Week 15 and Week 128

William is 15 weeks old and Emily is 128.  William went for his first swim on Monday.  He was pretty indifferent to it, he didn't cry or make any faces, but no smiles either.  Just took it like the laid back guy he is!  Emily had an absolute blast swimming, jumping, and putting her face in the water.  She is going to LOVE having a pool for vacation!  I'm just afraid she's gonna try to jump in when no one is there to catch her.  She has no fear when it comes to the water.

William is starting to find his feet which is really cool.  He loves to hold on to his snuggie bears and dogs and likes to play with toys.  Emily loves finding toys for him to play with.  She is doing a great job as a big sister. 

We had a busy weekend celebrating both Grandma's birthdays.  We also got to meet Curious George!  Emily wasn't too thrilled with the bigger than daddy monkey, but was willing to walk up to him as long as I was holding onto her and she was holding on to me with quite a grip.  There were a bunch of activities for the kids to do also, and she had a ball making her own monkey, coloring, and listening to Georgie stories.  She even got a monkey tattoo! 

Here are some pics of our fun this week!

All ready for his first swim!

Fun on the steps!

This is how I find William most mornings.  Sucking his thumb with his other hand on his face.

First time in a bikini this year.  She kept trying to pull it down to cover her belly!

Check it out!  Big girl underwear for a shopping trip.  She made it all day keeping it dry!  We found every bathroom in every store, but she made it!!

Poor William.  Emily thought she'd give feeding a try...

Week 14 and Week 127!

William is 14 weeks old and Emily is 127 weeks old!  We had a pretty low key week since Emily had a little cold early in the week.  I don't really think there is much exciting news to report, so here are some pics of our fun...

Drooly smile...yes Will is the king of drool lately!!!

Enough with the pictures Mom!

Swimming fun!

Hanging out with his buddy Miles.  He's catching up in size and Will is only 3 months younger!!!

William is 13 weeks old and Emily is 126 weeks old!

William is 13 weeks old and turned 3 months old on Friday!  What a big boy and my does time fly!!  Emily is 2 years, 5 months now also.  It is pretty convenient that they are both on the 22nd.  Makes it nice and easy to keep track!  William is really starting to play with his toys and is grabbing onto everything, even his sister's hair!  Let the sibling rivalry begin!!!  So far they still love each other.  William totally lights up and smiles whenever Emily plays with him and she gets so excited to see him react to her.  It really is neat to watch.  William rolled over again on Monday, so that makes twice.  He lays on his side all the time and sleeps that way a lot too, but doesn't make it all the way over.  I'm sure it's coming as he is getting stronger everyday.   We had quite a heat wave this week, so we spent a lot of time inside and swimming when we could.  Emily even got to go to the lake with Grammie and her friends on Friday.  I stayed home with Will because it was just too hot for him to be out.  We went to the quarry again on Sunday and Emily had lots of fun swimming and playing with everyone!  It's definitely feeling like summer!!

Here are some pics of our week...

I started out on the Play Mat...

And this is how you clean up after a fun day at the quarry!

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...
