B's Big Swimming Debut

Some dear friends invited us to go swimming last weekend...We had a blast! I don't know if I was more fun to see B in his miniature swim trunks or see B's reaction to the water?

Getting ready for the pool was a little bit of a challenge in that the smallest swimming diaper available is for 16 plus pounds and the smallest swim trunks are 3-6 month size. Let's just say that the diaper acted as more of a floatation device and the swim trunks looked like pants...

At home, B loves to take baths. He smiles and coos when he is placed in the water and almost giggles (I am hoping that will come soon) when water is splashed near his little body.

The pool just seemed like a gigantic bath tub...he loved it!


B has started to move his eye brows to make faces that really emulate some of Chad's expressions. In this photo, his eye brows make him look concerned or somewhat skeptical of the water...we promise...he really did seem to love the water!

A Long Over Due B Update

B is enchanted by Chad's voice...he is mimicking faces and making us smile and laugh everyday.

Owen has helped teach us both about true multi-tasking...this is our favorite "hands free" device!

Waiting for Chad to get home for dinner...this was the third "outfit" (onesie) that Owen had worn on this particular day.

B's neck is getting stronger...he doesn't enjoy my mandated tummy play time in his play gym near as much as he enjoys his Bumbo chair...I think he looks like a little man in this photo.

Ready set...click! B's smiles are becoming more consistent and lasting longer...I can't help but run for the camera when I see these precious little eyes and that little dimple...of course, I am biased!

Now that we have gotten a handle on venturing out of the house with a baby, carseat, stroller, diaper bag etc. We have enjoyed some "play dates" (really more for me than for B) these are our dear friends Caroline and Cooper, after we enjoyed a breakfast date. Cooper is 11 days older than Owen.

B has recently started to coo/laugh when he hears Chad's deep voice...it's hysterical. This is the only time in B's life when a double chin will be so endearing!

B joined the Rangers band wagon after he heard that they are finally having a good season. He thought it was best to sport the diaper with his Rangers jersey. We are ready for our first official outing to the ball park...we just need a cool summer evening if that is possible.

If there is ever any doubt about who B's dad is...check out these feet! He is starting to look at them and reach for them while he sits in our laps or swings in his swing.

Thank you so much for all of your prayers for B and for us as we have all continued to celebrate his arrival and our transition into parenthood. We went to the pediatrition this week for Owen's two month check up and learned that he is healthy and right on track. We have been able to get his reflux under control which has blessed us with a much happier and more comfortable little guy. Our next big feat...consistently sleeping all the way through the night...B is well on his was but occasionally likes to let the neighborhood know that he is hungry before the sun comes up...we will keep you posted...

Just Like My Dad

This photo was taken a few weeks ago (and yes, it is a little blurry) but I just had to capture and share Chad and Owen's hair. They both took special time to style it so they could match!
