Big girls sit up by themselves...

Yup, Ava is now easily sitting up on her own! She can't get to that position by herself yet, but once she's there she can sit forever! The occasional flop onto her back here and there, but she's got it pretty much mastered. We are so proud! :)

She's also expanded her diet to include Carrots, Green Beans, Sweet Potatoes...as well as a little banana and apple sauce! Tasty.

We had a good weekend up north last weekend. Weather was great! The guys got a little fishing in, Ava took a pontoon ride with G&G Shallman, and we went on another bike ride! She had a blast but it really wore her out. Another 6 days of it coming up this weekend for the 4th!

Speaking of fishing, Justin caught his first fish ever! He didn't know what kind it was..he thought it looked like a crappie. None-the-less, we were very happy for him, and as you can see, he was pretty proud of himself. It was actually pretty cool...he caught 2 fish at once. He first caught a small bluegill, and while reeling it in the northern ate it! he got it in and the bluegill's tail was still sticking out of the northerns throat. Pretty cool stuff. Way to go Justin...fish(s) on!

Cristin passed her boards! Nice work! Finally done with school and makin the big bucks. Too bad Justin will spend it all on ugly haircuts.

Going forward, there is a standing offer of a 'free beer' for anyone who manages to comment on a new blog entry BEFORE Justin does. And i'm guessing Justin will have plenty to comment on for this one. Good luck!
