North is fast approaching his first birthday! These past few days have been a little rough for the family as we've been trying to help North Star learn to 'self sooth'...that's the gentle way of saying we've been letting him cry it out! He's figuring it out though, and I finally believe there might be light at the end of the tunnel.
He is growing so fast, he's already nearly 20 lbs and is a very active dude, although his cousins Malcolm & Gabby put him to shame in the 'active' department! He LOVES swimming, swinging, bike rides and the dogs. It won't be long before he's running around with them in the yard!
In June we traveled to Seattle to congratulate Aunt Traci for completing her ND program at Bastyr University. WooHoo Aunt Traci!!!! Malcolm showed both North and Gabby all his newest and coolest toys and they all played together...that is to say they all played together in the same area, sometimes agreeing and who got certain toys, and sometimes not... It's safe to say that Christmas this year is going to be complete chaos!
In July we were able to visit all the family in Minnesota. He met his Great Grandpa Larry, his second cousin Lillian Keuttel whose three months old, and everyone in between! He even had his first boat ride at Island Lake and smiled ear to ear.
Hope everyone is having a fun summer!
