Some rare pictures with just Melanie and Mom on the 4th. We got to spend a lot of time together the last few days because Dad had his first day back at work from paternity leave this weekend and dad slept all day to be ready for work at night. His second night back, he already got called off at 11:30 pm and he took it and came home! Even though Melanie was up from 4:00 a.m. - 5:30 a.m. the next morning... Must have wanted to play with daddy.

My first 4th of July

I am really starting to love my new Jumper that I got for my baptism from Uncle Darren and Aunt Lindsay. I am starting to learn how to push the buttons to make the music play. I still don't understand that I can jump up and down yet though.

And I love to gnaw down on it too!

Here I need some support sitting.. but...

I can sit up by myself for about 20 seconds if I am leaning slightly forward

Caught in a yawn, even though I just woke up!

These are the funny faces I make when I am feeling "real good" right before nap time

And getting ready for bed, in Daddy's favorite long-john pj's. Melanie's favorite thing to do in the last couple of days is to suck on her left thumb, index and middle finger, all at the same time. Only the left side though.

Typical Melanie face
