Sara and Mike: William is 12 Weeks old and his sister is 125!!!

William is 12 weeks old. I can't believe he is almost 3 months old already. Where has the time gone? He had a lot of fun playing with his toys this week. He likes to pick them up and mostly eat them, but it's something new to do! I put his toes into Emily's pool water and he hated it, oh well we can try again soon. It probably is a bit cold for him even in this heat. He started really sucking his thumb this week also. He can get it in there after a bit of trying and then just goes to town. He even spit out his paci to get the thumb in. He still hasn't done either too often, but the sucking sound is awesome in the morning when he puts himself back to sleep for a little while longer! He's been sleeping past 7 this week and most days sleeping later than his sister, yahoo!! We chose the perfect day on Thursday to head to the beach and we all had a blast. William slept most of the time, but that's nothing new!!

Emily is 125 weeks old. She's still going strong with the potty, not much new to report except that she loves going to the outhouse at the quarry! If we have to build an outhouse to get her potty trained perhaps it is worth it! She has started pronouncing her L's as y's so words like little, sound like yittle. She used to say L's but not anymore it's kinda funny. She recognizes most of the letters and numbers from 1-9 and can count things pretty well too. It's definitely more than just the memorization of the numbers, she will actually point and count to things. She is growing and learning so much, it's crazy!! What happened to my little baby girl??? She seems more confident with herself especially in new places, which is great to see! Emily had a great time at the beach jumping in the waves and walking with Nana to collect shells and buckets of sand! She also loves sidewalk chalk and had her first ice cream cone at the quarry on Sunday. It was National Ice Cream Day, so it was the perfect occasion for that first!

Here are some pics of our fun this week...
