A day (2 hours) at the beach

Today the boys and I ventured out to the beach for a quick trip. Beautiful day and great waves!

I heart rainbows

sleepyheads...

Some recent Pat A Cake work

I'm 20lbs Y'all

It was time for Keaton's check up so we made the 1 1/2 hour drive back to his pediatrician. (I'll probably be switching them to a closer office in the fall) He had 3 shots and all the routine measurements. He's doing great. 20lbs 4ozs and 28" long

Onto some more exciting news.....this is my 100th post!!!

officially a sitter

We've been working on this for a little while now but all of a sudden this past week he's been able to go long periods of time all on his own. The boppy helps to cushion any topples, so we're keeping it handy, but I'd say he's almost mastered this balancing a giant head/body thing. Now, on to crawling!

bruised and scraped again

Another bruise and scrape on Brayden's eyes and I might have to put a bubble on his head! The bruise came from a mad attempt to get away from Austin. The only problem was that there was a wall in the way. Then there's nothing like jumping off the ottoman onto the lid of a sippy cup to secure a nice laceration under the eye. It's getting better but with all of his battle wounds and my bruised right jaw (from the extraction), we look like we we're a couple of crash test dummies walking around.

3 in, 3 out

( This photo has nothing to do with teeth, but it caught my eye when I was browsing my gallery. My little guy in all of his adorable chubbiness.)

When 3 of Keaton's teeth decide to poke through, I had to have 3 of mine removed. Poor little guy basically had 3 come in all at once. I can see the other bottom tooth but it hasn't broken through yet. Meanwhile, I was in misery over these stupid wisdom teeth that have needed to come out for a while now. New year, new benefits, and a stubborn popcorn kernel finally sent me on my way to the oral surgeon. What an experience. I didn't know I could grow so sick of milkshakes and mashed potatoes but it has happened. It sounded like a dream come true to this ice cream loving girl. Anyway, took a few days "off" so hopefully they're healing just fine. I think my only break was from laundry though so it really wasn't a very restful time but I'm glad they're out!
