Loving Summer.

The girls are really having fun this summer. It has been HOT HOT HOT, but they don't mind too much. They got to go swimming 3 times this week at Grandma's!

Here is Layla giving me kisses in the car. Sweet baby.

Hannah has her first boyfriend. His name is Chase - he is 5. They don't talk or play, but they smile at eachother :) That makes him her boyfriend..............That's my girl - boy crazy at 4: just like mama.

Layla also has a little friend. His name is Drew and I tell you what, he is a cutie. They have been buds since the baby room - too cute.

A rare appearance from me on my blog................

Adam goes for his 9 month check up tomorrow and we can tell he is just days away from taking off crawling. He really is just missing one motion and he will be gone. I don't think he is going to stop there either. He watches his sisters run around and can't wait to join in. He'll be up and walking before we know it. We are sucking up the last babyness in our house....taking turns giving him bottles and putting him to bed because he is so sweet. We love feeding him his baby mush and playing peek-a-boo. Adam plays so big now, but unlike the girls, it gets old after one or two "so bigs". He needs a rougher game than that. He likes to be thrown up, hung upside-down, spun, tickled.......Boys are fun.

Sprinkler!

Update on everybody.

Hannah started t-ball this weekend. It was very cute and she seemed to really enjoy it! It helped that her two best friends in the whole world are on her team.Caitlin, Hannah and Sofia.

Hannah's first hit (it was a good one) and daddy telling her where to run. This is all new to her.

Hannah has a very busy summer of parties and field trips. Throw in some swimming and a few holidays - she should have an awesome time.

Adam is doing good and getting ready to crawl. He has perfected his backwards crawl, so we know he is getting close. This is going to change our world a bit since it is nice to set him down and know he can't go anywhere. We do loose him occasionally though when Hannah decides to take him somewhere. She loves that baby. Adam sleeps all night now from about 7pm until 6am or so (sometimes as late as 8, but never for mommy on a weekend). He gets 4 bottles a day and 3 "meals". We hope he gets some more teeth soon so he can start eating some table food. He does a lot of choking when we try it now. He is a very even tempered baby - not crabby and demanding, but not super smiley either. We did get a video of him belly laughing at Hannah. It is hysterical!

Layla is also doing well. She is quite a little ham these days. She is very smart and talks a lot for 2 years old. She is very bright and outgoing. When she wants something, she is LOUD! Layla doesn't love the pool like Hannah does so we hope she warms up to it this summer.

Here is Adam laughing at Hannah. It is just too funny. He was practically crying.

Super Happy Baby

Brushing teeth

all three of them.....

I'm Two......

Layla will happily tell you how old she is these days. She had a great day and a very fun party. As soon as she woke up we gave her new bike. She loves to sit on it and be pushed around. We know peddling will come later.She got a sand and water table for the yard which should provide hours of messy entertainment.She all kinds of other goodies too.Her party was a little overwhelming, so she took a break with Papa and watched some Sleeping Beauty. and she loved it when everyone sang to her.

hmmm... deciding what to play with next.
At her 2 year check up on Monday, Layla weighed in at 26.5 lbs (25%) and is 35.25inches tall(75-90%). She is just a healthy little girl. Her second year of life was awesome.
