First Fourth

It finally feels like summer - and not a moment too soon, since it's the 4th of July already! Amita was sporting her red, white, and blue today. The hope was that it would distract her from her second tooth (which has not quite yet poked through, but is making its presence known). It wasn't as much of a distraction as we would have hoped. But we (finally!) got her to take a nap this afternoon and when she awoke, she was all smiles and even a laugh. We all know what a joy sleep is now-a-days!!

We have been busy with our every day work and life, but also doing several projects in the yard (not to worry - those photos will be in an upcoming post!).

This was the first year we spent 4th of July at our house (we were in Minnesota last year) and we spent last night on our screen porch watching fireworks in our pajamas. We could see 6 different locations of fireworks from our vantage point, as well as fireflies all over the yard. It was a gorgeous and relaxing night. We'll see what the 3rd and 4th bring in terms of free entertainment!

And now what everyone is waiting for... a whole bunch of photos!!!

This is Amita in her fancy flip flop outfit from Uncle Dave and Aunt Sandra. The amazing thing is that Daddy was able to dress her up in this (fuzzy head all the way down to the cute cork flip flops) all by himself!

Amita chillaxin' in one of her summer ensembles. It has been VERY warm this week!

Our future engineer. This little number followed Grandpa Morehouse home from the gift shop at Tech.

Amita has discovered her feet and takes every chance she has to play with them. It's cute as shown below... but not as cute on the changing table...

After bath time in her froggy towel.

Baxter taking advantage of an open seat in the house.

Putting in some tummy time. Amita has started to sporadically roll over to get at toys. I have a feeling it won't be too much longer before she really gets moving!
