Celebrating Pops and the sunshine

We had two days of celebrating Pops' birthday, first on Friday Dalia, Mom and Pops went to lunch. Later that day, Dalia discovered that grass is great. Mom spent a lot of time in the grass with her showing her that it is not sharp or scary as she seemed to think. Before you knew it she was grabbing it and throwing it and, of course, trying to shove it in her mouth. Then on Saturday we had our first bbq of the season and Dalia got to hang out in the backyard for a lot of the day. It is HARD work keeping a little one out of the sun. Now that it's shining, we're not sure what to do.

Standing with Dad

I just realized we have these great pics of Dalia standing with Dad. The last one is just because I love the expression on her face.

Standing and just plain ol' cute

I like to take photos when Dad is away. Today we had the cutest photo shoot ever. She actually posed for the camera for several seconds. Seriously, folks, she saw the camera, stopped what she was doing and smiled. Unbelievable. She is half-Nelson after all. She is also working on standing and some kind of crawling like behavior. It's pretty much all she wants to do right now. Here are some great photos from the day.

FOOD!

Dalia has entered the world of solid food (well, it's not really solid yet now, is it?) So far, she LOVES sweet potatoes, which you all can see from these photos (this is the first time she ate them, and she actually said "mmmmmm"). She also likes rice cereal mixed with pears and breast milk. Mmmmmmm.....what will be next?

Kate

Dalia finally got to meet Mom's friend, Kate. These photos are so beautiful how they captured the interaction between them. Hope we get to see you before Dalia is another six months!

Visit from Jen, Anth and Anders

The Nelsons came for Thom and Steph's wedding. Here are some shots from the day after, hangin with the family.

Our first wedding

Thom and Steph got married last weekend! Woo Hoo!!! Anyway, we don't have photos of the wedding itself. Trying to juggle a baby and a camera at a function such as a wedding is difficult, we discovered. But, here are a couple from the shower Steph had the day before and when we were getting ready with the cousin, Anders.
