Marriott Pool

Today you went swimming at Grandma and Grandpa Barber's hotel in downtown Salt Lake. The pool was on the 2nd floor and it was an outdoor pool. Mom didn't get your sunscreen on early enough so you were getting a little red. You love to try to drink the water while sitting in your float. Dad tried to stop you, but you kept on trying.

Lunch Bunch

The first Wednesday of the Month there is a lunch for Moms and kids in the ward. Today was the first time you went with Mom. We had lunch outside and you sat and played on your blanket for over an hour. Everyone loved talking to you and listening to you talk. There were a few other babies there that played with you.

Shopping Cart

You and Mom like to take trips to Target. Today when you went, Mom put you in the front of the cart. It was fun for you to be able to see everything from where you sat.

Watermelon

Today Ayrika gave you some watermelon to suck on while you were at Grandma and Grandpa Hales house. You LOVED the watermelon.

6 Month Appointment

Today we had your check up with Doctor Later. Dad and Mom came with you this time. You got 3 shots and an oral vaccine.

Solids

Dr. Later said you needed to start eating solids at 6 months. Today you had squash and corn mix. You ate about half of the container and loved it.

First time swimming

Today Mom and Dad took you swimming for the first time at the Spanish Fork Pool. Aunt Ayrika was working as a life guard while you swam. The weather was warm, but a little windy. You enjoyed the water, and we hope you will become a water baby.

Stake Conference

Today we had Stake Conference at church. We sat with your babysitter Sarah, and her daughter Sadie. You love Sadie, and were entertained during most of the meeting. 

Keely

While at Grandma and Grandpa Hales house, your eyes seem to always follow their dog Keely. Today she sat on the couch with you and Grandpa. You loved petting her and grabbing her tail.
