Fun in the POOL

Taija loves playing in the pool, especially when it's with DADDY! With his board exams coming up Justin has been studying ALOT, but he has been so good with Taija taking her on little Daddy-Daughter dates to the pool. Sometimes Luke and I come a little later and crash their party!

Uncle Dot

Uncle Scott and Auntie Kate came by for an overnighter on their way to their super fun vacation to the Cayman Islands...it was Uncle Scott's birthday so we made him a cake and sang the birthday song. Taija loved hanging out with her Uncle Dot, she made him a bed and he read her stories!

Last Day of SOCCERTOTS

Last saturday was Taija's last day of soccertots...she has loved going and will definitely miss it. We are currently looking for another summer program to sign up for...any suggestions??? Coach Cindy was really cute with the kids - they had to kick one last goal in order to get the medal.

Taija Ane - 2 1/2 yrs old

Luke William - 6 months

6 MONTHS!

I can't believe my baby boy is already 6 months! It seems like time is going by way too fast! Luke is such a happy, care-free baby. He really does just go with the flow...poor boy gets dragged around a lot to all of Taija's activities!

Luke's STATS
17 lbs. 14 oz.
27.5 inches long

- LOVES to motor around (not quite crawling, but so darn close)
- little turkey won't sit up on his own (I have been working on this, but he would rather tip over and scoot around)
- LOVES to eat his solid foods, haven't found one he doesn't like
- will just sit and watch his sister bounce around the room
- likes to watch tv (I couldn't get Taija to sit and watch tv until around 18 months)
- cutest smile EVER! loves to giggle with anyone who will giggle with him
- loves to be held, will seriuosly just chill on your lap if he has something to chew on
- no teeth yet, but I think he has some coming in

We love our little Luke-son!

Jumpers

The other day I took Taija and Luke to Jumpers...a cute place with a bunch of blow-up toys! We met up with some friends to celebrate a birthday and Taija had a BLAST!
