Cousins and Best Buds

We had another fabulous, relaxing and fun weekend at the cabin with the Sievers and Nickolays - swimming, pontooning, swinging and enjoying the sunshine.

Best buds

We scream for ice cream!

  "Hey, where's my ice cream?"

Baby best buds.

Cruising together

Everyone wants to push Hadley in the swing.

The first annual summer cousin picture (oldest to youngest) on the beach.  We plan to recreate this photo every year.

Miles loves the cabin.  When he knows we're going on the weekend he starts asking on the Monday before "can we go to the cabin today?"  He loves everything about it - lots of treats, lots of attention and lots of activity.  He had his 3 year check-up this week (gulp...  My baby!)  He did so well - showing the doctor how he can jump and count and how ticklish and giggly he is during the exam.  His stats:

• Weight:  30 lbs (50%)
• Height:  36 1/2 inches (25%)
• Head:  They no longer measure this - he's too old!

He had a great check-up - he's very healthy and developing normally.  He says so many funny things - the only one I remember at the moment though is this...  After spending time with his Auntie Rachel who is due in 2 1/2 weeks with a baby girl (we're all very excited) he's been putting stuff under his shirt proclaiming "I'm growing a baby in my tummy!"

Miss Hads - our wild child.  Here is her vocabulary at the moment:

• Hi
• baby
• all done
• ball
• Ruby
• mama
• daddy
• uh-oh
• bye
• Shhhh (with her little finger to her lips)

When asked, she can also point to her nose, teeth, belly button and head.  Speaking of teeth she now has the 4 front top ones which brings the grand total to six.  With all of these teeth she's become obsessed with brushing her teeth.  When we say "it's time to brush teeth" she opens her mouth wide, points to her teeth and says "ahhhhhhh."  She gets very upset when we take away her toothbrush.  She also gets very excited these days about: screaming (she's a loud screecher), baths, swimming and swinging.

Playing at the cabin is exhausting!
