Holmes is seven months old

Another month! Holmes is eating a lot more and growing a lot more. Seemingly, from week to week he chunks out, then lengthens out! He’s inching his way around the floor and has graduated to the high-chair fixed to our kitchen island, so he has a seat at the table! Now for us to fold in the new routine of feeding him food (now that he finally gets it)...it’s on us to slow down and pack in the purées!

Celebrity sighting

  “Honey Buckets make me happy.” - Meryl

Ever since Meryl used a Honey Bucket several months ago, she’s been obsessed with seeing them. Good thing there’s so much construction in Seattle, it’s easy to guarantee a sighting. Frank, Lola, Meryl, and Holmes headed to the zoo earlier this week, where Meryl spotted a bank of Honey Buckets. The mother lode! And then she was speechless.

Pushups

Holmes showed off his pushups for Grandpa tonight. He’s twisting and inching himself around on the floor, crawling isn’t far off!

So much to see

We’ve got a lot going on here. New soccer shorts and socks for the season, a fancy coat, and her leggings hiked up above her left knee to show off her bandaid covering a scrape from falling on the sidewalk. Plenty of conversation starters:)

#loveislove

Morning cupcakes from Cupcake Royale with these ones. Meryl got The Gay which supports OutRight Action International, an organization that champions human rights for the LGBTIQ community everywhere. At Cupcake Royale for Pride Month, 10% of sales of The Gay go to Outright. #loveislove

Control is overrated

Meryl has major avoidance game...we’re exploring the world of procrastination and delay and pretty much anything except whatever she’s supposed to be doing.

Party animals

We headed to Hilltop’s annual party on Friday night, and partied till the very end! Great school, great kids and parents - we’re lucky!
