HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR!

Happy 9th Birthday to my niece and God daughter! You are a beautiful girl and are developing into a very helpful and mature little lady. We love you very much!

the Beach

Part II....We had a really nice time on vacation with my family. My brother and his family were down the first week and my sister and her family were there the second week. We were able to go out to dinner a couple of times. We enjoyed the beach daily and Sam loved riding the trolley.

It was nice to see how quickly Jacob and Taylor are growing up. BJ is getting so big too, 6 and a half months now. Him and Tommy had a great time sharing their toys and bathing together.

Vacation!

For the very first time in a very long time, we were able to spend some vacation time with my family. It was great having the kids hang out together and spending time with the grandparents and aunts and uncles.....more photos to come!

June

Tommy began solids at the end of May, we waited until he was 5 1/2 months because of our family history of allergies. He does love to eat, making plenty of noises just as his brother did. He appears not to like eating in the 2nd pic, though that may have something to do with the unexperienced 3 year-old feeding him and putting the spoon in a little too far!

Here is a scary tiger.
Tommy is just so happy.

In June, Tommy was moving forward with eating different foods, began to sit up more on his own, and even began to start moving along. Sam is being kept busy with going to a class at a little gym and having playdates. He knows all of his letters and is getting really good with numbers. He still really really loves all of his trucks and is quite fond of his animal figures.

More May.............

Eating his birthday cupcake.

Brothetly love. The end of the Swaddle-Me.

So Sam turned 3 in May. He is so grown up and so smart....I know, I'm his mother.....but he is and time flies. He still loves to be held and gets jealous of attention given to little Tommy. He is quite the conversationalist. He is a great big brother and is always trying to make Tommy laugh.

Tommy startedc to sleep much better in May, of course waiting until he could roll over to sleep on his belly. Thankfully our swaddling days are over, thought he would be swaddled until 2 years old! He's as happy as a clam most of the time and is just a delight to be with. He thinks Sam is the best thing in town.

MAY................

My Sammy is 3!! I really can't believe it. He had a snake and alligator party, a few of his favorite animals. He is growing up so quickly.....his language is incredible and he picks up tons of words each day. You should just hear him. He says "don't worry there are plenty"......."it was alright, not bad"............."of course I will". His imagination is rapidly developing and he loves to pretend. He has tons of energy, so that is my latest challenge, to get him active each day. Happy birthday Sam!

HAPPY BIrthday MOM MOM!!!
