Months 6 - 8

The middle months. Dana has entered daycare part-time, and she has gone from never getting sick to just about never getting well. Ditto for los padres. But, at least our immune systems are getting a workout.

Other firsts include sitting, rolling actively both directions, and tolerating tummy time (finally), but crawling still appears to be a ways off.

First camping trip to Yosemite and inaugural use of palatial tent!
(The days of lightweight backpacking are quietly mourned.)

Dana enjoys Daddy's backpacking air mattress. Like Mommy, Dana
generously left Daddy a few inches to sleep on.

A very dry Vernal Falls in the distance. Dana keeps close watch
on scenic Yosemite.

The view is much better from up here.
