Rocco's 6 Weeks

What we've done this past week...

Micah spent two whole days in Oklahoma. He drove up early in the morning and didn't get home until 10pm both nights. Rough days for him. Rough days for me too. But we are managing ok. The boys have been great sports. Going outside is almost not even an option. We went to the park one morning at 9:30. I thought that it wouldn't be too hot just yet. Boy was I wrong. I worked up a sweat just by putting the boys in the car. Every other day this past week, we've spent at the pool.

Rocco relaxing out by the pool. We usually go after

dinner. So it has cooled off a bit. He does really

well and doesn't get too hot.

Rocco is definitely getting bigger and becoming

more and more alert every day.

He began smiling the other day. His first official

smile was at his older brother Graham.

Brode was a little jealous.

Fun times at the pool.

When Rocco sleeps, he always holds his hands up

by his face in little fists.

Rocco has really dark eyes. With both Brode and

Graham you could see some blue in them by

this age. Not for Rocco. They are very dark

and have a brownish color to them.

Rocco's hair is very red too. Brode had

blonde hair. Graham had a really light

red. Rocco's is a dark red. But so cute.

We've also spent sometime with friends this week

that we'll miss very much. Brode and Abby.

Graham and Jane.

This week we celebrated my birthday.

I spent the day with all 4 of my boys.

And I whipped up this yummy cake that I

stole from a good friend. It's made with fresh

strawberries, lemon zest and yogurt. And

comes with a lemon glaze. Micah was in heaven.
