The cutest two boys ever!

I have lost count!?

Wow – it IS totally different with the second child!

I have no idea how many weeks old he is – I think he’s at 14??


I do know that he is 3 months old!



Sam is getting so cute! Everyone I say that to says that he has always been cute – but I think he’s making that transition from “infant” to cute and cuddly “baby.” Okay, he’s probably pushing 15 lbs – that might have something to do with it!
This picture really shows how long he has gotten - wearing all 6 month clothes!

We had a fun weekend in Holly last month. Daniel loves the mulberry bush.



He also loves bubbles!


We went on vacation to Silver Lake again this year. Andy found us a great deal on a camper to rent. We say that when the boys are both potty trained we are going to go back to camping in a tent – we’ll see!!!

We were actually grateful to have a nice big camper that week. The first morning we were there, Daniel woke up and threw up alllllllllll over. Then he had the runs the whole rest of the week, including gas pains that were so bad they made him cry and grab at his stomach every few minutes. Other than that and the cold weather, :D we had a great time.

It was cold, but we still hiked our way over to the beach a few times. Daniel had so much fun playing with Uncle Nate in the sand.

Sam was amazing! Of course, before we left I was so stressed out about where he was going to sleep and if he would be okay sleeping in the same area as Daniel. We ended up putting him on the bench of the table and he slept wonderfully! Even on the beach he did great!

When we got home however, he went through his 3 month growth spurt and was up 3 – 4 times in the night… We’ve been back down to just once for the past two nights – hoping that continues!
Daniel is a parrot. He is mimicking everything we say and talks in complete sentences half the time. And he is finally eating!! He’s been really picky since Christmas, but seems to finally be willing to try new things and eat (or drink) veggies. He loves V8.

We’re still working on the potty. He sits on it multiple times a day, but doesn’t go but once in a great while. At least he’s used to it and feels comfortable on it. We don’t think it will be too much longer before he really understands and wants to use it.

Daniel has to have an Echo done at the hospital on September 9th. Due to his age, they require that he be sedated. Due to this, he has to have a complete health and wellness check at the ped. prior to the Echo. Please keep him in your prayers – pray that his Echo show that his heart is working and growing perfectly. We appreciate it!
