Oh How I Need You Summer

Okay really? I've tried to be patient with the weather this Spring. I know that Spring weather is always crazy and unpredictable but why oh why can't we just have a few more "70 Degree" days in there? How about "70" and not rainy days? Palmer is much happier when we can go out and so is mommy. Here is it is the beginning of June and I almost can't believe it because we had no nice Spring weather!

These are some of the things our family has had going on though while being cooped up (and a few of the days that were beautiful)...

Natalie got married! She was a beautiful bride and we're excited to welcome Cam Merrell into our family. Too bad they had to move to California...


We went to the Sand Dunes with Brad's family. Palmer got to ride a Prowler for the first time. I think Brad was more excited for this event than our lil' guy.


Palmer and I went to the Tulip Festival with my mom and Rachel. This was the first really warm day and it was delightful!


Palmer is becoming so much fun. His little personality is really starting to shine. He is full of smiles (and tears sometimes as well...) and his hair is growing back. Yay! We had a little rough patch with him waking up in the night multiple times wanting his binky but he's been getting better. Love/hate relationship with that binky! He is SO close to sitting (I can't wait) and he is now rolling over from his back to his stomach. The thing that we're trying to work on is taking longer than 45 minute naps. I never knew that a human could have such a strong internal alarm clock but he wakes up from every nap at 45 minutes on the dot. I can watch him wake up from the bedroom door. Yes- he's taking about 4-5 naps a day which means that I really feel trapped inside my house. Maybe just maybe he's going through a phase and will grow out of it? Please?
