I heart my tummy tub!

The boys with Grandma Stewart At the most beautiful place on earth - Harsens Island

Jess and Miah - AZ or bust in October!!! Yippeee


Leo and AJ - BFF's

Aunt Leanne & her boyfriend & Leo with his other BFF, candy!

Daddy & Wil at the campfire in the rain (bad parents......) Leo loves fishflies - just like mommy and daddy!


and fishing too! He wasn't afraid to touch anything....worms, minnows, fish - bring it on!






Wil in his tummy tub!












I got it, a smile and eyes open on camera - our big boy!
Wil's first taste of non-mommy food. Daddy gave him a bite of popsicle! Yummy - lip smacking good!

Wil hated baths........so I splurged and bought a $50 bucket. I saw a news blip about these baby tubs that are popular in Europe called Tummy Tubs, so I bought one. They were back ordered and it took a month to get it, but our extravegant bucket arrived and Wil loves it! He doesn't scream - it's amazing! If you need an idea for a shower gift or have a new little one, I highly recommend it - even though it is just a fancy bucket (can you tell I'm cheap?) http://www.bathedwithlove.com/ Just had to share these cute pictures.....as well as a couple favorites from our trip to MI, in case you don't want to sit through the whole slide show :-)
