a great month so far!

we have been having a fabulous july so far! hatcher is growing so much and cutting more teeth. He cut his 7th the other day (4 on top, and just cut his 3rd on bottom). he loves to knock down block towers that mommy builds, go strolling, and chew on his hairbrush. he is learning so much every day and it is so cool to watch!
we celebrated hatcher's 6 month birthday on june 28th with a little party with my parents, the dewalds, a cookout, and a tasty ice cream cake. here is a picture of the birthday boy who was munching on a plum (no ice cream cake for this little guy, but he did take big bites with his cute front teeth and seemed to thoroughly enjoy himself)... my birthday came around recently so we celebrated the night before by going out to eat with my parents and then going to the new barnes and noble at bridgestreet. it was really nice and nana couldn't resist getting some books for hatcher. then we went home and had cake that my mom had made me...tasty chocolate with cherries. by the way, i got all 29 candles out on one breath! :) my birthday fell on a saturday, so ben, hatcher, and i had a great family day. we started off by going to kroger and picking out fresh pastries for breakfast. then we headed over to a park near our house and we played on the playground with hatcher. he loved swinging!
