trying the exersaucer

another new toy from storage. Andy seems to really like the exersaucer. he smiles at the toys and reaches out for them. he really wants to try to eat them.

We moved!

We moved and got all of our stuff out of storage! Andy got to try out the jumper for the first time. It is hard to believe that we are finally in our new home. The settlement date was pushed back so many times, we thought it might never come!

mud

Nolan and Bryce have been finding a lot of mud puddles at Grandmom's house. Nolan dove right into this one, but Bryce was much more hesitant. It took a lot of convincing to get him to even walk through the mud. Andy watched on happily!

the plank

Andy can do the plank and he moves backwards! He gets up and slips back and then does the whole thing over again. He gets a little frustrated when he can't get the things in front of him that he wants. But, he does still seem happy to be moving!

look at him!

Wow, Andy can pick up his feet and head so high. He reaches so far and seems to scoot around and roll around everywhere. He doesn't crawl yet, but is must be close!

dutch wonderland

After Thomas, we went to Dutch Wonderland. It is the perfect amusement park for little kids. Nolan and Bryce loved the rides because they were just the right size for them. There were no lines and they rode each ride a couple times. Their favorite was the "whip"! Nolan was also tall enough to ride the bumper cars which he loved. I took Nolan and Bryce on the old fashioned car ride and it brought back memories of riding the same ride with my dad!

Thomas the Train

It was a hot hot day, but still so much fun! Bryce was enamored with Thomas. He smiled ear to ear the whole time. He still loves all things with wheels, so this was a perfect outing for him. We rode the train through a beautiful farmland setting and then did a few other train activities. We also got to ride a school bus to get to Thomas because the parking lots were flooded.

brotherly love

I don't think I will ever tire of seeing the love my three boys have for each other!

Andy is 4 months old

We are having so much fun celebrating every month birthday. Nolan and Bryce love singing "happy birthday" and Andy loves watching them. At four months, Andy is very strong. He pushes himself up when he is on his tummy, he rolls over, he makes funny noises in the back of his throat, he laughs at his brothers, he screams in the car, and loves to be held!

Andy got baptized

Andy got baptized! It was very hard to pin down the right date for the baptism because our new house completion kept getting pushed back. But we finally picked a date even though we hadn't moved into our new house yet. Andy wore a different outfit than Nolan and Bryce because their outfit was packed away. He looked adorable in the hat! He fell asleep for part of the service and was calm with Pastor Dwyer

spider men

Nolan and Bryce both got spiderman face paint at the Doylestown festival we went to! They were so excited. Super heroes is a new love for them and is quickly taking over in our house!

focus

Andy looks so intently at things he sees on the floor. Tiny things like a hair or small piece of dirt. He seems to stare on take everything in! He also has a great smile and is mostly a content baby!

Bryce...

Bryce still loves trucks, and all things with wheels. he really takes his time pushing them, watching the wheels, checking out all the features, and moving all the parts. He focuses on trucks for a long time. He also prefers to have a truck for both hands!

a rock star!

Nolan puts on music shows for us and loves to pretend to be a rock star! He mostly sings sunday school songs, but puts an edge to them with his moves! he takes is very seriously and it is a joy to watch

Nolan's first day of preschool

Here he is! His first day in his new school. He was not nervous, but excited! What a wonderful feeling to know that he has grown and become comfortable with trying new things on his own! I did not get to take him for his first day alone, because it was a Tuesday, but Daddy said he did great!
