Last few weeks

The highlight of our last few weeks was being able to see the Blue Angels all week long! They came in on Monday and practiced all week for the airshow on Sat/Sun. We could see them go right over the house!

This year was the first time that the noise bothered Lilly. She would cover her ears but wanted "more".

George also got his first taste of cereal last Saturday. As you can see from his face he was less than thrilled. He had his 4 month appointment and was in the 75th% for height and 20/25th for weight. Almost the exact same size as his sister. He is below what he should be eating in a day, but they said that is to be expected since he is so small.

I think that sister was the most excited to feed him. She still wants to help feed him everyday and he just smiles every time she gives him cereal! He has started warming up to the idea and has just started opening his mouth when he sees the spoon.

Watching the airplanes from the house. George (baby) LOVES to be outside. He even laid on a blanket in the grass and took a nap!

GO TIGERS:)

Lilly got some new headbands yesterday and couldn't wait to get home and wear them. As soon as she got ready for bed she quickly reminded me that I told her when we paid for them she could wear them. I guess all of them at once helps hold your hair better. She woke up this morning and put them all back in again! (there are 6 of them)

Busy Weekend

We got the kids' pictures taken this weekend. We quickly realized that trying to capture 2 happy children at the same time is quite a job. We ended up with some really great photos.

We broke out the "baby pool" this weekend to realize that it was a great place for Lilly to jump in the water! Like father like daughter... We have some great pictures of daddy jumping in the pool as a kid too!

Here's the preparations for another jump, this takes serious concentration folks!

Ahhhh Summer

We are absolutely loving this mild weather the past week or so. Lilly's new favorite thing is to go "barefeetie" outside in the grass.

Daddy teaching her how to play golf. Happy Gilmore eat your heart out.

I have never seen a kid who LOVES to have thier feet up in the air as much as George. This is the position we often find him in if he is lying on his back!

Contemplating....

Sister "holding" him for a picture.

Summer Fun

Lilly is really becoming a little helper now in the kitchen. The mark of every good chef is the taste test!

She made brownies "all by herself" one night for us...until we got to the pouring and oven part of course.

Teething possibly? George has started putting EVERYTHING he can get his little hands on in his mouth (he's been trying this for many weeks now, but has just mastered the full coordination and patience)

He's also learning that he can scoot down in his bouncy seat to reach his toys better. This kid loves to have his legs up!

A "quiet" moment with the monkey.

Faces

We get some pretty awesome giggles now...Don't these faces just make you smile?

Ok, sometimes even funny guys have to be serious.

First Week Back

This week was mommy's first week back at work. Considering Daddy was gone to CA for work, things went pretty smooth! Lilly is beginning to show some signs of missing both mommy and daddy and is acting quite whiney...but we're working on that!
As you can see we were all exhausted by this weekend!

George is beginning to try to reach and grab for toys and gets really excited to see familiar toys now. He is extremely vocal and loves to mimic your tongue movements (especially sticking it out!)

His legs are going nonstop right now an dhe loves to hold them in this position! I guess men are even aware of having good abs at this age!

Does't Lilly look like a giant next to him? At their last appointments about two weeks ago he was 11lbs, 2oz and she was exactly 28lbs.

Nap Time

I just went to check on Lilly napping to find this...

Apparently the floor is more comfortable today than her bed (I must say she did a pretty good job of re-tucking herself in). Looks like baby needed to sleep on the floor too!
