1 year pictures

In addition to taking family pictures for the Milners, the Roxy Studio also recently took North's 1 year photos. They came out amazing! Below are a few of the images Sam shared with us as a preview.

The one below is my favorite!

4th of July Family Photos

During 4th of July weekend, Alan's parents had some family photos taken by The Roxy Studio. They came out great! Below is a link to a slide show of photos from the day.

Dog Park

One of Ender's very favorite things about having moved to Bloomington is the dog park--there's a nice big one in Bloomington that always allows her the opportunity to: meet other dogs, run around in a big patch of grass, hike through the woods, & take a swim. North is a pretty big fan too.

9 teeth

North is now up to 9 teeth. He seems to teeth in spurts. His first 6 came in all at once then we took a long pause. A few weeks ago 3 more came in simultaneously (molars).
We're nearly half way to him having all of his baby teeth.

Spaghetti

Yesterday we had spaghetti for dinner. North is a big fan.

Walking!

I keep meaning to post to the blog and then not finding the time. Tonight I am determined to play a bit of catch up.
Last weekend was a great one. On Thursday Alan accepted a job offer for a position at French Lick Resorts.
Then, Alan and I both had 3 day weekends for the 4th of July holiday meaning that we got lots of family time.
On Thursday night, North finally started taking some steps! He's been walking more and more each day ever since (video coming soon).
Friday we went to Bryan Park pool which North LOVED. Saturday we went to Wonderlab and to Sam & Levi's. Sunday we went to Nana and Grandad's to visit with cousins Connor, Madi, and Claydon. Such a nice few days.
Here are some pictures-

Nana & Grandad's:
