Busy boy

It's been a busy/productive couple of weeks for Rorek. He is now flipping from his back to his belly and vice versa, can go from sitting position to crawling position and vice versa, and is CRAWLING...and already getting into things. He has a bit of a rug burn on his knees that we have been putting aloe on :(. Also, I think he is starting to teethe...he has had a fever off and on in the evening and has started to wake in the night again. Tylenol has become his good friend....He has also started eating more things, so far, applesauce, bananas, pears, carrots, sweet potatoes, and nasty tasting rice cereal.
We have been going back and forth between Cedar Rapids and Cedar Falls. Rorek is having fun getting to know his cousin and trying to keep up with him. Aunt Gretchen has even watched him a few times. so I could get a few things done, ALONE. Long enough for a haircut and a little shopping (before R's next feeding time).

Today was cousin August's confirmation and cousin Ellie's birthday celebration...
so we had to dress up!!
Rorek didn't even mess with the tie until the end of the day.

After arriving in Iowa, we were able to meet Tate. Tate is Nicole's new addition (college friend, Arc coworker, and NC roommate). Tate was born a few days after we arrived and we met him soon after his arrival home.
