Nudey

I just can't resist snapping some pics of my sweet babies fresh from a bath. Here is Emery enjoying her birthday suit for a few minutes and looking adorable.

Hot Summer Day

This day was in the high 80s and we spent most of it outside. Emery snoozed in her Pack 'n Play while the boys played in the pool. Later, Emery posed in her swimsuit for some adorable pictures.

Emery at 3 months

My sweet little girl is now 3 months old. She is growing like crazy and such a great addition to our family. Emery has been sleeping through the night since about 7 weeks old. I feel like we just cruised through the exhausted newborn stage. She truly has made our adjustment from 2 to 3 quite easy. Emery has also been rolling both directions since about 11 weeks. It seems I barely put her down and she rolls directly to her tummy and smiles. She also loves to spend her time batting at her toys hanging from her play mat as she "talks" to them. She is just so precious!

I couldn't help but snap the pictures of Emery with her fingers in her mouth. She often soothes herself to sleep this way. Sometimes she is on her play mat and I notice she is quiet only to find her sleeping peacefully while sucking her fingers. I have to admit that she gets this one from me. I used to suck the exact same fingers as a baby.

4th of July

The Meaghers spent the day with us to celebrate the 4th and Rylan's birthday. It was a fun-filled day full of smiles and fireworks.

The quadruplets.

You have to have lightsabers to battle the smoke bombs.

What? They are all sitting!?

Cutie pie.


Time to open gifts for the family birthday.

Emery checking out her first fireworks.

The grand finale.

Rylan is 3!

I can't believe that Rylan is 3! He celebrated with another "Georgie" party (Curious George) and invited four of his friends along with their families. I am so glad we kept the number low as the weather was bad and we were inside with 12 kids! Nevertheless, Rylan had a great time and enjoyed all his company.

Rylan's new "Wall-E" beach towel.

I got my flag in there for my Independence Day baby, but added George to it. :)

"Mmmmm! This cake is yummy!"

Rylan's 3 year old Stats

Quick update

Emery had her two month checkup. She is a happy, healthy, growing baby girl. She now weighs 11 lbs. 2.5 ounces and is 23 1/4" long. She is so little compared to the boys!

Brennen also had his 6 year-old checkup. He is a happy, healthy, well-adjusted 6 year old. He is now 46" tall and 46 pounds. His asthma and allergies are great, his vision is great, and his hearing is really good, except for a little off in his left ear. Something that should resolve itself, but we will watch it just in case. Brennen is tuned-up and ready for the first grade in the fall. Yikes!
