6 Months

At 6 months little Johnny:

• can sit up all by himself
• eats sweet potatoes, carrots, peas and applesauce (he doesn't like pears or peaches)
• wears size 18-month clothes
• grins from ear to ear when he wakes up
• makes us work really hard for a laugh
• loves to jump in his Johnny Jump Up and MegaSaucer
• is still toothless but drools a whole lot
• loves bath time more than any other time of the day
• got his first bruise (on his chin from trying to go from his bum to his tummy)
• is the love of his momma's life

Here are a few pictures:

Gramps' WWII Letters

I just finished compiling Gramps' letters from his time in the Navy during WWII. It has been a work in progress this year and surely there will be more updates, but I thought you'd like to see it so far. There is a map in the back as well and a list of the movies he saw while on board the USS Mindanao.You can view it by clicking on the picture of Gramps above or send me your email address and I will send it to you as an attachment (merrell3@gmail.com). It is about 4.5MB so I can email it to most email providers.
