Colton is 8 months old!

My baby is growing up too fast! He is already 8 months old! So what types of things is he doing now you ask???

• Sitting up
• Rolling everywhere
• Pushing up with his hands and rocking back on his legs/feet
• Putting EVERYTHING in his mouth
• Teething but still no teeth
• Starting to drink water from a sippy cup (mainly playing with it)
• Eating 3-4 tubs of baby food a day
• Slowing down on the amount of nursing you want to do (I don't mind it because you are also biting me!...not cool Colton...not cool...but I still love you!)
• Starting to sleep more at night (you slept until 3:30 Thursday night, 4:40 Friday night and then 6 am Saturday night of this past weekend!)
• You talk all the time...first word was DaDa (of course...I just birthed you...but hey give your daddy the ego boost! LOL)
• Disclaimer...you are probably not crawling yet because of me. I've been afraid to put you down on the floor much with your sister 'dancing' around all the time I was afraid you would either fall and hurt yourself or she would hurt you with one of her toys or dances, etc. So don't worry about that yet little man...you will do it soon. I'm enjoying my 'baby' time with you. :-)

We love you!

Lauren's 3 year check up

I took Lauren to the Dr last week for her 3 year check up and she is in the 75th percentile for her height and 75th percentile for her weight.

Stats:

Height = 38.27 inches

Weight = 32.02 lbs

I can't believe that she is already 3 years old! She acts like a teenager with the way she acts and talks but she will always be our baby girl! Her new thing lately is to act out things that happened to her. She will say "mom, I bumped my hand like this!" and then act it out. She will also let me know when she wants me to give her "special" attention like when she acts hurt and comes up to me and I don't say what she wants...she will say "mommy say Awh!" so I of course oblige her. :-) She is still all about princess things and loves wearing lip gloss, dresses and girlie shoes!

Head - no head measurements at 3 years

Sibling Love

Is this not the sweetest!

Don't go sissy!

This is what I'm blessed with each and every day! I love them so much!!!!

Happy Father's Day!

Babe I know I don't say it often enough (especially with our schedules lately) but you are truly the best husband and father a wife could ask for! I love seeing you with our kids as it makes my heart melt. Lauren and Colton are SO lucky that God picked YOU to be their father! Thanks for all the amazing things you do for us! We love you and Happy Father's Day 2010!

Lauren's 3rd Birthday Party

This morning we celebrated Lauren's 3rd birthday party with a bowling party at Fast Lanes with six of her closest 3-year old friends! She had a blast bowling, eating pizza, eating cake, opening gifts and then playing games! It wiped her out as she is currently napping (which is how I'm able to post this so fast!) :-)

The birthday girl...my baby...I mean my "big" 3 year old!

7 Year Anniversary in St John's

Kraig and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary this past week in St John's. Many thanks to our wonderful families for watching our two kiddos while we were away. We sure missed our babies but had fun in the sun!

Iguanas are everywhere!

Boat Damage

Trunk Bay

This house belongs to the owner of Qualcomm

Kenny Chesney's house is the yellow one in the center of the picture that sits back a bit.

A plane wrecked here a few years ago and this is part of the plane in the water just off the beach.

This is the old custom's check in for the British V.I.

Nice boat!

This corner lot has two houses on it that used to belong to the Rockefeller's. This is where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stay when they visit. The captain said you know when they are there because paparazzi boats will line up on this corner.
