My First Vacation

Mommy and Daddy took me on my first vacation on June 26th, 2010. We went to Palm Desert for 4 days. We went with Nino Matt, Auntie Shelley, Ryan, and Kevin. We had so much fun hanging out in the pool. It was very hot at 109 and 105 degrees, so we had to stay cool with the a/c and the pool. It was a nice relaxing getaway!

New Milestones - 6 Months to 7 Months

I'm 7 Months old today! This past month has been filled with first's. I rolled over for the first time, I was bapized, I now sleep in my crib and in my own room. I'm wearing 9-12 month clothes because I'm a big boy. I love to look at myself in the mirror. Although I'm not crawling, I do like to use Mommy as a jungle gym and I climb all over her. I am resourceful when trying to get around to play with my toys. I say 'dada', although Mommy and Daddy aren't sure if I'm just babbling or if I am intentionally saying 'dada' and 'daddy'. Daddy likes to think it's intentional. Since summer is upon us, we are all looking forward to spending time in the pool and bbq'ing with family and friends. We are also going on our 1st vacation next week - I'll keep you posted on our adventures.

Sleeping like a baby

I'm a big boy now and I sleep in my own room. I actually sleep longer and better, since I don't have to hear Daddy snoring. Mommy keeps the shades drawn, so the morning light does not wake me up and I sleep until 6am at least. When I was in Mommy and Daddy's room, I was up at 5am, as soon as I saw that morning light. I still wake Mommy up to feed me in the middle of the night, but I'm trying to break that habit too. I'll get there Mommy, don't worry.

Now that I am rolling over too, Daddy found me in a different position this morning when I woke up. Oh boy, so much fun!!!!

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.
