Kids n Grapes

Well, my oldest prefers them from the vine and my youngest from the bottle:)...

They are part Italian:)

Swim and Snack Buddy

Chris' new swim lesson buddy Mia. Mia is the daughter of a girl who I used to work with at Pietown...small world in Burbank, Ca!

I think I love these hoodies as much as the pjs with footies:)

Day 2: Kicking

Fear has left the station. Today, no clinging to mama. We went straight to kicking and then quickly onto splashing.

Day One: Blowing Bubbles

Today marked the first day of mommy & me swim lessons for Chris and I. Chris was very excited to hear that we were going somewhere to swim in a BIG pool. Once we got to the pool I could tell he was ready for water but practiced great patience while we listened to our instructor before officially getting wet. At first Chris held on to me with a tight grip (I'm always happy when Chris shows some caution because usually this kid has no fear!), but slowly began to relax once he was in the water after a bit. Today's Lesson: Blowing Bubbles...so much fun!

June Gloom Go Away!

Even though the first half of our days lately have been filled with gray (even heavy drizzle yesterday!), we have managed to start celebrating summer with a few dips in our fancy backyard pool:)

Noah has finally caught up in size and ability with his girlfriend Maggie...actually I think he is bigger now!

While Noah was napping, Chris kept begging for him in the pool. He finally got his wish! So cute to hear Chris ask for his brother all the time when he's not with us:)

Look Who's Standing Now...

9 months and just a few days shy of 21 months

Today is Noah's actual 9 month birthday! Chris will be 21 months in 5 days. My babies are almost 1 and 2! Where has the time gone? A good friend once said "The days are long, but the years go fast!"...I so get it now! I just put out our swing Grandpa Bill bought for Chris last year and Noah loves it, especially swinging high. It is so funny how these boys are so different because Chris has never really enjoyed riding in the swing, he's more of a slide guy:) So, Noah's new favorite things are crawling EVERYWHERE and swinging. Chris LOVES walking Bear. Needless to say we get a lot of exercise around here which I know is good.

Next week Clint and I start touring preschools for Chris, I can't believe it!
