I'm video challenged tonight

I can't get my videos to embed properly here for some reason tonight, but there are some really cute new ones here:

Bigger bath time fun

Sigh, remember this from February?

Look at our big bathtime boy now:

Six months old means its time for selective solids!

We started Frankie on some solids, and hauled out the big high chair, happily anticipating family dinners where everyone has their own place to sit.  The chair is completely enormous for our little peanut at the moment.

Feeding him in his little rolling chair seems to go over better:

After a few weeks with rice cereal, mom tried some pureed, strained blueberries.  Even though most of it didn't make it into his tummy, the "Fu Man Chuberry" effect was pretty awesome.

Getting sleepy...

We're experimenting with the best way to get Frankie wound down and ready to go to sleep at night.

Relaxing with mom on the couch sometimes just means a quick "breather" from the day's excitement...
 And sometimes it's time for jammies and a good sprawl out.  (Who looks more tired in this picture?  hmmm...)

We've tried sticking him in the Pack N Play and hoping for the best...but those pudgy feet are sometimes just WAY too irresistible.

Thankfully, when he finally runs out of gas he is out like a light -- for a few hours at least!

Passed out like a party animal:

Sometimes he must think he's still sleeping in the womb... all scrunched up like there's no room to stretch!  (Or, maybe he's just inventing a "dead bug" yoga pose.)

And, my personal favorite (one of the best things about being a new mom!) passed out in just a diaper with fuzzy little head on mom's shoulder:

Cute pix of the peanut

Hmm, who looks more tired in this picture???

Sometimes it still takes the "ManWomb" sling-trick to knock him out...

This baby rocks the bad-boy look

Frankie had a full day celebrating cousin Aeryle's graduation from High School!

Horsey with Grandpa Mike...

Then more horsey with Gramma Di

Tummy tickle time with Auntie K

Even though it was drizzling out, our peanut still had fun outside thanks to the cool swing Grandpa set up under the porch overhang!


Auntie K shows her pride and love with lots of hugs for her #1 daughter

And her sister Crystal too!

Happy parents enjoy a chance to snuggle while everyone plays "pass the baby"

Congratulations Aeryle!

Frankie loves his Gramma Lin & Grampa Steve...

 Happy Mothers' Day, Moms!

Weekdays at Gramma and Grampas means it's time for funny hats...

And naps passed out on Gramma's knees
 

...and of course lots of smiles for Grampa Steve, too!
