Say Hello to Our "Little" Friends

We spent our Sunday morning playing with Lauren and Sam Little and Mer had a great time. The girls were so generous with their toys and did a wonderful job of sharing with "Baby Merritt." Thanks to the Littles for lots of fun!

Summertime and the Livin' is Easy

Merritt has been having a wonderful first summer-- lots of morning walks with Jessie, hanging out in her baby pool and great times at the lakehouse with Hoop and Bobbi (Eric's parents).

Look who can sit up like a big girl!

Highlights from NoCal

I wasn't the best picture-taker on our Sonoma/San Francisco vacay, but here are a few of the highlights.

Merritt's Weekend with the Ingrams

Eric and I jetted off to San Francisco this past weekend for fun with family and friends at Joel and Anne's wedding (pics from our trip to come!) while Mer enjoyed a great time with the Ingrams.

More Fun with the Ingrams

All guilt over leaving Mer for the weekend was alleviated when I saw the pics-- this is clearly a happy, healthy baby-- thank you Ingrams!

A Memorable Memorial Day

We celebrated the holiday weekend out at Kelli and Brad's farm in Sealy and Mer enjoyed her first time swimming, first in the baby pool and then in the big pool!

Mer wasn't the only one having fun-- Jess loved being a farm dog and she wore herself out (as noted by the slobber she's covered in). Here she is taking a much-needed break in the shade.

Jessie's Silver Lining

We tried out Merritt's high chair for the first time this weekend and Jess quickly caught on that under the chair is THE place to be. There's not much hitting the ground yet, as Mer is still just sampling some oatmeal, but I think Jess is finally starting to see the silver lining on this whole new baby thing...
