Happy Half-Birthday Tag Boy!

Our little guy is growing up. We're not sending him off to
school or anything yet, but on August 12th he turned the big
6 months. His doctor reported that he is doing great. Tag is 19 1/2 lbs. and 28 inches. We decided to take an evening hike to celebrate.

We recently bought him a new hiking pack due to a failed trip up Waterfall Canyon, that ended about a half mile up the hill, because of carrying him like this......(see picture above)

This pack does not fit on the hubby, so it was pretty much like carrying him around in my uterus again, except at triple the size. Not cool.

This is our new, upgraded pack. He's like a little prince sitting atop his chariot.
P.S. Yes, Jon can carry this one just fine, but I wanted to give it a try, as he already took him all the way to Waterfall Canyon in it.

This is just the Wheeler Creek trail up Ogden Canyon. It looks like we're in the Himalaya's or somewhere much neater.

Ok, here's where the half-birthday fun comes in. We decided to go with an easy-to-pack Hostess cupcake.

I told Jon to let him try it (meaning let him lick a little cream off your finger) and this was his understanding of the instruction.

He loved it! Do I really even need to put that? Who wouldn't love a Hostess cupcake?

And finally, the downfall to his new, cool pack...not so comfy when he falls asleep on the hike down:(

The End. Happy half-birthday son!
