2 Months and 4 1/2!


McLleyton happy at 2 months!


"mommy, is it safe to leave me with her...do you see the shiner on her head?"


Early morning pajama party!


Smiles for Shae Shae


Life at 41/2...at the Holland fair!


It's amazing how being second born you try things SO much earlier :).



Yesterday McLleyton was 2 months! Amazing, wonderful and sad all at the the same time!! The weeks are flying by! I tried to prepare myself that time would go by faster with him, but it still surprises me! He is no longer that tiny newborn! He weights 13 lbs 10 oz now and is wearing all 3-6 month clothes! He has these adorable roles and chubby cheeks his sisters just can't resist kissing! He is still sleeping great - eating at 8pm and then again at 4 or 5am and then 7 or 8am. His eating schedule is normally about...7am, 9:30am, 12:30pm, 3:30pm, 6pm,8pm- it seems to be working well, as this little boy LOVES to eat! He also continues to be a non spitter- which if you were around my girls you know what an awesome thing this is! They really never stopped spitting, so to have a child who doesn't need to wear bibs and doesn't require 10-20 minutes of burping time during each feeding is an amazing praise!! We are SO thankful!! I am madly in love with this sweet boy!

Yesterday was also a big day for Shaelyn ... who is now 4 1/2 :)! Very important at that age to have the 1/2 added on! She continues to be great helper and sweet soul! She is loving summer and can't get enough of the pool. (Hence the fact that her beautiful blond hair is now green...not a little green...but bright green!). Her swimming has come so far this summer! She can totally swim, dive to the bottom, hold her breath and swim under across the pool - she's doing great! She has loved all the cottage time and being with her cousins, I think she may have a little Lauren withdrawal when school starts back up!

Monreau is also enjoy summer. She keeps us entertained and laughing. She has such a different personality than Shaelyn and I can't imagine our family without her. She loves to entertain and make people laugh, but it's funny because she's naturally good at it. She doesn't have to work hard and she is very comfortable in her own ways. Even in the midst of getting in trouble... bring down a book to read at 10pm, coming to our room in the middle of the night, taking her diaper off by herself... (oh, the list could be long:)), she has this silly personality that at times can make it harder to discipline her (don't worry we still do :))...and then we laugh about it later. We're going to potty train later this month, that should be very interesting :).

Hope you're enjoying summer!!
