Koch Family Blog

While in Clear Lake, Bev really had a way to make Baxter laugh by using a chirping bird.  But most of all, Bax really enjoyed his Grandma's big bright smile.  True love for sure!

After a day on the golf course in Clear Lake, I captured THREE GENERATIONS in this photo.

While we visited Iowa in June, Baxter had the opportunity to meet some more family on the Koch side.

Cousin JACK...
Uncle RALPH...
And even Fritz's Aunt Betty and some cousins...
He also loved seeing his Aunt Katy and grandparents again...

JUNE was a very busy month for Baxter as he accomplished many milestones and enjoyed some new experiences.  People have told us that 'they grow up so fast'...and now we see that with our own eyes.  Check it out...

June 2nd - Rolled over for the 1st time.
June 4th - Lifted his head during "tummy time"
June 8th - Had his 4 mo appt and weighed 13 lb 11 oz
June 11th - First long road trip (12 hours to Clear Lake, IA).  He was an awesome traveller!

June 25th - Noticed that Baxter could now roll. (better keep an eye on him!)
June 26th - FIRST TOOTH appeared!!!  (His 2nd tooth appeared on July 5th!)
June 27th - Woke up on his stomach for the first time...with his butt in the air.

Whew....he must be exhausted.

After a long day in Steamboat, Baxter began to "bob" and fell asleep in his Uncle John's arms.  So cute!

Check out our little Hokie...and stay tuned for an Iowa Hawkeye photo, once that onsie fits.  Ha Ha
