Daddy & Daughter

Daddy just enjoying his sweet little girl:

New Jammies

Grandma MJ sent the boys some new jammies. They loved them. Brady is a Junior Firefighter and Jackson's is dinosaurs...of course!

Trip to the Dentist

The boys had a dentist appointment today. It was the first time for both to actually get their teeth cleaned rather than just looked at. After a rocky start, Jackson did great:



Brady is so laid back that he was great the whole time. He even wante his teeth cleaned after watching Jackson do it. And, they are great there with the kiddos so that made it easier.




They left with a clean bill of health and some fun toys, which is really all one can ask for.

More Sweet Charlotte

My mom took this picture of the little munchkin. It is too sweet!

Aquarium

The boys love to go to the Aquarium. Dustin was out of town at his fantasy football draft, so the boys and I headed there to play. My mom, Grancy, was in town and she stayed with Charlotte.

The boys had fun:



And, got new toys, which they proudly showed off:

First Day of Jr. Kindergarten

Jackson's first day of Jr. Kindergarten went well. He actually wanted to go to St. James, which is a nice change from last year.

At home:


At school:



He does not look thrilled to go to school in this picture, but that is just how Jackson looks when forced to take a photo. After school today he told me he had a great day, which makes me happy!

Goofing Off

I found the boys playing in my car this morning. They were being silly, so I decided to take a few photos:







And Brady singing his ABCs into a flashlight/microphone:



The little things in life that keep them entertained!

Budding Photographer

Jackson loves to take pictures. My parents got him a camera that he loves to use, but he is also very proficient with my I-Phone. Usually I don't even know when he has taken pictures and I just see them on my phone later.

Here are some pictures I recently found on my phone:

Sweet Smiles

Charlotte and her sweet smile:

Happy 2 Months, Charlotte

Charlotte is now two months old and is doing great!

Weight: 10lb, 1oz (30%)
Height: 22 in
Head: 50%



Charlotte had her two month appointment where she got 3 shots. She did so great. The first shot did not really even bother her, but by the second she was so angry she was as red as a tomato. But, the crying lasted less than a minute and she was back to her sweet self!

Charlotte continues to be such a wonderful baby. She smiles all the time, the sweetest smile, and loves to coo and talk with anyone that will pay attention. Charlotte still eats between 6 and 7 times a day and naps in every three hour cycle. She naps great and can fall asleep on her own with minimal fussing. Dustin gives her one bottle a day around 7:00 so he can spend a little time with her.



She is also sleeping great at night. I generally feed her around 10:00 or 10:30 and then she sleeps until 6:00 or 6:30. It is great!

Charlotte likes to hang out in her bouncy chair, the swing and on her playmat. She generally lays on the floor and takes in the chaos going on around her. A couple of days ago Jackson had a dance party while she played on her activity mat and I had finger puppets dance for her. She had the best time!



Jackson and Brady continue to adore their sister. But, Jackson especially adores her at this point. He is constantly kissing her and checking on her to make sure she is always okay. Brady loves her as well, but is just more interested in other things!

Charlotte is such a wonderful little ladybug that completes our little family of five. We all adore her and can't wait to see how she changes in the months ahead!

Seriously, Brady?

This is how I found Brady sleeping this morning:



Notice the grate that covers the air vent from his floor:



The always look like such angels when they sleep!

Charlotte's Faces

Sweet Charlotte and her many faces:
