Bathtime

Lottie loves her bath, from the very first time. She gets extremely excited when you start filling her tub and smiles throughout the bath. She (unlike her brother), doesn't even mind water in her face.

Bapa

Bapa and Adam had an especially good time. Adam showed Bapa the versatility of buckets - you can put stuff in them OR use them as hats. They also enjoyed the baby couch. They also spent a lot of time outside, playing with the jungle croquet set. The giraffe croquet wickets needed to be fed, watered, and put to bed. Adam is a great giraffe caregiver.

Gram

Adam and Lottie had lots of fun with Gram. Gram had the magic touch with Lottie - she could always get her to sleep.

Difference

Lottie still likes girls better than boys. Here's her reaction to Bapa....

And now to Gram. Ha.

Bapa actually did get her to laugh a little. Must have been a fluke!

Fun with Grandparents

Lottie cuddles with Gram.

Adam enjoys his Green City that Gram made for him.

Bapa is a good bed.

Fourth of July

There was a big, FREE Fourth of July celebration at Camp Zama. We dragged the Grandparents Callicott (fresh off the plane) to Zama and enjoyed some free hot dogs and hamburgers, live music, bouce houses, and fireworks. Adam loved the fireworks (after briefly deciding they were "scare"), but the 30 minute show was too much for Lottie. We had to head inside for most of it.

As always, Adam made friends. As usual, it was a girl! They had a great time dancing to the Japanese country band, complete with cowboy hats and boots.

Neck

Lottie's neck is getting very strong. Sometimes she even likes tummy time!

Daddy and Lottie. Her favorite time - naked.

Heat Miser

I think Lottie could star in the remake of Year Without a Santa Claus as the Heat Miser. What do you think?

Cooing

This is from early in the month. She's since refined her cooing technique. She's becoming quite the loudmouth, just like Adam.

Cute Picture

More pictures to come - we've been super busy! All our visitors have left, and we're trying to get back on our regular schedule. Most importantly, Lottie's hair is starting to lay down (a little)!
