Well, as you can imagine, this past two months has literally flown by. I am not sure where the days go, but go they surely do. And Celeste, guilt doesn't work. Britene and GLenn wanted to choose which pictures went up to the website. I guess I have placed a few up that Britene would have preferred I didn't. Anyway, getting everyone together at the same time has also proven difficult. But they have done their thing, and so I include June's pictures - courtesy of Britene and Glenn...

I guess you can tell who rules this household. Raven's toys are in every room, cause she just doesn't know what she will want to play with next. |
 |
Obviously, she is still a pretty happy baby. She smiles a lot, laughs out loud at any antics her parents will take the time to perform. She isn't picky... |
 |
Britene didn't want this one up (I did anyway obviously) because it makes Raven "look fat". Give me a break, it makes Raven adorable. |
 |
Dressed oh-so-pretty. |
 |
She likes dressing up, but naked, or as close as she can come to it, is her preferred mode of dress. Glenn very patiently let's her chew on his face, what a great Dad. |
 |
Raven is seen here playing with Dad's Num-Chucks. They are bigger than she is! Notice the dates on the last several pictures and also notice how many different outfits she has had on in this ONE day! |
 |
She is tall enough now to look out the window. Mom stands guard so she doesn't do a back flip off the sofa. A later picture (just a couple of minutes later) shows why this was a good idea. The picture washed out due to flash issues, but Mom caught her mid-flight. |
 |
After Britene set her back down from that little spill, this look almost says - Man, that was close! |
 |
Asked to send a message to the family in Texas, her response: "Ya'll come on out!" |
 |
She stops on command and poses. I love this Liza look she has going. If they don't comb it out flat while it is wet, her hair curls up. |
 |
How about those cheeks? |
 |
She gets to go visit Damen - (who moved up to Strawberry with his parents) - to get her "social-time". |
 |
These two are pretty close. They are sure cute together. Britene and Glenn both say they will teach the kids they are "cousins" so things don't get strange in a few years. |
 |
You guys don't get to see most of the cute bath pictures since private parts are often visible. I don't want the FBI knocking on the door with charges of child pornography. |
 |
Raven decides when enough is enough and pushes Damen away. |
 |
Raven got over the pink-eye pretty quick, but not before giving it to her Mom (hence, the glasses) |
 |
A little cock-eyed grin |
 |
Her Mom gave her a jar of baby food to play with while she fixed "bites". |
 |
She dropped the jar in anticipation of Dad picking her up. He fooled her, he was just passing through. |
 |
What a pair of cuties! |
 |
Raven says Enough, let me down or feed me, you choose |
 |
Grey-green-blue eyes and a heart shaped mouth. This kid could be the "Gerber Baby" |
 |
Tuckered out from playing, Raven grabs a little shut-eye. This is the only time Britene has to get anything done around the house. Remember those days? |
 |
A little later she is up again (her naps don't last long!) Rubbing Dad's beard feels good |
 |
She can laugh and laugh with no more motivation than she tickled herself by laughing. |
 |
Peaches and Plums, Yum. She shows off her big bite for the camera |
 |
Don't let this picture fool you, she loves both! |
 |
This is her "What, are you serious?" face. |
 |
A low flying game of "ride-the-horsey". She really loves her Daddy. |
