Mommy and Atti Swimming

Atti Swimming with Daddy

Atticus took his first trip out to Traverse City, MI (home of Jeremy Blum and world famous cherries).
Here's some footage of Atti swimming in Lake Michigan.

Mr Wiggles

Several months ago, Atticus started to wiggle. Wiggle when he heard music, wiggle when he was feelin gooooood, wiggle just about whenever...

He hasn't started to crawl yet... my theory is that he's focusing all his energies into the wiggles... a lot of upper body and not enough leg.

Uncle Dave captured some of Atti's wiggles in our time in Kauai.

Atti Likes Strawberries

Uncle Dave captured Atti's first taste of strawberries.
