Summertime

We've had a fun summer so far. Last week Tina, Parker and Claire came to visit and we had a blast. They went to the Battleship, Museum of Mobile, and several other cultural places. The kids had a wonderful time playing together. They got to join in on our Hokey Pokey wake-up routine. I took all the kids to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch one day. We had a great time!

Olivia and Kelly are dressed alike:

Olivia likes bathtime!


Here's a good shot of her smile:


First time at church went smoothly since she slept in her carrier the entire time. Now we've been twice. Here's a pic after we got home the first time:


Tummy time is a family affair:


Backyard fun:

We recently went to Catfish Junction with Jonathan's grandmother and I managed to get one picture...can't ever seem to have my camera ready enough.

June Already?

I can't believe how fast time is passing....maybe it is the sleep deprivation? Baby is now at least 12 lbs and growing so fast. She is smiling and cooing (and crying) her days away. Caroline just started her summer mother's day out session and loves it. She enjoys the singing and playing on the playground so much. I love the art projects she brings home each time! I can't get enough of the now 2 1/2 year old. I absolutely love every minute. The cheeks are still chubby and the brain is learning so much. Caroline loves to say, "I show you, Mommy" about everything. She is counting to 16 now and knows a bit of sign language. She even tells me when Olivia's hand is making a letter:) Amazing how fast they grow. I want to freeze time.

Finally got the 2 seat Chicco stroller...our first walk around the neighborhood. (Olivia's carrier is in the back)

Got an action shot of Olivia's batting practice:

We've celebrated summer with a few special treats.


Mischief!

SLEEP

Caroline loves to 'hold' Olivia (I am doing the work)

Just like our favorite story, Baby Dear, we feed our babies and take them out together. Caroline's 2 babies are usually involved on our outings.
