What IS new with the Blus?

It's been a long time since our last post -- time for an update! Life is great in Chandler, AZ. We are totally in denial that summer is around the corner. We are already up in the 90's and I am realizing I wish I had these arms ready for summer tanks. Oops, time has really flown by. Shawn and I returned Sunday afternoon from our weekend trip to Destin, FL. We enjoyed 4 days in "Lower Alabama" and witnessed the beautiful wedding of our friends Courtney & Eric. The weather was kind of a bummer and we still can't believe that during the entire trip we never quite found our way to the beach. Here are a couple of pictures from the trip...

Another big milestone passed this weekend...Cole is 6 months old! Our little man is really growing up. Yesterday was a big day...Cole got a highchair, a toothbrush and sippy cups. Saturday will be his first day eating cereal and we are excited to document the meal on film! He has started to sit up and is just as curious as ever. He is a total drool machine making mommy wonder if a tooth will spring up soon? I am amazed at what a busy boy he is...the legs are always moving, which was making bath time a challenge. We purchased Cole a new bathtub that is an inflatable duck, so mommy can stop worrying about him bonking his head on the old plastic one. We let him try it out on the carpet before putting it in the water -- he loves it! When you press the beak it goes "quack, quack, quack." Cole looks around wondering where the noise is coming from.
