June 2008

Summer is in full effect here in FL and we are enjoying every minute of it! The weather is hot, but that hasn't stopped us from having fun with visitors, bbq-ing with the sound of thunder in the distance, hitting the beach to watch the sunset, and celebrating Kealon's 3rd birthday 2 weekends in a row!
There aren't too many new things to report...
Kealon just got his yearly physical. He measured 3ft, 2 in and weighed 32 lbs. On the growth chart he was right in the middle! Haidyn doesn't have another appointment until 4 months, but I'm interested to see how much she has grown since her 2 month visit. She is starting to get better now being left with other people, as long as mommy is not in the same room. I don't want to jinx this, but the past 2 nights she has slept for 9-10 hours without waking up to eat! I think it's just a growth spurt, though...I really can't complain AT ALL, because any other night she's been sleeping for 6-7 hours at a time. I love this kid!
I guess that's it!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Kealon!

Kealon celebrated with his class at daycare...



...and with us and the Smith's at home!


He HAD to have a pink, "smallberry" cake.





He got a big boy bike from Mommy, Daddy, and Haidyn.


We are having a little pool party this weekend, so there are more pictures to come!

We're Back!

I can't believe it's been a month or so since my last post! I was doing so well there for a while...
Haidyn is now about 2 1/2 months old and chunkier than ever! Many have compared her arms to those of the Michelin man. She also has a pretty hilarious double chin :) Other than doing a lot of eating and sleeping, Haidyn has been busy smiling and cooing, kicking in the tub, bouncing in her jumper, and batting at toys or other objects placed in front of her. She is growing so fast!

Kealon is still enjoying his role as big brother. He has been so gentle and caring with his sister...I'm just enjoying this while it lasts! Kealon is really growing, as well. His vocabulary keeps getting bigger, along with his imagination. He has started looking at the clouds and asking us if we can see dinosaurs, trains, horses, etc. It's so cute! Other big accomplishments include being able to pull up his shorts and undies on his own (finally), hopping on one foot, tracing his own hand on paper, and counting to twenty.

We have done so much in the past month, but for most of the time we didn't have a working camera! But don't worry--I couldn't live without one for very long. I missed out on pictures of Haidyn's 1st trip to NJ and her first wedding :( But I did get a few pictures of our visit with Auntie Jan and Haidyn's 1st trip to Disney. There are other candid shots, as well, so check out the newest album!
