Excitment!

Go Irish!

Alyssa got a Bumbo seat and absolutely loves it. She always wants to be up and looking around so this is perfect for her.

It's not everyday you see something like this in your backyard (well 2 houses down)! The kids got to get up close and touch the balloon, it was really exciting!

How cute is she. . . she now rolls over from her tummy to her back, so big!

Brady played soccer this summer, he is quite good!

What you talking about?

1st time climbing a tree, such a big boy!

Water Park & A New Toy

We went to the Monon Center water park today, per Brady's request. He loves the water and had a great time swimming and going down the kiddie water slide. He even started swimming on his on towards the end. He put his face in, circled his arms and kicked his feet. . . getting so big! Alyssa slept most of the time and then splashed around for a little at the end. . . again getting so big!

We got out Brady's old car toy for Alyssa and he had to try it to make sure it still worked. It's a good thing he is a 3lb 4 year old and won't break all the little toys!

Then Alyssa got a turn, she couldn't really reach the toys but liked being up and looking around!

Enjoying the wonderful weather. . .

Hammock time with Gabrielle
Alyssa is all smiles and giggles now. She loves talking to anybody who will pay attention to her! Such a wonderful little girl who now sleeps through the night. . . yea!

Gearing up for our morning walk. . .

Look at that face, he has mastered the look of "who me? I didn't do it"

Tummy time, swimming & cake batter paint

For those who keep asking. . .

Ok so it has been a couple weeks and per some requests here is what we have been up to. . . swimming, waterpark, play gym, library, the list goes on and on! Alyssa still sleeps through most of the things Brady and I do and is generally still a good (non fussy) baby. Brady is loving summer and playing with his friends, just about everyday. We are definately keeping busy and having tons of fun!

Brady loves playing Mario Kart on the Wii, he is always wanting to get a trophy, well he accomplished it this weekend! He raced 4 races and came in 2nd overall. . . good job! Needless to say he was VERY proud of himself!

Catching the 6 frogs in our basement window with papa!

We went to the Monon Center (waterpark) a couple weeks ago with our neighbors, Brady loved it and got very upset when it started to storm so we had to leave. He was also a little mad that he wasn't tall enough to ride the slides, bummer!

We've been swimming a couple times at Uncle Ray's (Hailey and Aidan's uncle) pool. Brady is a fish, jumping in by himself without any floaties and no one catching him! Alyssa usually just sleeps in the stroller.

When left to entertain himself this is what happens, what a silly guy!

No, they don't usually sleep like this but I had brought Alyssa upstairs to wake up Brady and went to change the laundry and this is what I came back to, two wonderfully beautiful babies alseep!

1 month, socks, and Museum!

Alyssa is already 1 month old, where does the time go? We had her 1 month appointment and she now weighs 9 lbs 8 oz and is 22 inches long, so big! Alyssa is still an easy going girl who sleeps most of the time and is generally happy! Brady still loves her and loves having her around, lets keep this up! Such a goofball, Brady put on Josh's socks the other day and says " ok, I'm ready to go"

We went the the Children's Muesum with Jamie, Dylan and Cassius today and had a great time. It was our first official outting with just me, Brady and Alyssa (no extra help). Of course we had to ride the carousel, we also played in the water, sand and visited the dinosaurs.

He claimed he wasn't tired and was so excited to not take a nap, guess he was wrong!

Happy 4th of July!
