Today was a blessed day!

I was baptized today at St Kilian Church in Mission Viejo. My Godfather is Matt Risk and my Godmother is Elda Prieto. Mommy and Daddy chose these special people because they are their best friends and they knew they would protect me, guide me, and love me like their own. It was a very nice ceremony and I loved the water bath. I did not cry at all. After the ceremony, we had lunch at our house. Overall, I had a great day and I was very happy being showered with love by my family.

Happy 6 Month Birthday Palmer!!!

Today is my 6 Month Birthday! I've been alive for an entire half a year and boy, what a wonderful 6 months they have been. So much has happened to me and I've grown and changed so much already. Every day I make Mommy and Daddy so proud of me, with all the I have accomplished. I can play, talk (even scream sometimes), laugh, sing, stand, sit up by myself, and jump. I even have 2 teeth. Mommy says I'm silly because I pretend to cough and sometimes I give them a fake laugh. I'm just a ham!

This month alone has been filled with many wonderful adventures too. I went on a ballon ride, watched daddy surf at the the beach, went swimming, attempted to eat food for the first time, visited two different Arboretums, went to the Nixon library, visited Grandma Lu's work and Grandpa John's work, and had two playdates with my friend Natalie. I think we've done more this month, then all my months combined. Together with last months visit to Disneyland and the Getty Museum, I think I've done a lot for a 6 month old. I love going on adventures with Mommy and Daddy. I can't wait to see what we do next!!!

My 1st Tooth

My 1st tooth finally popped up today. I was in a lot of pain yesterday, so Mommy and I were both glad that my tooth finally cut through the gums. I have a 2nd tooth that it just about to cut through too. It should come up any day now. I'm going to look so cute with my new teeth.

You can see my 1st tooth broke through and #2 is just days away from coming out too.


Look at my teeth now - June 15th, 2010

Happy Mother's Day Mommy!

Today is Mother's Day, but we've been celebrating all weekend. Last night Daddy made mommy pasta and sausage, with gorgonzola cream sauce. She loved it. For dessert, we had chocolate covered strawberries. This morning, we made Mommy crepes with fresh strawberries and powdered suger. She said it was yummy. Then we gave her a card and flowers. Daddy helped me write my name in the card. She was really impressed. I love Mommy so much, so I am glad we get to dedicate an entire day to her. However, I pretend it is Mother's Day everyday and that I why I always flash her my smile.

We're going to get ready now to go have brunch at Grandma Lu's. This afternoon, we'll spend the day with Grandpa John's family at Mom & Pop's house. How fun!!! We also celebrated Mother's Day with Grandma Katy and Grandpa Al on Thursday night. Boy, we really have been celebrating all week.

Happy Mother's Day to all Mommy's out there. Even though your kids may not tell you, they really do appreciate ALL you do.

I love when daddy is on vacation!

Daddy is on vacation again this week and we have had a week of adventures. Today we went to the L.A. County Arboretum. It was so big. We got to see Peacocks up close. Mommy's favorite part was the orchid greenhouse. Daddy liked the tropical greenhouse that had the cool mists systems. He wanted to keep going in there to cool down. My favorite was the waterfall. I love my adventures with Mommy and Daddy.

My 1st Meal - I'm still undecided?!?!

Mommy and Daddy fed me organic rice cereal today. I'm not quite sure I like it? It was very different to eat from a spoon. "C'mon Mommy, I was too hungry to eat a little here and a little there." Mommy says that practice makes perfect. Maybe tomorrow she'll try again...when I'm not starving.

My 1st Swim

Today I took my 1st dip in the spa. The temperature was perfect and the weather outside was warm. The sun was shining brightly, so I had to wear a hat and my rashguard. I'm use to taking baths in water and I'm naked when I do that, so it was weird to be in water fully clothed. I quickly got use to the water and I splashed all over Mommy and Daddy. They helped me swim all around the spa. Mommy says we'll be going in the spa a lot this summer. I can't wait!!!!
