great evening!!

swimming, smiles, and food at the lake :)

I've managed to capture some great photos at the lake this summer.  Here are a few I just couldn't leave off the blog :)

Watch out!!!
