Things about you!

  • I am scared to say it, but you are consistently sleeping through the night!  We are on day 6 IN A ROW!  Up till now we would get about 4 of 7 days.  You go to bed right after the bigger kids around 8:30 and wake up at 7:00.
  • You are on a 3.5 hour feeding schedule drinking 5, 6+ ounce bottles.
  • So far you are a very sweet, lazy baby.  To fit in around here, we really appreciate it.  We try to keep your nap schedule consistent, but some days it doesn’t happen and you adjust fine.  You are not nearly as predictable as the other two, but not really fussy about it either.
  • You did roll over about a week ago. Stomach to back. 
  • You drool alot and like to chew on your hands.
  • Your favorite things to do are lay at the activity mat and be in the exersaucer.
  • You love attention and smile back when you get some!  You love Bailey and Andrew.
  • The only time you really cry is when you have to burp.  We will pick you up, you burp and then you are fine again.
  • You are in 6 months clothes, heading to 9 months.


My helper was very interactive while I was trying to take these photos!

Lazy Days of Summer

1. Zoo Day!  The coolest thing we saw was when they fed the alligator!  This big guy was swimming all around and then the trainers came and gave him dead rats.  eew.  I don’t think I would be brave enough to get into the cage.  (This is the same alligator that my mom says is pretend because it is always up on the bank and NEVER moves!)

Grant got to feed the giraffe and have a penguin stand on his head!

2. Pool Day!  We have lived at the pool this summer.  One cloudy morning it was just us and this little guy!

Grant is the only one of the three that would put on this life jacket without screaming.

4. Beach Day!  We love it that family keeps coming to the beach near us!  Thanks for letting us come visit.  We had fun!

It’s Summer–Fire week

We turned ourselves into fire fighters!

We played lots of “town” and worked on making 911 calls to report a fire.  Then had our emergency vehicles come save the day!

We made a big fire station out of an old cardboard box.

We had our neighbors over for some s’mores and then put out the REAL fire!

IMG_3825IMG_3827

We printed off a map of the neighborhood and then went on a walk to mark where the fire hydrants are on our streets.

We had dinner at Firehouse Subs!

We learned about putting out a fire, Dalmations and shapes!

We used water balloons to put out the fire too!

It was a fun week!
