More Mile Stones

Summer has had a lot of new milestones. She is sitting up. Her record is a minute and a half! She loves this new perspective and has shown a new interest in certain toys, like the rolling ball on her mirror.

sitting up...

...and falling down


On Mother's Day she sat in a high chair for the first time. She liked it!

And my personal favorite, we finally found a food she likes. Bananas!! You can just throw that rice cereal right out the window. Remember that funny face she made the first time she tried the cereal? Well she's been making it ever since. Not a fan! Today we tried bananas and she eagerly opened her mouth with each bite. And here's what's left of the banana:

First Mother's Day

Moms make for good photos. Yet another reason to love them and give them a day all their own.

" With my cous'---the beautiful Anne Ross...."

It's a Baby Party

Last week we went to a Tres de Mayo Party. Can you find Summer? (Hint: She's the one with the big smile on her face.) She is pictured here with all her girlfriends. Yes, no boys, just girls. The boys all cancelled. Too much for the boys to handle!

From left: Luna, Rose, Ava, Madeline, Summer, Emily and Larkin. Age range- 4 1/2 mos. to 9 mos. Thanks to Brenda (Rose's mom) for the picture and the great party!!

Return to Pecchetti

Mike and I returned to the seen of the 'evil doer.' Here is the evil doers cousin, also very aggressive. Let's call him Bubba...

We could not get a picture of the mean peacock because he confronted us and we had to run for our lives. I'm not kidding! Ask Uncle Mike. Arn't birds suppose to avoid people? Not this guy. He jumped right in front of us when we were trying to leave and practically followed us to the car. I'd hate to run into that bully bird in a dark alley.

Anyway, We had a very nice hike regardless of the mayhem. It was hot, but we ended with a shady picnic lunch. As you can see, Summer got a nice nap out of the deal! Thanks again to my brother for these great pictures.




Way Home!!

Swimming!

Summer had her first swim today, May 6, 2007. She did very good. No crying, probably because she had no idea what was going on. The weather was great, so we just had to take a dip.

Summer's Food

Summer was ready for her second day of eatting. Here are the photos to prove it!

Awesome Spring Hike

Summer and I took an a great hike with Uncle Mike near the mysterious Mt. Uminum in the Sierra Azul Open Space area. Leave it to Uncle Mike to find a really cool place to hike that we had never been. It was full of wild flowers, butterflies and thankfully no peacocks!! photo by Uncle Mike
