Playing "Baby"

We have a 3 week old at our house. I nurse him every 2-3 hours. Yesterday Chloe and Caleb were playing "baby". Caleb was the baby. Chloe was the mommy. Caleb cried. Chloe told him to come over. She proceeded to lift up her shirt to pretend to feed him from her "muffs". Kyle and I watched in horror and the "baby" game was abruptly put to an end! Someday Caleb will be mortified by this story...

My Big Girl

This past weekend I realized what a big girl my little Chloe is becoming. On Saturday she helped peel approximately 70 tomatoes to help Beth and I can salsa. She was a HUGE help!

On Sunday we had a "Chloe Stopped Sucking Her Thumb Party." Kyle and I gave her the choice of anywhere to eat and she chose McDonalds. She also wanted to go to the park and we were able to make that happen too! Her determination with this has amazed me. She pretty much just decided she was going to quit her thumb and she did it...I'm so very proud of her. I'm also a little sad...she always loved sucking her thumb when I would hold her or read to her...my little girl is growing up....sigh...:)

Caleb enjoyed the party too!

Rolling

Cameron rolled over yesterday...and again today! Both times I laid him on his tummy (which makes him extremely angry!) and without any hesitation he rolled to his back. Caleb was an early roller too (at 3 weeks) so I guess he's taking after his big brother!

Cameron James!

He's here! Cameron James decided he could't wait until the end of August. He joined us on Saturday night at 11:20, weighing in at 6 lbs 11 oz and he was 20 inches long. Sheila and Cameron are doing well.

I titled this post "Fish" for 2 reasons:
1. We went to a "Go Fish" concert
2. My kids have transformed into little fish!!

Come On Over...

Come On Over To Adventureland!

There is something in my Mommy heart that gets great JOY in seeing my kids experience some of the same things I enjoyed as a child. That was the case when we took them to Adventureland a few days ago. As a child I would countdown the days and play "pretend" Adventureland in our living room. And now, as a Mommy I was able to see my own kids' excitement over many of the same rides that I used to frequent! As Caleb's arms waved in excitement when he was in line to get on the semi-truck ride, Tasha commented "See, your kids ARE like you!!!" Here is a taste of what we did...
