BESTIES!!!!

Ali and Marley are besties these days. She LOVES Marley. Even when she is crying I can usually get her to stop with a quick trip over to see Mar Mar. For Marley's part, he tolerates.

Goings on -

The baby-blanket burrito -

Paige got her hair cut the other day and sweet talked the lady into a braid. Then walked around the rest of the day calling herself Elsa from Frozen.

Showing Ali how to use the Ipad. You can never start too young -

Picnic outside on a nice spring day -

And inside another -

Mimi & Nana came to bbsit Ali so that Paige and I could have a date. We settled on getting our toes done...

And lunch -

Selfies!

Obama(and the rest of the world) isn't the only one enjoying a selfie here and there. We love a good selfie now and then. Here are some of our latest...

Old Man. We've definitely noticed Marley slowing down in the last 6 months or so. Spending time with his much younger and more agile cousins or watching him over Memorial Day hang out with a lab puppy, we've noticed he doesn't move as fast as he used it (and he was never fast to begin with) and doesn't even try to keep up with the younger pups. His hips bother him if he gets too much activity and now he is battling a shoulder thing.....geeze, not the birthday post I intended.

Happy Happy Birthday Marley Man!!! What can we say....one of a kind you are.

The kids celebrated with some Frosty Paws ice cream and Paige wanted a photo opp with..who else...Birthday Bear!

Mem Day -

We headed to the cape for Mem Day. We first visited with our Dartmouth friends in Dennis, got to see Grampy for dinner and then headed over to Falmouth to spend some time with Mimi and the Parents.

It was nice to get away, it was a long winter and we haven't been out much, this was apparent by how overly excited the kids were about our weekend getaway. They were SOOOO excited!!!

Ali getting to know the littlest Milligan -

Playing on the beach -

and fishing on the beach -

Not too shabby - the guys caught dinner -

But the kids ate hot dogs instead -

Even Marley made a new friend. A much younger version of himself. Back in the day Marley would have loved running around with this guy, now he lasted 24 minutes before he was all sacked out!

So he found a snuggle buddy instead -

The guys took the older kids to a lake on day two. They had no problem getting into bathing suits and getting into the water -

Mem Day part 2: At Mimi's house. Enjoying some R&R -

And some more R&R -

The ladies -

1/2 a year old!!

Here are my 6th month stats:

Weight: 16.11Lbs (62%)

Height: 26.5 (69%)

Head: 17 (61%)

She's pretty consistent and I will say the smallest of the Peabody babies. Ali started solids. She isn't diggin' on them much. She likes the cereal but doesn't care for much else so far (green beans, sweet potato and carrots). She can roll front to back and on occasion back to front but doesn't do it often. She can transfer toys from hand to hand. Babbles away and tries to mimic sounds. LOVES to blow raspberries. Still does not like to get dressed. Can't be bothered with the process and still doesn't like having a dirty diaper. Gets VERY upset if she isn't changed promptly (this promotes a problem when in the car).

Lots of QT with big sister -

Everyone loves hanging out with little -

I'm awesome to chillax with -

More Chillaxing at a friends house -

Again chillin' in the garage while daddy works in the yard -

I've been sucking my thumb. I think this is good fun but everyone else doesn't seem to think it is so great. Not sure why....my big brother does it too!
