D at the Beach

Dylan and I had a great morning at Lincoln Park. An old friend was in town with her kids so we headed to the park, found some shade, and had a great visit ~ well as good of a visit as you can with three kids. Nice to see you again Denise!

Pool Party

With the heat wave we're having in Seattle we decided to get a pool! Yes we are the proud owners of a pool. We can now say 'I'm sitting poolside'. Growing up I remember loving my little backyard pool, I'd spend hours in it. We're not quite to that point yet as Dylan spent all of 5 minutes in hers and I think that was pushing it. The water was a little cold but Maggie sure is loving it! And really the pool was second to the cute little bathing suit - come on look at that thing and those chunky thighs - too cute!

Is it wonder woman? Is it Miss America? No it's super cute D in her tini little star'd swimsuit.

Splashing is fun.

Oh boy ~ toys.

As D sat down in the pool she let out a big sigh ~ I think the water was a little cold.

Maggie joining in on the fun!

Dad & Lil D

Pappa Matt has been healing up great since our crazy Philly adventure.  Although he's still having to take things slow he seems to be getting better everyday.  It's been great having him around more and he and d have been having some fun adventures.  Every morning they've been watching the Tour de France, playing in the garden, reading stories, working on rolling over, and laughing.  It warms my heart watching them together.  Matt's a great dad and D just lights up when he walks into the room with the biggest smile.

4 Month Check Up

Well it's been 4 months already - can't believe it. We've been warned by many that the time goes by fast and I have to say they are right! Dylan got her 4 month check up the other day. She's doing great, learning tons, and right on track. She's weighing in at 16lbs 7.5 oz (95% percentile), her height is 25.5" (90% percentile), and her head circumference is 42.2 cm (82% percentile). The doc gave the go ahead to start rice cereal - oh boy, here comes the fun. All went well until the shots came, then it wasn't such a happy moment for any of us. Matt's comment "I haven't heard that cry before", mine "I hate shot day", and D's "weeeeee, weeeeee, weeeee, all the way home".
