Recap of the 6th Month

Rocco loves to wash his face with a wash cloth - Correction – Rocco loves to chew on a washcloth and inadvertently it washes his face. Bonus!

Lots of time on the floor, working out those muscles, not crawling yet, but soon.  Oh, yes, and there is plenty of drool, notice the two front teeth on the bottom.

Such a fun guy to play with, other than his iron grip that holds tight, to hair, chin, nose, and anything else he can hold on to.

Can’t believe he is almost 7-months-young on Tuesday.

I’m happy to report that Rocco is now rolling over and over and over …

Cousin Michaela who spent an entire weekend making sure all of Rocco’s toys worked.  He LOVED watching her.

Bumbo inauguration



Rocco has a "Bumbo" seat.   It's soft, plyable and contours to a small body that has trouble sitting up by itself.
This is his only his second time in it.. We think it could be a winner.
Right now he's watching Janae play a competitive match of ping pong...  She of course is giving him big smiles between points.
We found that the Bumbo fits perfectly on top of a Keg of beer... coincidence?

Baby With a Side of Bacon

This past weekend Rocco and I made our way to Portland to visit family and enjoy some fantastic weather.
On Saturday we visited Lake Oswego’s Farmer’s Market, where Mark’s sister Milla and her husband Jeff have started selling their smoked bacon.  We followed our noses and found their booth.

I enjoyed a “Poca Bocca” (Italian for “small mouth”) – a yummy bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. 
P1050625
I promise I didn’t put his hands like this – he just knows a good thing when he sees (and smells) it!
We enjoyed milling around the market and were completely distracted by all of the bright, beautiful flowers.
 P1050647
Oh yes, and the French pastries …
P1050628 
and coffee …
P1050637
and Rocco’s cuteness …
P1050627 
and taking photos to document this wonderful day with those you love …

Yeah for babies and bacon -- farmer’s markets and family!
