Not My Idea of a Milk Bath

This is what happens when you leave John too long with a bowl of Cheerios!

John's First Trip to the Dentist

John had his first trip to the dentist last week! He was excited when we arrived...the orange balloon and bag full of goodies were right up his alley! However, when Dr. Kenney tried to look at his teeth he wasn't so sure. So...Dr. Kenney got his workout for the day by tossing John around a few times to make him laugh, and in turn, getting a good look at his teeth. Everything looked great, he has all but his last four molars, and he giggled until he hurt...not a bad first trip to the dentist!

Ten Months

Elizabeth was ten months old on Saturday! Time is flying by SO fast. Our swing, bouncy seat and activity mat are long gone...she is about to move from her bucket carrier to John's current car seat (he's graduating to a bigger one, too.) She is pulling up and beginning to cruise on furniture. This baby girl is D-O-N-E with bottles-she wants her formula in a cup! She laughs constantly, is becoming such a good sleeper (we had a little trouble back in the spring thanks to tough teething-which by the way, she has six teeth with two more on the way!) She eats pretty good, but sometimes would much rather play than stop to eat. Her hair is getting thicker with a little curl above each ear-but it is super curly when wet! She loves the water so far like her big brother. Her favorite toy is anything John has-learning to share is hard, but we're working on it! She and John play really well together, and love to make each other laugh. Sweet girl!

Splish Splash, WE Were Taking a Bath!

Last night was the first time John and Elizabeth took a bath together! He is old enough to be careful around her, and she is big enough to be out of the baby bathtub. They had a great time splashing and getting clean!

Backyard Fun

Jamie, Matt and the girls came over yesterday afternoon to enjoy birthday leftovers and some backyard fun! We are trying to find ways to beat the heat this week-looks like it is going to be super hot!

I love this picture. Sarah said John "needed" her to hold his hand when he was sliding down. After he got to the bottom, the two of them would pose each time for photos-precious!
