Father's Day

Unfortunately, no pics from Carl's first Father's Day. It started out with a trip to Children's Hospital first thing Sunday morning after Baby C had been throwing up for 24 hours. Turns out that she has a bad case of the stomach flu. As of today, we're on day 4 of pedialyte and Baby C is hoping to get back to mushy foods and cheerios soon.

On a happier note, Baby C did have her 9-month appointment on June 13 and she was 29.5 inches and 22 pounds: 95th percentile all around.

I'm ready for my closeup!

While in DC this weekend we discover that Caroline's new favorite thing is smiling for the camera. No matter what she is doing, you pull out the camera and point it at her and she hams it up!

New friends

Caroline met lots of new people in DC, including many next generation pals like Zoko Jr, Nicholas.

The Lips family...lots of time was spent in disbelief that we all have children now!

Strollin' for the Cure


Caroline heads to Washington DC to support her Auntie Karin, one of mommy and daddy's best friends who is battling breast cancer. Baby C rocked the 3-mile Komen "Race for the Cure" in her stroller, winding through many DC landmarks such as the Capitol and the White House. Caroline felt hot weather for the first time in the 100-degree heat.

Milwaukee: City of Festivals

Caroline enjoys the first of many festivals in Milwaukee this summer, Riversplash. She and her best buddy Max Siegel play a confined game of duck, duck, goose; she licks some corn; and shows off froggy.



Grampa Force


Oh, Baby C...Don't cry. Grampa is not scary. One day he'll give you money and ask you about stories in the NY Times.

Gimme that!

I love food. A Lot.

Happy Mother's Day



Baby C shows off her morning bed head -- it actually looks like she has hair!

Go Brewers!


Big Box Retail


Now that Baby C's days in the bucket are numbered, we take our first ride in the cart at Costco.

swings are fun



Baby C takes her first swing! You can see she's very laid back about the whole experience. Her friend Gracie K.dives right in!
