A Painted House

It's done! 6 months of dust and construction, and here we are.


And as a reminder, here's where we started!

4 Months

4 month stats for our lima bean Liam Dean:

• 13 lbs. 15 oz. (has nearly doubled birth weight).
• Ate rice cereal for the 1st time last night - was very interested in it and tried grabbing the spoon from my hand to feed himself.
• Smiling, cooing, and belly laughing quite often.
• Rolls over from tummy to back.
• Loves to stand on our laps w/ assistance.

Birthday Party

Newman created this great video of Ani's 3rd birthday party a few weeks ago. Thanks!

Father's Day

Thanks to a friend who, at the last minute, could not use his family's Twins tickets today, we were able to go. It was my first time at Target Field. A nice, impromptu Father's Day activity for our fam!

Photos

We so loved our photo session gift we got for Ani from Tim & Eric when she was 8 weeks old that we went back to Eldridge, IA to Mark's Place to get more taken for Liam. Ended up getting a few of all of us, plus some of the kiddos together. These are scanned in from a computer print out so obviously not the best quality, but it's all I have so far because we have not placed our actual print order yet.

Oh To Be Three

Three years old and three months old within 1 day!

Ani had a great birthday celebration w/ friends yesterday at our house. The weather was so wonderful, it felt like the official first day of summer. Yay! We also took her on her actual birthday (June 1) to Nickelodeon Universe at the MOA where she got a complimentary unlimited wristband - although she was not tall enough to ride some of the rides.

Liam is 3 months old as of June 2. He has been rolling over from belly to back if he gets angry and feisty enough and just laughed for the 1st time the other day. He is still proving to be extremely mellow compared to his sister. He's also sleeping about 6 hours straight each night in his crib, then he joins us for the rest of the night.

Love these kiddos!
