This Past Month....

This past month has flown by! We have been keeping busy and having alot of fun!
About three to four times a week, we are here...at the pool. Hailee has become pro swimming with her floaties on. We are going to let her enjoy them this summer and then next summer we will get her into swim lessons. Hailee went to the cutest "Toy Story" party for her friend Alex. They rented ponies for the kids to ride on. I thought Hailee would be afraid to ride it, but she proved me wrong! That was all she wanted to do! She was able to ride the pony 3 times around the block before we had to leave!
She loved riding next to her buddy Deacon
She was very serious while riding
Jake enjoys the stroller while we are playing outside

Hailee loves to take her baby dolls on walks! As soon as it cools off, we are outside for the rest of the night playing!

Gregg set up the jumper for Jake. He was so excited for it, that once he got into it, he fell asleep! haha. Really, this picture is of him after he had been playing for a while.
Hailee taught Jake how the jumper works and was explaining to him what each thing was. She is such an amazing big sister!

I honestly won't be surprised if Hailee ends up loving gymnastics or cheer. Gregg always has her way above the water and then she jumps in. The other day (I wish my camera battery didn't die) Gregg had Hailee standing only on his hands and had his arms straight up in the air! She was so high! Then she jumped off into the water! He also has her standing on his shoulders and she tucks herself over his head and does a somersault into the water! She is so brave! Definitely takes after her Daddy for loving water like that!
The other morning it was too hot to play outside and Daddy was still sleeping, so I told Hailee I would set up a "back drop" for her to take pictures of her baby. She had so much fun! I was excited I was able to get a couple pictures of the kids too!
She loves her babies so much!
Jake turned 3 months old! I can't believe it! He is getting so big! He wears 3-6 month clothing, coos and caws a ton, rolls up onto his sides, loves to stand when holding your hands, almost laughing (He is trying sooo hard!) He sleeps an average of 8 hours straight during the night. He loves to be held and to be outside. He is such a happy baby and we love having him here!
I took the kids up to the park the other night and Jake went for his first swing ride! At first he was unsure about it, but then he decided to just like it!
Hailee enjoyed pushing him too!

I seriously LOVE this smile so much! She is such a fun girl!

After bath time. He is going to be just like Hailee....loves the water so much already!

My sister in law Sarah took these pictures for me for Jake's 3 months! I can't believe how big he looks! Such a little boy already!
Hailee is finally starting to let us take pictures of her again. For a few months she was anti picture taking, but slowly, she is getting better at looking at the camera again! Yeah!



That's all for now. August is another busy month, so I'll most likely be doing one long post for it too!
