Tall Kate

I know Kate is almost 2 1/2 months, but I finally took her in for her 2 month check up and yep, she's a tall drink of water. She's even taller than Paul was at 2 months. Here are the stats:

Weight: 13 lbs 5oz (97th percentile)
Height: 24 1/2 inches (above 97th percentile)



Poor Kate was not happy about the vaccines. When she was awake she was crying, but luckily she slept far more than she was awake. I put her down for a nap at 5:30pm and she slept until 4:30am! Too bad Paul still woke me up at 1am and 4am. He usually sleeps better than that.

Summer Time

"Yea Summer" as Paul would say

Between visiting family and spend as much time outdoors as possible, we've sure been enjoying summer.

We had a great time having lots of family around for our summer vacation. Paul especially loved all of the attention from his cousins, aunts and uncles, and grandparents. I wish I had more pictures! Maybe we'll just have to visit more often.



Paul came home with a special treat - the love of water! Since our trip we've tried to spend more time at the lake, in the pool or at least enjoying some of the splash pads near the parks in our area.









Kate is so good to just come along for the ride! I'm sure glad she likes carriers because I don't how else I'd keep up with Paul.





While we were home with family we got to have Kate's Baby Blessing. What a great day.









Since we've been home Kate hasn't taken a break from growing up. I can't believe how big she is already getting.




She finally graduated from a port-a-crib into a big girl crib. I was going to take back Paul's crib and move him to a bed, but I gave up before trying when I found this crib on Craig's List for a great deal. I can't believe we are a two crib family, but my back is already thanking me for it.





Here's a little clip of Paul playing baseball. When my aim is on, his batting average gets up in the .500 range. He loves it.
