Snuggling up with my Rookie bear from Grammy.
Time to wake up and stretch out a bit.
We were only at the hospital for 30 minutes, but Dane goes through clothes quite frequently these days. He's getting known among our friends for his not-so-quiet accidents. Thus, the two different outfits in pictures taken only minutes apart!!
Our sweetie was pretty exhausted after we played in an all-night outdoor grass court volleyball tournament last night. He did sleep a little in his playpen next to the courts, but not his usual 8-9 hour stretch. Cousin Ellie will also be happy to see that Dane has taken her advice and is putting his thumb to good use!
" Daddy, this grass tickles my toes!"
We happened to look down tonight and Dane had turned himself a complete 180 degrees. He thought the little beach ball looked like more fun than the fish, apparently!
Wishing everyone a safe and fun 4th!!
Fresh from a bath, just about ready for bedtime!

Our tired little Dane patiently posed with Daddy for some Father's Day pictures this evening. He already sports his first mitt from Uncle Mark and Auntie Anna.

This isn't the greatest picture, but it shows how much Dane has grown recently. Between his added height and weight, his feet now easily touch the floor in the Jumperoo! (See previous picture from May 21st post.)
"I see you!!"
