rolling both ways now ...

OK it's official -- Sloane has rolled over three times today from back to stomach -- and umm ... I missed every time! Twice was on the playmat while I looked away for a few minutes and the last time just now in her sleep. First I looked at the monitor and she was sleeping on her back and now she's on her stomach :) -- just shy of four months old (which will be on August 16).

dry all day!

today was the first day that Colson wore underwear all day (even during nap) and stayed dry all day -- yes, even during nap!

i'm sure this will be a two steps forward, one step back process ... but we are making progress, little by little.

she rolled over today :)

just shy of 12 weeks old! Sloane rolled from stomach to back today at the end of her afternoon nap ... now she looks like a turtle on her shell ;)

Three-Year Wedding Anniversary - June 28, 2011

Father's Day 2011

Colson's father's day craft from school -- the T.A. spelled his name wrong :/

Colson and I went to Walgreens and picked out a father's day card and a fun recordable book called "dad & me" ... you can record for each page and we did it early father's day morning while Nick was shaving and Sloane was taking a nap ... thank-god Colson cooperated and the recording went relatively smoothly (only had to re-record one page!).

We had a spontaneous day, starting with a family trip to the asian grocery store. Per Nick's request we picked up vietnemese sandwiches for lunch and some fresh seafood for dinner -- oysters and I sauteed some fresh clams served with steamed rice.

Both kids took 2 1/2 hour naps that afternoon and so did mom and dad!

Sloane 2 months - June 16th

2 months already! Can you believe it ... her appt went well, but this time she was also due for a round of shots :( she did really well ...

She's growing well too -- not as chunky as Colson at the same age, but she's 80th percentile for weight at 12 pounds, 70th percentile for length at 23 inches, and only 45th percentile for head circumference at 15.2 inches. Her small head is probably why she has such great neck control and can already raise her head and chest pretty high when on her tummy.

Happy Birthday Nick! June 16th

Nick turned the big 3-1 a few days ago ... it was on a Thursday so we opted for a little family party :) I made seared ahi salad with avocado and cucumber and grilled up some ribeyes with a baby greens salad. Of course no party is complete without cake! Instead if indulging in an entire cake, I opted for a champagne cake square from Nugget -- Nugget has a great bakery! I recently co-hosted a baby shower for my girlfriend Crystal (twins!) and ordered a delicious fruit basket cake from Nugget too ...

Anyway - Colson thought it was pretty fun to sing and blow candles out, once, twice, I think we did it three times :) We told him that morning that it was daddy's birthday and that we were going to have a "party" later that day after he got home from school. That whole morning he was skipping around sisnging: "daddy-party, daddy-party" So cute.

He has gotten used to parties -- from March to June we had a bday party almost every weekend. This past saturday he asked if we were going to a party!
