Another Big Day

Today, Fox got to go on more adventures. We went to Minnepolis and visited the 2007 Pride Festival (which he slept through). After that, we went to the sculpture garden, and took Fox's 5 month pictures by Spoon Bridge and Cherry, where we always love to visit (and where we got engaged). Here are some of those pictures:

Fun, games, and zoos

This week, I started a new parenting blog called Cruelty-Free Mommy. Feel free to check it out. It may or may not interest you, depending on how much you like to read people's opinions on raising babies.

Here are some pics Joe took of Fox this morning. He wanted me to post them both as proof to everyone that Fox smiles a lot.


Here is Fox wearing his super-cool new shades. They have a stretchy strap that goes around the back of his head, and they should fit until he is 2. I am excited, because they have UV proptection. And Fox will be happy, too, because although he love to look at lights, he hates the bright sunlight and squints and/or sneezes in the slightest bit of sun.

Here is Fox playing the Moses game with Joe. The game is where we put Fox in a laundry basket, push him back and forth and say, "Moses! Are you having fun in the river, Moses?" It's more fun than it sounds. We all chuckle away.


And here are pictures of our trip to Como Zoo this week. As you can see, Fox has grown much since our last visit to Como. Nobody stopped us to take Fox's picture, but people did call him cute. Of course!!

Sorry about the recent lapse in posts. Rather than make excuses, I will just put lots of pics on for people to enjoy today.

A couple weeks ago, we had a party for Fox so Joe's extended family could meet him and give him presents. It was lots of fun, and he is enjoying playing with all his new toys.

Here is a picture from during the party:


Hanging out with the guys:


Fox and GG Farm:


And with godfather/uncle Jerod:


Here we all are, including Grampa and Great-Grama and -Grampa:


And just the three of them. They seemed to like him a lot. Not that I am surprised!


After meeting everyone, Fox was in very good spirits.


He was surprised how cute he looked in his new pooh hat from Elizabeth and Zach:


And now he's Mr. Cool.


Fox has really big feet. They aren't super wide, but they are long. He just got these sandals, and they are already almost too small. His toes are close to coming out the front end, and the straps left indentations. But he will wear them while he can, since he looks so cute in them!


And I just had to throw in this cute post-bath pic. Adorable!


Coming soon: pictures of Fox's second trip to Como Zoo.
