New Developments

Riley - She has been close to crawling for a little while but within the last couple days she is definitely on the move. I think she has 3 bottom teeth but I will have to double check in the morning. She eats stage 3 foods and can drink out of a sippy cup.

Reagan - She has been stringing more words together and says sentences like "No mommy, that's daddy's car" and "No mommy, I do it myself". She has been sleeping in a toddler bed for about 2 weeks.

Nathan - He is starting to say a few words. He says: "Oh" for open - "Un, Ooo, Eee" for One, two, three - "Caaa" for car. He has been sleeping in a toddler bed for about 3 weeks.

Vacation was a BLAST!

Our vacation is just about over. We did so many things and had so much fun. We spent time with GG, Gram, Grandpa Paul, Iris, Uncle Chuck, Aunt Shirley, and Aunt Patty. We went to a Zoo, Indoor Water Park, Lake, and a Wave Pool.

Nathan loved every second of the pools and the lake. My poor little man would start to shiver within 5 minutes of getting wet but we still couldn't get him out of the water. He went down the kiddie water slides all by himself about dozen times and he had no fear of the waves at the wave pool.

Riley also seems to be a little fish. She loved bouncing in the Johnny Jump at the water park and she doesn't seem to mind when she gets splashed in the face. She even went on the lazy river ride with mom a few times.

Reagan was a bit more cautious and would only go down the kiddie water slides if she was in mommies lap. But she did like to play with her watering can and hang out with Riley in the kiddie pool.

We took so many pictures, I had a hard time narrowing it down. The videos from the indoor water park are at the end of the post. The videos are kinda dark because I was using my regular camera but you can still make out how much fun the kids were having.

We had so much fun this week and we are so grateful to everyone who was a part of it!

This is how we Roll

We have been taking a lot more walks around the neighborhood lately. Reagan loves pushing the stroller. She doesn't care if it is a big stroller or a doll stroller as long as she gets to push. Nathan prefers to ride and that is just fine with me because he will run off in a flash unless he has his leash/backpack on.

Riley went to the pediatrician to see what they thought of her teeth. Unfortunately the doctor really didn't have any idea why the bottom two teeth are coming in with black spots on them. I scheduled an appointment with a pediatric dentist for next week. The receptionist told me that it is probably iron deposits from baby formula and that they can be cleaned off with some scraping. It has set my mind at ease a little bit, but I am still anxious for the appointment.

They weighed Riley at the doctors office and she came in at a whopping 18 lbs 11 oz. They didn't check her height but I am guessing it is around 28 inches.

Speaking of height, Grandma Gail will be here this Saturday and we plan on visiting a water park, amusement park and a few other places during her two week stay. I am really curious to see if we will be able to take Nathan and Reagan on the two-person inner tube water slides? The height requirement is 36 inches. I think we are a few inches short so if they are diligent about measuring they won't get on but I'm still going to hope we can sneak them for at least one ride with mommy and daddy.
