Salem: Seven Months

Last September I said I would catch up.  I never did.  Sigh.  Here we go.

At seven months, Salem was getting ready for a cross-country adventure.  The four of us traveled in the minivan to Cleveland, stopping in Nebraska, Illinois, and Indiana.  It was very glamorous, and very fun.  More about that another time.

Salem is wearing a duck outfit.  I love duck baby things.  Maybe because we didn’t know the sex of the baby either pregnancy ahead of time so we had a lot of duck-themed items, or maybe just because they’re so quacking cute.

Here are some photos from the summer road trip adventure.

I adore this romper. It looked soooo long on the hanger and I waited forever to dress her in it…and it stops 2 inches above her ankles. Oops!
Lemon face!
Happy at Grandpa’s
She loves bananas just like Tyler

We thought she was teething. She wasn’t.
The go-pod was a lifesaver this summer.
Cars! And I loved this celestial sleeper on Tyler.

Salem was exhausted at a family party in Bowen, IL:

Daddy can make her laugh like nobody else:

Salem tried her first bite of ice cream at Mitchell’s in Cleveland.  I think she liked it.

It’s funny looking back and posting these an entire year later…in some ways she looks exactly the same and in some ways I hardly recognize her!
