Leo's 1st Crawl!
Leo crawled forward for the first time last night. I will be putting the video(along with one of Flora splashing in the puddles) on YouTube as I can!

What's Happening Lately
The last few weeks have been so busy that I haven't had time to write. It will be a nice change to not have anything to do! Although, we did have fun camping with our families. :)
Leo is still teething(and waking in the middle of the night). I can feel the edge of one of his teeth through his gums. I'm sure it'll pop through any time now, at least with in the next week or so.
Leo has also been getting around on his own a little. He has been scooting on his belly in circles and backwards(in the pic below, he scooted backwards, under the bed). He can also get onto hands and knees from belly, but has yet to take off crawling. Tom and I think he will be crawling with in the next month. He is also is doing great sitting and has been trying to go from sitting to hands and knees, and tummy to sitting, but gets one foot stuck underneath him!
Leo is eating more baby food and has started eating "puffs" . He is eating 3 "meals" a day(which includes a bottle) and a bottle before bed.
Flora and Leo went to their first "big" concert last night. We saw Rutsted Root in Oshkosh at Waterfest. The last time Tom and saw them, I was pregnant with Flora. Flora seemed to be enamored by the lights and the excitement of the crowd. She said to me, "I want to see the music." I told her it was right there and she could see it. She replied, "I want to go by it". So Tom and I took turns taking her up closer to the stage to dance(it's hard work holding a toddler and dancing to very energetic music!) while Leo was trying to fall asleep in the stroller. Flora thought screaming with the crowd was pretty neat, too. I guess it's not too often that she gets to see grown-ups screaming because they are having fun and we all had lots of it!!! Here she is dancing.
Yesterday Flora slept in her "big girl bed" for the first time(she was excited about her new bed and canopy in the pic below). She was super tired when we got home from the show last night and went right to sleep. This morning when I went to get her she was standing by her door(which is always shut to keep rowdy pets out at night). She went in it for her nap okay, too. We'll have see when she wakes up if she goofed around in her room before settling into bed. I just can't believe how fast she is becoming a little person! Both of the kids are growing way too fast!!!
There are more pictures on the web album, "Summer 2009" and eventually I'll be putting videos of Flora singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and "ABC's" to Leo on YouTube.
Have a great weekend!

Leo
Today Leo had his 6 month check-up. He is 30 inches(over the 100th %) and 20 pounds, 14 ounces(94th %). so he's still a big kid, but we knew that! The dr. said he's proportionate so it's okay. She also said he was ahead of his milestones compared to most babies she saw at his age. She checked out his ears and said they were perfect. She also looked in his mouth an said that it did look like his gums were swollen and any day now he should be popping teeth. No wonder he's been sleeping poorly and waking in the night crying. Hopefully they'll come soon!
So here are some of the things Leo has been accomplishing lately. He is sitting on his own, officially. He has been getting his knees up underneath him and rocking on all fours. He can also scoot backwards and to the side on his belly. So he's getting in shape to start crawling!
Leo has been eating baby food 2-3 times a day. He is doing pretty good at keeping it in his mouth now. Leo has had peas, beans, carrots, sweet taters, squash, green beans, apples, bananas, prunes, pears, rice cereal, and oatmeal.
Leo is still a sweet, mellow little guy, despite the teething. He loves Flora and the pets(in fact we were looking at the calves at tom's aunt's farm last weekend and he was laughing and laughing at them!)He smiles at everyone and they just get such a kick out of him(and Flora, too)! Sorry there aren't pictures, I'm writing this on my phone and can't post pictures, bur I did put some more in the "Summer 2009" album/slideshow. We're on our way up North for the weekend, as we speak! So we hope you all have a great weekend, too!!!

More New Stuff on the Blog
I know I haven't posted in a while, but it's summer and for us that means we are busy with camping, weddings, family events, Farmer's Markets, and evening walks after supper.
(Pictured below is us at the Broadway St. Farmer's Market that we go to with Val & Fischer on Wed. coffee nights in Green Bay.)
I'm also waiting until Leo's 6 month Dr. appointment on Thursday to give the full update including his height and weight.
To tide you over until then, there are two new videos (they are on the right in "Enz-a-vision"). One of Flora on her "new" bike, her first two-wheeler.
The other is of Leo being silly. I filmed this because out friend, Troy, kept saying that Leo's so quiet and he never hears him make a peep. Leo was being silly all on his own, so I decided to capture it and to show Troy that Leo is a little noise-maker sometimes. :) I thought the rest of you would get a kick out of it, too!
There is also a new "Summer 2009 Slideshow". This is the album that all the new photos will go into.
That's about all for now. We have had a busy month so far, starting off with Tom's cousin's, Brian, wedding this weekend. Tom was in the wedding party, so that's what made it busy. We're doing a lot of camping, too. We'll be going up North Thursday through Sunday and then the kids and I are going to Lichterman Family Camping the 14th-17th and then coming home, picking up Tom and heading up North to Ed and Mae's annual "Party in the Woods" on the 18th-19th. After all that, things settle down and we don't have a whole lot planned, except for a couples camping trip in the beginning of August and a week-long family vacation in mid-August.
We are also SUPER EXCITED to see Heather at the end of July and the whole month of August!!! We've missed her! ;)
