Swimming
This little girl loves to swim!
She likes to kick her feet and splash around.
She has so much fun in her floaty
She especially likes playing with her Daddy in the water.
June
Wow! I did not post once in the month of June. Mostly it is because our laptop died. Our main computer is in Christine's room and I can't use the computer while Christine is napping or I wake her up, same with at night once she has gone to bed, and those are the only times that I can get on the computer.
I did take lots of pictures throughout the month so there will be lots of posts coming soon. But here's a quick update for everyone wondering how we are doing.
Christine is 9 months now! and very good at standing. She can stand independently for about 30 seconds. She side steps while holding onto the coffee table and couch, but hasn't taken any first steps yet. I'm predicting she'll start walking by the end of July. (My kitchen usually looks like this now. All the tupperware on the floor make the best toys and keep her occupied while I do the dishes).
I got Mastitis AGAIN! (for the fourth time). Mastitis wipes me out, and steals about a week of my life. The timing couldn't have been worse. I got sick right before Jeff's birthday so his day wasn't very special, but we did have a week-long celebration afterwards, with daily presents to make up for it. Speaking of presents, I got Jeff a video camera! So hopefully I can learn how to upload videos to the blog so everyone can see little clips of Christine crawling, standing, jumping, and laughing.
After the last bought of Mastitis I decided I was done breast feeding. So I started switching Christine over to formula. It took a couple days to get her used to a bottle and the taste of formula, but then she decided that bottles are WAY better. Bottles make my life much easier.
We've started visiting the pool everyday. Christine LOVES the water.
We had a visit from Mark and Dana (Mark is Jeff's brother) and Christine got to meet her "twin cousin."
Jeff finished up his rotation at Psychiatry. It was not his favorite rotation... he definitely will not become a Psychiatrist, but he did get some really good stories. He is on a two-week summer break right now and will start Pediatrics at the beginning of July.

Surfside
It's May, and has felt like summer here in Texas since mid-February. We are also experiencing a major drought here. So when Angela's sisters planned to come out here last week, we thought it would be the perfect time to hit the beach!... little did we know that they would bring some Utah weather with them. It rained their first day here, for the first time in months. It was also rather cool-- well for Texas, it was in the low 80s.
Regardless, we decided to head to our favorite local beach called Surfside. It's not a very pretty beach, but you can drive your car right up to the ocean, so it makes it very convenient.
Christine's first reaction to the beach: "Gross! Very dirty! Why would anyone want to play in dirt?!?
Mom do you have some hand sanitizer?!?"
Though she did not really like the sand or the water which was a bit cold, we brought lots of toys that she really liked. Her favorites were a pin wheel, bubbles, and a new pink bucket
She also loved being carried by Mommy and Daddy!
We went on a walk on the beach in her stroller, and she loved when the waves would hit the stroller.
"Daddy, I'm just going to take a nap. Do you mind carrying me around... pleeeaassee?"
