2 Peas in a pod

Everyday I look at my kids and think how much a like they look. I went back and looked at pictures of Lukas at Blairs age and they really do look so much a like. They are both adorable of course. Seriously, take a look tell me what you think?

Blair

I think Lukas especially looks like Blair in this last picture of him.

4th of July

We had such a fun Fourth of July this year! We just partied the day away. Lukas had such a blast. We went to Dans family first and had yummy food. Lukas swam and Dan and Lukas played sponge dodge ball. Blair and I just watched and hung out enjoying the sun. Later we went to my grandmas to have a bbq and do fire works. Lukas had fun playing with Sofia, Abby and Maxx.

Blairs grin in this picture puts a smile on my face it is so cute.

I LOVED Blairs Fourth of July dress. I fell in love with it and had to have it right when I saw it.

I tried to get Lukas to pose for a picture by himself but he refused. He scooted right over and put his arm around Blair. Lukas's smile in this picture is adorable. He is a great big brother.

Lukas LOVED swimming with his cousins. He loved playing with the sponge. He kept putting it on his head and saying look mommy I am wearing a hat. He likes to pretend everything is a hat so I wasn't surprised.

He was wiped out and fell a sleep on the way to my grandmas house. We let him sleep for an hour then woke him up.

The kids had fun popping the pop its with the mallets.

Sparkler fun. Lukas LOVED the fire works and kept saying the colors the fireworks were making. Mommy that is a pretty green, pink and orange firework.

We thought Blair would be a sleep and wouldn't get to enjoy the fire works. Quite the opposite. She struggled going to sleep and stayed awake pretty much the whole day and night. I was fine with that since she was being really good. She enjoyed looking at the fireworks and didn't even cry when they got loud. She is such a good baby!

4 month check up

Today Blair had her four month well visit. She is doing great and growing like a weed!
Stats: ( The computer was broken so this was a rough percentile estiment.)
Weight: 13 pounds 6 ounces 50th percentile
Height: 25 inches 75 percentile
Head 16 inches 40th percentile
The Dr. said she was so strong for her age and so aware for four months old. It must be all her awake time. He even tried to sit her up because she was so strong. She wouldn't straighten her legs though. I asked him about the spit up and he told me to start feeding her cereal because it could help with this. I wasn't going to start solids till six months but we gave it a try tonight. She freaked out the minute we put her in the high chair. She would take a few bites and scream. She was so upset. I thought maybe she just wasn't ready. However, when I put her in the bath tub and she was calm I tried again and she gobbled it right up. She thought it was yummy stuff.

This is how ...

We play guitar hero! In our winter boots and diaper! Isn't that funny? I have tried to put Lukas's winter boots away numerous times but he gets so upset and he goes and gets them out of the box. I didn't want to put them to far away because they are still big on him and I think they will still fit this winter. I want to make sure I know right where they are. No big deal if he wants to wear them it is fine with me. He just chooses to wear them at the oddest times ever!

4 Months!

I can't believe my little girl is four months old already! She is growing so fast and getting so big. She now rolls both ways. She is better though at rolling from back to front and sometimes gets stuck rolling the other way. She is starting to sleep a little more and is taking better naps! She loves to sleep when Lukas is sleeping. AWWW the quiet I don't blame her. She takes all her naps in her bouncer or swing. She is sleeping more in her cradle at night but if she wakes or is having a hard night we let her sleep in her swing. She is starting to giggle and it is adorable and we love it. She is so good and rarely cries. She loves to smile and you don't have to work too hard to get one out of her. She loves to play with toys and is really good at grasping them. She went swimming for the first time today and loved it and splashed and played in the water. I wish we could get her to sleep longer stretches at night. She does have a few pretty good nights a week but we still struggle for the most part. She still has the worlds loudest baby cry! She is cutting two teeth on the top. We sure do love this little girl and we are grateful Heavanly Father sent us miracle baby number two!

She LOVES the exersaucer. She loves standing and playing with toys so this is the perfect thing for her.

I realize I cut a little bit of her off in this picture. I was just trying to get a smile and I wasn't really aiming the camera just hoping to get a good picture. I think her face is SO cute in this picture!

Party time

Today my parents had a big party at their house. If you ask them the reasoning for this you will get different responses. One response is, it is for Jims retirement, another response is, just cause we wanted to have a lot of people over for a fun time. Whatever the reason was it was fun and we were glad they had it. They had a band come and play. They had lots of yummy food, steaks, fish, hot dogs, hamburgers and home made root beer. My aunt and Uncle and their kids are here from AZ and it was Sofia's third birthday today so we celebrated that as well. Lukas had so much fun playing with his cousins. He of course didn't want to leave when the time came.

Blair is a HUGE hand sucker. She can be caught doing this a LOT! She is such a good baby and barley fussed today. She was passed around a lot and enjoyed ALL the attention she received.

Lukas has the cutest smile. Watch out girls! When Lukas gets older he is going to melt your hearts with his smile and big baby blues!

Lukas was excited about the pinata.

Uncle Juan you are such a tease. Lukas did acutally hit the pinata a few times even with Juan teasing him.

My 2 kids

I just wanted to post some cute pictures of my kiddies. They are just getting bigger everyday. I think I am finally adujusting to being a mom of two (I know I know Blair is three and a half months I should have been there WAY before now.) They keep me busy but they sure are cute.

Lukas is loving holding Blair more and more. Yes, that is raw sphagetti noodles he is eating. I am sure your thinking what kid eats raw sphagetti noodles. Well, mind does. Probably because I bestowed the bad habit on him. For some reason I like raw noodles.

Going going gone! I snapped the picture just as Blair was falling. Yes, I caught her. The look on her face is like Oh Crap!

I am thinking of having Blairs four month pictures taken in this outfit.

Blair is thinking I wish I could eat that cookie instead of Lukas's thumb.

CHEESE! Anytime I take Blairs picture Lukas is right there insisting I take his picture even if I just took his. It is cute and funny.
