Ready to go

What happens if you hold a bike parade and nobody shows? Ok, not nobody - but only 2 members of the HOA, one pre-schooler and her mom? You get a parade route tailor-made for the pre-schooler, a $15 gift card for best decorated bike and a happy Laney!

Laney really didn't care that she was the only one - she had a blast. She still talks about it when we drive by the parking lot where we met. And hey, I got meet a member of the HOA board and pick his brain about our new neighborhood.

July 4th was the nations birthday and Alex's 7 month birthday. So without further ado - Toby pictures . . .

I chose to shoot them in his crib. As of July 5th, he'd only been sleeping in it (heck, it had only been set up) for two weeks. In addition to his very own room, 7 months has brought a big boy car seat in Mommy's car, way more solid foods, size 3 diapers and lots of toys. He is also ready to take off, as soon as he can get his knees under him and his belly off the ground.
