July 2nd? WHA?!?

Neither Ian or I can quite believe that it’s already Q3 and the year is halfway over. Which also explains [excuses] why I’ve been a bit remiss in posting the bear pictures…it’s my own mental protest against the passing of time. Though with 17 days until her first birthday, it’s time to get on board!

(I also included some bonus swim pics–enjoy!)

8-month bear pictures. Alex continues to find the glasses to be the best part of this monthly event. (Actually taken on May 20th)

While the glasses didn't make it into the picture, we did manage to get her to stand still. (Only a day late this time, taken on June 20th)
