5 months

Don't call her skinny at 17.4 pounds and 27.5"! She's so happy! Giggling, into books, teeth ready to pop through, starting to sit up unassisted, stays dry all night (most nights), chunky thighs, ankles and wrists and has fallen in love with her papa. She's obsessed with her brother too, who loves kissing her.

Oh Gwenny-girl, we love you!

Yes, my kids rarely have all their clothes on. :)

21 months!

He's getting so big. He loves being mamas helper in the kitchen, cleaning up and bringing things for baby Gwen. He still loves kissing her and singing her songs. Lately he's taken a real interest in the potty and we rarely have any misses during the day.

Gwenny - 3 months!

Our little miss is growing up! No longer in her newborn dipes, smiling and laughing galore! She laughs with her whole body and lights up when she sees her brother. We love her to pieces!

She's 12.1 pounds and almost 25" long!

Hadley and Hyatt

These two really do love each other! They get kiddie cocktails at Grammy & Grampy's house and have learned the process quickly!

Summer is winding down and Elimination Communication

What an amazing summer it's been! Here are some recent photos.

We've been listening to some of Gwen's potty cues and some days she only goes on the potty and not in her diaper. Other days we only 'catch' 3-4 pees. It's like magic, but unbelievable! Babies are much smarter than we give them credit for. Gwen is actually peeing on the potty in that picture, and as you can see, she's happy about it! Some people call this EC or Elimination Communication.

Oh... Go Blue!

Up North Adventures

Garrett and I finally got up to the Spencer family cabin for some R&R. We all loved our time up there.

He's loving his little sister

The pictures speak for themselves!

Beach and splash pad!

Hadley, Hyatt and Gwen had a great day in St. Joe for a few hours. Gwen slept the whole time while Lindsey and I watched the kiddos play.

More Gwen pictures!

Little girls definitely get a lot of cute clothes to wear. Here she is in her first tutu!

Hyatt enjoying the summer

He's loving life!! Getting dirty and eating popsicles... Exactly as life should be!

Plus, our first family photo on the golf cart!

Had to share

These two love each other, even though Goose doesn't feel it sometimes! Hyatt is such a joy.

Great-Grandmas quilt

I'll be posting more pictures soon (I just got the last 2 months uploaded), but this picture of Gwen snoozing on Great-Grandma Byers quilt made me think that she's the FIFTH generation on girls to be warmed by this blanket. How special!

18 months and Mr. Mischevious!

He's a big brother at 18 months! Hyatt is growing and oh-so-happy... definitely adjusting to being a busy and smart toddler and being one of two babies in the house. We're just showing this beautiful boy as much love as we can!


Smiley boy

 

We're hearing more "Nooooo's" come from his mouth (they're drawn out and ridiculously cute!)

Our big boy!

Hyatt loves being outside (naked if possible), playing music and his little sister. Just a few more pictures!
