Warning! Warning! Warning!

I meant to upload a video of Ava eating her first solids, but I choose the wrong video.

I don't think you'll enjoy this one.

The sweetest thing

This morning the kids were hanging out on the bed while I got ready to go to the Y. Carter was watching Sesame Street (he loves him some Elmo!) so I felt pretty confident in leaving the two of them while I went to get him some clothes. When I came back Carter had scooted over to A and was stroking her arm and kissing her gently on the cheek. It was the sweetest thing I think I've ever seen! Of course by the time I got the camera he was done, I tried to re-enact the scene but it ended up with this:

It looks like he's trying to smother her instead, but it really was very sweet.

I love my babies!

I never want to forget

I never want to forget Avery's hair after a bath. Sweet, fluffy and wild.

Meme gets an F

Carter and Mommy went swimming today. And this is what Carter came home with. His very first sunburn. And Meme put on his sunscreen. So therefore Meme gets an F.



It was definetely a sunscreen fail .

That's ok, Meme we still love you.

This

Now I know what has been causing this:







and this:

and this:

It's This! Sorry the picture is kind of blurry, but it's Carter's second year molar. And here I thought he was just turning into a clingy, whiny little boy.

Enjoying the great outdoors

Tonight after dinner, Mike and Carter went outside, per our usual routine. When I went to check on the boys this is what I found:

Yes this is my adorable boy, and yes this is my adorable boy covered in chalk. Egged on by his father, who told him to "make sure you get your forehead."

They also spent some time hanging in a tree.

And here's a picture of A. Her dress is on backwards. And yes, its been on backwards ALL DAY.

What a great evening! During the summer the Cincinnati museum center has free friday's once a month. We met Mike at the museum and had a blast! Carter hasn't been to the museum in over a year. Here's some pictures from our evening out:

Carter is playing with the water table. He loved sticking his hand into the water fountain.

Carter loved driving the dump truck. He's totally into "dirt" these days.

Look at that smile on my boy's face! I swear he ran around with this same smile for about four hours. And the ball area, well let's just say it was his absolute favorite.

And A was there too. She loved her some tummy time in the infant area.

All in all a great evening as you can see. We'll have to do it again in August for the next free friday.
