Donovan Graduation Party

 Jack loves holding Seamus.

This picture is too funny.

 Seamus had his thumb

in his mouth the entire party

but he loved being held.

Here is Megan holding him

for the first time.

 Seamus loves his Aunt Maria.

He loves that she has been

staying with us!

 And doesn't she look great

for just getting out of a 24 hour

rotation!

 Yay a family picture!

 Sisters

 Congratulations to Elizabeth and Megan on

their graduation!

And to Alyssa on her upcoming wedding!

 Fancy cakes!

Mom and Dad were too nice

to include me in the graduation party!

 It was such a nice day

and Mom worked so hard on the food!

Dad worked so hard on setting everything up and

the decorations. I am so blessed to have such

a nice family. Mom even had a little mini graduation

for me since I missed mine. Too Sweet!

 Thank you so much!

 Playing with a plastic bag.

The simple things that amuse him!

 Aunt Joan got Jim

the sweetest Father's Day gift.

 Seamus also likes it!

 His new hobby of playing

with the blinds.

 Hide and Seek

 I went to a play group

at a mom's pool last Friday.

Seamus of course loved kicking his

feet in the pool. Here he is with Lucy.

(Julie Moon's (Boettcher's) youngest.)

She is 6 months older then him and

Seamus looks bigger than her!

 Seamus wants the cracker.

This is the perfect picture to end with,

I love it!

clapping for the first time at

the party!

 Reading (or eating) book time with

grandma.

 Adult Seamus

(Hard to think that his

feet will be this big someday!)

 Seamus' fake smile

 Yes his hair is all

of a sudden blond!

 Laundry time

 Hysterical!

 Jim being goofy.

 His new fascination, the dog crate.

 He can now pull himself up to standing

on anything. He can also hold on with

just one hand. He is an active little boy!

This is the Hollyhock bush

my mom gave me. It has

flowers like this all over it.

It started as three tiny leaves and now

it is over 6 feet tall!



4th of July

 Look at me I can stand up now!

He can pull himself up to standing

and loves moving.

 He can also sit up too!

I call him a silly ham bone :-)

  Getting into everything as always.

 7 month photo shoot

 He likes mum mums. Thanks

Aunt Sarah for introducing them to me.

 His first parade.

He was quite serious

but did not cry even with the loud sirens.

 The elementary school where Jim went.

 Even though it was hot

I am so glad we went to the parade!

 Playing tug of war with Coco.

 His other fourth of July shirt

from Aunt Megan.

Eating with no shirt on.

If you look closely he has

a little shiner from hitting his head.

It has been a fun summer.

Jim has been watching Seamus in

the morning while I do a tutoring program

and then I get to spend the evening with him.

He has been such a joy!
