2 month check up

Well, I took Drew in for his 2 month check-up. Doctor Pradhan said he looks great! He is now in the average range instead of the 95%ile. He weighs 13 pounds, 24 inches long and his head circumfrence is 15 1/4 inches. He received 3 shots and one oral vaccine. He loved the stuff he had to drink. I think he was just hungry so he was willing to take anything. He didn't cry too bad for the shots. The first two weren't bad at all, but the third one put him over the edge! He screamed! Although, once she took the needle out and put his bandaid on he was fine. What a trooper!

Visit to the dentist

Cody went with me to the dentist today. I just wanted him to sit in the chair and see what they did to me to get him used to it.

She started counting his teeth and poked at them a little and he said it didn't hurt, so she kept going.By the time we left, we both had had our teeth cleaned! She said he was an excellent patient especially since he had never even been into the office with me before! So, we are good to go for another six months!

Swimming Lessons

Well, Cody has begun swimming lessons. This is his fourth year taking them, second year getting in without Mommy. He is doing really well. He is starting to use his arms and legs to swim and he loves jumping off the diving board as you can see. Last year he wasn't too sure about it, but this year I can't hardly keep him out of the water!

New Bedrooms

Well I finally got Drew's room done and more done in Cody's room. All that is left in Cody's room is the bedding which I will be ordering this week and Aunt Jackie is making his curtains. it will be nice to have everything done! Drew slept in his crib for the first time last night (7-15) and did really well. He went to bed at 11:00 pm and didn't get up until 4:00am. After eating he went back to bed and didn't get up until 8:30 am.

Fourth of July

We went to Courtney's parents and watched Coldwater Lake's fireworks on Saturday night. We had a perfect view. Cody also did some sparklers. Drew slept through the entire show.

We went to Union City on Wednesday night and watched fireworks with my parents and Mike and Alice Crenshaw. Drew was awake the etire time and actually watched the fireworks. It was fun watching his eyes follow them and he even smiled a couple times. I think he liked them. Then he slept throught the night too!

On the Fourth of July we had a pig roast here with both of our families. The kids had fun swimming and playing on the slip 'n slide. After the party we moved Cody's bed upstairs and he slept up there for the first time. He only came down about 5 times before he finally fell asleep.

On Saturday, July 7th we went to Larry and Cathy Reichhart's for their annual Fourth of July party. Cody was a little fish. I couldn't keep him out of their pond. I think we were in the water for about 3 hours. When it got dark the guys put on their annual fireworks display and the kids did sparklers. It was lots of fun!

Brother's

Aunt Courtney and Uncle Brandon got the boys matching outfits so they wore them to church and RJ's open house. Don't they just look adorable?

I wanna be like Mike!

Alli's fiance Mike has his hair spiked a little bit on top, but Alli cut his hair. How dare she do that! Mike came to church that weekend with no spike and Cody would not talk to him because he didn't like his hair. Anyways, Cody took a bath that night and when he came out of the bathroom he said "I look like Mike!"

Aunt Judy's visit

On Monday, June 25th, Cody, Drew and I took Grandpa and Grandma to pick up Aunt Judy from the airport. Both kids traveled really well. Grandpa and Cody sat in the way back of the van and talked the entire way there. Aunt Judy was very excited to see both the boys. Drew knows her as the one who feeds him everytime she holds him! We had lots of fun while she was here.















We had a picnic at Heritage park with some of Grandma's borther's and sister's and their families. My mom's cousin and her family were visiting from Sweeden as well.













We also had a cookout at Alli's new house with both our family and Uncle Kim's family.
