Sink Bath

Madelyn is a good helper with August.
He can't take a bath in the sink anymore because he kicks and straightens his legs so hard I'm afraid he will smash his head against the side. It was so much easier than leaning over the bathtub though!

Meet the Baby Shower

Great Gram Alder hosted a lovely dessert and baby shower with aunts, cousins, and a few close friends.

Madelyn and I made this blanket for August before he was born. 

First Beach Trip

To celebrate August's one-week birthday (and because it was 95 degrees), we spent the afternoon at the beach in Lincoln City (sharing a namesake with August!).

Gary and Madelyn created this "August's 1st Beach Trip" scene for a photo op.

Poor baby was probably freezing - it was chilly and windy!

Toes in the ocean for the first time ever!
