Missing Mommy

Dena has been out of town since early morning on Tuesday and has had to travel a ton recently for work. Bella, Rubbles and I miss her a ton. None of us sleep the same when she isn't here. We cannot wait until tomorrow night when she comes home and our family is together again. Rubbles and Bella voted that the "MVB" (Most Valuable Bachman) goes to Mommy (Dena).

Miss you gramma D!

6 months

It's going to get harder and harder for her to sit up straight in the chair.

Check out the Watch Me Grow page where all the chair pictures are in succession.

Family snooze

Even on hazy days, they are still good beach days in Maine.

Bella has decided that she no longer likes bottles. This is a problem considering I have to travel for work this month. Welcome to bottle boot camp kiddo!
