When You're Smiling...

As I've mentioned...we've been blessed with a very chatty, happy little girl.

"Talking" with Aunt Erin.


This isn't the best picture, but she does the cutest thing...she smiles at you and then rolls to her left side, like she's shy. She does this with Daddy a lot.

New Apron

Caden still enjoys helping me mix and bake things, so I found this little apron at The Dollar Tree. He kept pulling at the ties but for the most part kept it on. He's a big helper.

Frozen Yogurt

Caden ate his first frozen yogurt cone this past Saturday. Jason had a family wedding to go to in NJ, so my mom and sister came to stay with us until Monday. I thought this would be a good way to try to beat the heat a little. I knew he would enjoy it!

"Hmmm...I think I like this..."

"What's dripping on my finger?"

Abigail just hung out while we ate.

Checking out the cone.

Once it started really dripping, Caden said, "I'll just hold it." We're not sure what he was holding, but that's how he sat for the rest of the time. It would just drip on his hand, and he didn't care.

Too busy eating to smile.

The final look.

It looks like she was glaring at me...maybe she wanted some too?

More of Jason's Talent

Jason created these for Caden's "Big Boy Room" with canvases from another project he was trying and didn't like. So, we had the canvases and the paint...so I guess you could say it's free artwork! They hang on either side of his window.

The GBMC is Back

The Grandma Book of the Month Club (GBMC) is back again for Abigail! My mom gave Caden a book each month for the first year of his life, and now the club has started back up for Abby. For her first month she received:
For her second month, she's been enjoying:

"Thanks Mammy!" - love Abigail

Abby at 2 Months

Wow, 2 months old already! She had her 2 month appointment today. She did pretty well with the shots. She didn't even cry after the first one...but the second one wasn't fun. She was a little fussy in the evening, but not too bad. She now weighs 10 lbs. 14.2 oz. (53rd %tile) and is 23.75 in (92 %tile - or a "long baby" as her Dr. said).


Abby spends her days either smiling and cooing at us or her bugs on her bouncer (as seen above) or just giving me really intense looks like when she was in her swing. She is awake a LOT more now, which is really nice. Her brother has been talking to her more lately which she really enjoys. She also enjoys turning in a complete circle while at her play gym. She loves to sleep on her left side with her head extended all the way back - doesn't look comfortable to me but whatever works for her! I'm letting her go 6 hours between meals at night which means I feed her at 10 p.m., 4 a.m., and then we get up around 7:30 a.m. She is just such a good baby! We're so lucky.

Father's Day (a week late)

Lately Caden has to be in the mood to get his picture taken...



This is as good as it gets.
Anyhow...Happy Father's Day, Jason, and all the other dads out there!
