Sunflower butter cookies

First day of school

Starting to pick up foods.

First time with a sippy cup.  

He sits up now!  

The iPad and the cellphones are her favorite toys.  

He's quite attached to Mama.  She's quite attached to him.  

Chocoholic.  

He is starting to realize that movement is possible.  

Just starting to play together.  

Out to Zehnder's for Daddy's birthday.  

Keeping the baby busy at the restaurant.  

1 - Durham started sitting up today!
2 - Durham is babbling "mama" along with "dada".
3 - The whole family walked down to the Farmer's Market to get...ice cream.  :)
4 - Both kids were good at church!  Grandma and Grandpa Roberts stopped by to say hello.
5 - Went to Grammy and Papa's house for dinner.  Durham is seven months old.
6 - First day of school for Ainsley!  Grammy stopped by the school to help her out.  Durham had his first taste of Mandarin oranges.  He wasn't a fan.  We created Durham's college account.
9 - We go down to the Autofest with Grandma and Grandpa Roberts and the Stockmeyer's.
10 - Grammy stops over to play.  Ainsley was missing her!
13 - We go to see Bryce's soccer game.
16 - Daddy and Mama go to a concert for Daddy's birthday.  Ainsley and Durham hang out with the Storm family.
17 - Durham starts talking like a Wookie.  Now Durham, Ainsley, and Daddy can make Chewbacca noises.  He has also begun clicking his tongue.
18 - Durham started using a sippy cup today.  He struggles because he doesn't like to hold the cup (or his bottles) at all.  We will keep working on it!  We have Grammy's birthday party at our house.
19 - Grammy stops by to see her grandchildren one more time before their big trip!  Durham starts sleeping through the night again.
21 - Mama, Ainsley, and Durham go to see Delaney play volleyball.  Daddy has college class on Wednesdays.
22 - Ainsley and Mama go to watch the JV Frankenmuth football game (actually, the cheerleaders).  Ainsley tries to do toe-touches.  Ainsley also went with Mama to the dentist to see what that is like.  She spent the whole time hiding in the corner.
26 - We see another one of Bryce's soccer games.  Ainsley and Mama Skype with Grammy for the first time!
27 - Durham is starting to crawl.  He mostly tries to drag himself across the floor using only his arm strength. His objective is usually to find and touch and outlet or cord.
29 - Ainsley has "Orange Day" and picture day at school.  She is finally playing with other kids when Mama comes to pick her up.  All the times before this one, Ainsley would be sitting near the adults, just waiting for Mama to come.  She always wants to be carried out of the school because she is so tired.  We Skype with Grammy again for her birthday.
30 - The Storms stop by to watch the Tiger game (rained out).  Ainsley called Grammy on Skype all by herself.
