Kiddo Updates

Things sure are busy around here. We've been traveling a lot, but we have a month off now to get re-situated. Since we have some time, we decided to move Corbin into his big boy bed & work on weaning Cam from night feedings (if possible!)

Corbin did okay in the big boy bed the first night. He fell asleep next to his books, but he easily transferred back into bed. At five, Jon heard him crying & went to pick him up. He was on fire with a fever. He was completely lethargic for about 10 hours & suddenly snapped out of it.

Sick baby



The twins are all over the place. Jamie started crawling a couple of weeks ago, right after the 4th of July.



He's into everything now. They are both crawling all over me these days



Cameron started to pull up around the same time that Jamie started crawling.



He's also getting two new (if not more) teeth on top. This was taken over a week ago, and the two most prominent ones on top have already popped through



They are both pretty good at assisted standing





By the way, that is Jamie's "Cheese" face.



Corbin continues to love to learn. He's reading and writing over a hundred words & picking new ones up daily. He's been reading level 1 reader books & really looks forward to his story times every day.







We've gotten some great advice from a few teachers we know. We're starting to include more reading elements into the storytime (punctuation, title, etc.)and I'm going to soon try more sight words and first phrases with him. I just need to find the time to do that!

Here's a cute little bonus video of us all at the splashpark the other weekend:

Fourth of July Weekend

We had a very busy holiday weekend. As soon as we got there, we started snapping photos. We have a lot of pics of Corbin from his first summer at the lake, so the twins are due the same. We have quite the set-up there, too, with the large play pen, play quilts & tent. The babies get to stay contained and in the shade!

Here is Cameron, who recently learned to pull up on things.



We have photos of Corbin asleep in this hammock swing, so we managed to get the twins' pictures, too.





The babies loved the pool. They loved to splash. I'm glad each of my boys loves the water.



As always, there were a few boatrides to partake in



Corbin really loved the boat. He liked to stand up front & watch the waves.



I was very happy with their little celebratory outfits/swimwear this year. Most of it I got at garage sales, but my mom found Corbin's outfit at Costco.







I was very happy that my parents came over to visit with us!





The boatride put all 3 boys to sleep.

Can you believe it? The summer is half over already!
