Lola Laughing at Phinny-6.5 months

Lola is becoming a very active little 6 month old. She is now able to sit unsupported and she continues to work on her grasping skills. She enjoys watching baby einstein, biting her toes, and laughing at doggies. Oh how she enjoys dogs. Our friend's schnoodle 'Phinny' is in the attached video with her.

Lola's baptism
















Lola was baptised at St. Michael's church in Gastonia, NC on June 13th, 2009. Her sponsors were Kristen MacKay of Hershey, Pa and Dan McArdle of Charlotte, NC. She was very well behaved during the entire baptism we were so proud of her. Our funny memory will be of her flashing the other family during the "dunking." It was a special day and she looked beautiful in her little dress!!!

Intro. to climbing/surfing-6 months


I inadvertently discovered that climbing rope is the perfect teething tool for babies. Who knew. All that money spent on teething rings and baby oragel...and we had what we needed right here in our garage! Dad will say she's a climber at heart-notice her affinity for carabiners in this video. I am sure he will be showing her how to tie knots very soon! At 6 months she is becoming more and more active....reaching for things with both hands and perfecting her pincer grasp. She is not yet sitting unsupported but is getting close. This morning we went for her 6 month photo shoot "fun in the sun" where she had more outfit changes than Janet Jackson. Sand in the diaper was not helping matters and we had a tough time getting her to smile. Unusual for her as she smiles 24/7. We opted for the belly surf board pose as pictured. She makes chunk thighs look good in her two piece!
