Barenaked Lady

Obligatory naked baby photo!

Lazy River

Since her first dip in the pool, Dillon has enjoyed splashing around whenever she gets the chance. Here she is in her own backyard, relaxing in her luxurious float. She's still a few pounds too small (which is why she looks like she's sinking through the bottom). The Mohawk is courtesy of leftover sun screen.

Rash guard is a necessity for SoCal hipsters.

Sure beats Styrofoam floaties.

Punk rock and adorable.

9 Months Old!

Craig and I are already wistful about Dillon's bygone baby days. Pulling open drawers, drinking out of cups, and crawling...she is well on her way to toddlerdom!

Gigglepotamus

As you may recall, Craig and I were thrilled the first time we made Dillon laugh. Since then, the smiles and giggles are plentiful. This was an especially enthusiastic giggle session, thanks to our nanny, Adrianna, who was zipping a ball around on a string.

The Hungry Caterpillar Meets the Hungry Baby

Who will survive? My money's on the baby.

On Monday she ate through one caterpillar tail. But she was still hungry.

Independence Day (not the Will Smith kind)

We had a lovely 4th of July up in Carlsbad. We met our friends and had a picnic on a golf course. Fun, food, friends--Happy birthday, America!

The future of America!

Who's steering this ride?

Festive ladies.

4th family.

Old Friends and New

We recently headed up to L.A. to visit our friends Kurt and Tasha and their little boy, Crosby. You may remember Tasha from this page. And you may remember Kurt and Crosby from this page. Well now the kiddos are so much older and ready to have some fun!

Babies sittin up on their own.

Dillon's first meeting with Cheerios.

Why are they so sticky???

Self-Help

We are super proud of Dillon for taking the initiative to read Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. Perhaps now she will stop crying when it's nap time!

I wish this book had pictures.
