Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer

Now that summer is upon us and life isn't requiring us to move along at the speed of light, we are able to enjoy the finer things in life.

Jackson has learned how to put on his own shoes...even if they are on the wrong feet.



Samuel and Jackson love bathtime...but then again who wouldn't with all those fun colors.




Samuel has found his feet...they are the greatest toys in the world...right behind his brother, that is.



Jackson loves to read (takes after his Mama on that one).



Samuel is getting so strong. He is a pro at rolling back to tummy and has even managed to go tummy to back several times. Tummy time is happy time nowadays.



Jackson finally meet Mio's cats, Frankie and Johnny. I had NO IDEA that he loved cats that much. I don't think he has ever been around a cat in his life (with the exception of Ziggy RIP). He was so cute chasing them around saying "Where's Johnny? Where's Frankie? Where's Kitty Cats?"



Samuel still isn't a great sleeper at night waking 2-3 times a night. I think this is partially due to the fact that he doesn't eat consistently during the day due to busy schedules and my attentions being taken up by an active toddler. I am hoping when he starts on rice cereal (next week!!) he'll start sleeping in a bit longer stretches. He naps just fine...it's the night time thing that I'd like to see improve. Samuel got a new bedroom when we had to do a little rearranging to accommodate the arrival of my sister and Myles into our comfy abode. I am pleased with how his new room turned out.



Jackson and Samuel are able to play more together each day that passes. Samuel likes to sit in his exersaucer to play with his own toys, and it puts Samuel up on Jackson's level for them to interact. Jackson has even been known to get out his "soccey ball" and throw it to Samuel saying "catch it". Samuel just giggles. His smile is the biggest and brightest when Jackson is around.



The boys are growing so fast. I love each and every day with them. Both are so well behaved, good tempered and have their own little personalities. My life is blessed.

We look forward to enjoying our summer. Bapa has already started to grill out (YUMMY), and we have already gotten out the sprinkler toys.


Some fun adventures we have planned for this summer are:
Going to meet and ride on Thomas the Train
The Indianapolis Children's Museum
The Cincinnati Zoo
Soccer Tots
The Evansville Children's Museum
St Louis Cardinal's Baseball Game

And lots of time to chill out!


Happy beginning of Summer!!
