Wow...where does the time go?

I cannot believe summer is already more than half way over. I have to say this summer has been great and we have been able to take the kids to do a lot of fun things. Between going to Texas and playing at home in the water, its been really good. Rylee absolutely loves playing in water. Our back yard is really big and all grassy, so we put out the slip-n-slide and a little pool and it entertains her all day long. I love sitting out in the lounge chair, Dax in his exersaucer, and Rylee playing in the water. Its so nice and relaxing! We have also spent a lot of days playing at the splash park with my friend Melissa and her son Jayden and little girl Myah. Rylee and Jayden get along really well and have lots of fun together. They also came to play at the house, which Rylee loved. Brett also took Rylee and Savanah to the new waterpark Cowabunga and Rylee went down all the waterslides she was tall enough for and the others she went on Brett's lap. She is one brave little girl. And Dax had his first experience in a little pool...it was cold and he wasn't so sure about it.







Aren't these two so cute together? Melissa and I decided they could be girlfriend and boyfriend, lol.


Also, my sweet little guy is already 4 MONTHS old as of yesterday! Its amazing how much they change, even from 3 to 4 months old. Here are some things he likes and does at 4 months....
* He laughs and smiles so much.
* He still loves his swing.
* He loves his exersaucer....and its so amazing watching him in it. The first day we put him in it he was 3 1/2 months and he just looked at everything. The very next day he was grabbing at all the toys and just loving it.
* He started sleeping in his own crib at 3 1/2 months. Each morning I go to get him up, he is turned the opposite way, its the funniest thing.
* He goes to bed on his own. (I just lay him down awake and he goes to sleep)
* He still wakes one time a night. (usually around 4am)
* He is still very content and laid back.
* He loves sucking on his hands, and I mean his whole hands.
* He loves grabbing his toes, all the time. (It's the cutest thing ever)
* He loves having his diaper changed and gets so excited when I start taking off his clothes and diaper that he kicks and swings his arms with a big smile on his face.
* He loves bath time and is now in his sit up chair.
* He has started wearing 3-6 month clothes, but also still wears some 0-3 month clothes and onesies.
* He is in size 1 diapers and I think he weighs about 13 something....I will know for sure on the 20th at his check-up.
* He can sit when leaning on his hands for support. (I haven't officially recorded it in his book yet since he still tips when he leans and does have to use his hands for support.)

Happy 4 month birthday sweet baby, we love you....







I also took some updated pics of the kids...
