It was such a beautiful day today that we decided to go to Lion’s Park to walk around. I promised Vaughan he could see the train there, too!

Rheya is six months old now…how can time be so cruel? At her check-up yesterday she weighed 15 lbs - 10oz and was 25-3/4 inches! I looked at Vaughan’s weight and length from this age and he outweighed her by almost two pounds and he was an inch longer. Rheya is growing and developing well and she screamed through the entire exam and the shots. Poor girl!

I put her in the big high chair for the first time today. She still doesn’t sit up on her own, but she seems to like trying to sit up, so I figured she might enjoy the chair. She had her lunch and then played for a little while. She was all smiles!

Yes, we do still live in Cheyenne where nothing exciting ever happens, but we did recently have yet another monster truck show come to town. This time it featured two big name trucks that Vaughan has heard of. He even owns the toys of those trucks! This really is quite unusual for Cheyenne…two monster truck shows in two months.

Well, anyway, Vaughan and Rick went and had a great time! They got to meet the drivers and Vaughan even got his toy monster trucks autographed by the drivers! It’s been four days and he can’t stop talking about it to anyone who will listen. He also keeps saying “Maybe Vaughan see more monster trucks sometimes?” Adorable!

Here’s Vaughan with Bounty Hunter driver, Darren Migues.

And here he is with Iron Outlaw driver, Joe Miller.

I remember when “cool beans” used to be a hip thing to say. Not so much anymore, BUT it is a cool playhouse and cafe in Ft. Collins (Cool Beans Playhouse and Cafe)! We went there with some moms and kids from my moms group and had a great time. Fun stuff for Vaughan to do and good food for me!

I’ve have noticed a definite change in the way I post to the blog now that there are two kids in the house. Basically, I don’t seem to do it as often as I used to. The good news is that I do still take pictures and update the blog when I can…which usually results in three of four new blog posts at a time. I never said it was efficient, but it works for me.

Anyway, Vaughan had some kind of viral infection a couple weeks ago which left him with a high fever, no appetite and very little energy, so he spent a couple days on the couch like this:

Poor little guy. He was completely over it after about five days or so.

Rheya did not get sick (fortunately) and she’s still as cute as ever. Here she is playing around with my headband:

And some other cuteness…

Lastly, here’s another Vaughan/Rheya comparison. I love these!
