Family bike ride

And we're off...two kiddos and bikes and it feels great!  It took a little creative assembly to fit Finn's car seat in the trailer but the task was well worth it as he slept through the entire ride.

 

Elise's 1st visit to the dentist

Elise had her first visit with the dentist today and although her highlight was the visit to the toy chest and a sticker, she was such a good girl, even allowed them to polish two of her chicklet teeth!

 

My how much those teeth have grown since this picture, 14 months ago:)

Six months old

 

Finnegan Michael ~ Six months, half a year... I cannot believe you are such a big boy already.  You are so so so happy, laid back, gentle, observant and just the sweetest boy I have even known.  You have conquered sitting at 5.5 months, started rolling tummy to back at 4.5 months and back to tummy at 5 months.  You have yet to get any teeth but that does not seem to slow you down in the eating department.  You started eating rice cereal at 5.5 months and love it.  You love to laugh at your sister and she loves to make you laugh just the same.  We love watching both of you start to play together and entertain each other.  Two weeks ago you moved out of mommy and daddy's room and are  big boy in your own room and crib.  The first night there you slept for 7 hours without waking, but that was just a one and only occurrence so far and since you have gone back to your 3 hour (4 if we're lucky) schedule.  You LOVE to snuggle.  Finnegan, you are the sweetest 6 month old boy and we are so so in love with every chubby ounce of you.

Allison & Lincoln visit

This beautiful and special momma came to visit us yesterday with baby Lincoln.  She braved the solo drive over the pass with this precious babe and we had a lovely visit. 

 

What you can't tell just by looking at the photo is that she is an absolute natural of a mother, is extra talented at communicating and dealing with 2 year olds, is so wise, so kind and generous and an absolute gem of a friend and person.  I am so lucky to have her in my life.

 

 

Our 3 peanuts!

 

 

Elise had fun dressing up little Lincoln as a butterfly:)
