SPLASHING IN THE POOL!

Tuesday was the first time we have been in the pool this summer. Our sweet neighbor's invited us over. This was also Zayne's very first time in the pool. HE LOVED IT! He was so happy in there and just kept smiling and splashing around. He also learned how to drink from a straw while we were there. Can't wait to do that more often!

The 2 BABIES of the BUNCH!

For the second day in a row, Zayne has napped longer than his 6 week old brother! What is up with that? I thought newborns where supposed to sleep all day?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN!

Nathan LOVES Bakugans

Drew is somewhere in this picture. Can you find him?

Nathan has been counting down the days and it's finally here! My little guy is now 7 years old! :(

Earlier in the week we made a trip to Waycross so Nathan and his best buddy Malachi could play and spend some time together. The day was spent running around like maniacs outside, building tents with every blanket in nana's house, more playing, and a movie. Both Drew and I took them to see the movie "Up" while my mom kept Noah and Drew's mom kept Zayne. Unfortunatly I forgot the camera so I don't have pictures but believe you me they had a BLAST!

On Friday I baked him a cake and he opened his presents. Jim, Jen, and Lily came over and celebrated with us. Nathan ended the day by going swimming at the neighbor's house.

On his playmat for the first time

Noah's blanket Aunt Jen and Uncle Jim got for him

The Kids!

Here are just a few pictures from the past month.

Noah is doing so good! He has even already slept through the night one night. He usually just wakes up 1 time during the night. I am so glad to because with 3 kids I sure do need my sleep! He is so observant and can already follow us a good distance from his face. He is a good baby and is eating like a champ. I put him on his playmat for the first time this morning and he fell asleep on it.

Zayne does so good with him! He likes to give him "love". He is interacting with his toys so much and loves to look at books and be read to. He likes to dangle things from his thumb. He quite good at it.

Nathan's last day of school is Thursday and he couldn't be more happy.
