Saturday Baths

When we were growing up we always had baths on Saturday and then we got our hair curled in those pink rollers (Lars is lucky he's a boy). I'm pretty sure it's cause we needed to be clean for church on Sunday. Even though Lars doesn't really get dirty yet, some how he always ends up getting a bath on Saturday (among other days of the week). I guess it's a good tradition to start, we don't want him going to church stinky:)!
Even though you can't tell in these pictures, he really loves the bath already. We have trouble keeping the water in the bath cause he splashes so much. He is going to have to move to the real bathtub soon:)!

Simon is the baby

I think Simon must be feeling neglected. He thought if he slept in the baby's bed maybe he could get some of the baby's attention (and toys:)!
He is just too cute! And he won't grow up and talk back, so we will keep him:)

Cowboy Lars

Julie bought Lars this cowboy hat so he could be a true Texan from the git'go. We will definitly be doing more photo shoots with this hat, but I thought I would share this one cause it is SO cute!! (totally biased I know:) Next week he starts ropin' !

What you talkin' 'bout Willis?

This is Lars' 'What you talkin' 'bout Willis?' face:)!
Lars passed up Simon a long time ago. I think he has passed up Garfunkel now too!

New Tricks & My BFF

Lars has started standing when you put him on his feet. He really enjoys getting to stand up tall! He was showing off for the ladies with a little tap dance (his chick magnet t-shirt really reeled them in:)!
He also loves hanging out with his BFF Luke! Luke's dad (Dave) was nice enough to hold them so they could hang out a little tonight.

Whose your daddy?

What do you think? Lars looks like his dad or what!!

On second thought maybe he favors me a little too:)

Florida here I come...

Lars has decided to skip the whole growing up and getting a job thing. He is going straight to retirement! He's got his palm tree shirt on with his velour track suit pants. 3 months to 70 with no stops!

4th of July in NY

Lars made is first of MANY trips to New York this weekend, for the 4th of July! We had lots of fun hanging out with the fam. We got to see Isaac and Nick win some All-Star Little League games, go see some awesome fireworks, go to the pool, and Karl got to go fishing with Great-Uncle John:). He also belly laughed really hard for the first time, but I was a little too slow with the camera, so we missed it.
Lars really enjoyed getting to meet his crazy DeGarmo Family and he can't wait to go back!!

While the cats away...

Well, I had to go to work today and I'm so lucky to have my really good friend Julie living next door. She babysat Lars while I went to work. As you can see, I don't think Lars missed me very much (which is great for him:)! He was too busy playing with his friends, Reagan and Avery!
