Summertime fun!

We are having a blast so far this summer....I can't believe that a month is already gone. As soon as school ended, Tommy and I headed up to Nashville for 10 days to visit and for his baptism. He had so much fun with all of his cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, godparents, etc! The baptism went really well and our close family friend Father Mark Beckman performed the ceremony. Tommy continues to be a great traveler so everything was smooth sailing on our trip. Everyone was impressed with how easygoing and happy Tommy is. Makes me wonder what we are in for in the future....

Once we got back, Tommy got sick for the first time but just with a cold. It brought a few rough nights but he still smiled all day, even with virtually no sleep. Mommy did not have the same happy smile on her face. But he is on the mend and luckily it happened between trips.

As far as milestones, Tommy is sitting up easily on his own now. He can also move from sitting to his tummy although it isn't the most graceful move ever. He can roll over both ways and is starting to move a little but I wouldn't call it anywhere near crawling. He has started eating solids and has made it through all the veggies. Now we are moving on to the fruits and those are going over much better than the green stuff did! Still no teeth, but as you can see below, he puts everything in his mouth, including beer bottles. Don't worry, we only let him have them when they are empty, but he LOVES them. Yes, no paternity test needed on this baby.

Our big news here is that we are moving. Our house has been on the market for over a year and finally sold a few months after we listed it with a realtor. We'll be moving to the other side of the river in Jax which will cut my commute time down from 45 minutes to about 5. We will be a lot closer to all our friends and to the city, better shopping, church, etc. So with our travel and a move on July 14, we will have a busy summer!

That's about it from us, so here are some pics from our Nashville visit. I'll keep 'em coming as often as I can!
