Oh the Joy!



Just like journal entries, blogging can be a remind of how time flies faster than expected.
Here is a small recap of the last 2 months:
Jed turned 30! We celebrated his party at Coyote Bar & Grill with 20+ friends. He surprised everyone by showing them his new "haircut" to signify the momentous occasion.

Next, we bought a minivan! Although I look 22, actually am 26, I am already in the "soccer mom" stage. It is great being able to fit more than 2 adults and 2 carseats when going to our favorite toddler hot-spots.

Natalie & Collin are growing so much...well Collin more than Natalie. But that is no surprise, as she is still a head shorter than her friends. Collin just turned 4 months and is wearing 6-9 month clothes already and weighs almost 15 lbs.
He is so smiley, especially in the morning. Both dimples come out and his whole face lights up.
He has started laughing and is now ticklish. We love trying to get him to squeal when nibbling on his neck or shoulder. Natalie refers these triggers as "tickle spots".

Not to get overly personal, but we do not teach Natalie ALL anatomy of our bodies to avoid any embarrassing moments of pointing and commenting on others. Now that Collin is here, and I am nursing, Natalie is getting more interested in how that process works. So...she simply refers to that part of the female body as their "milks". Now she feels it is important to nursing her doll "Willa", along with other motherly duties.

Here is the kiddos (and Willa) enjoying some "tummy time".
