Phone pics

Some pics from our phones over the past month or so:

Cole smiling with daddy

Sydney loving our Friday pizza nights

Sydney is a huge fan of Elmo so when we found out he was going to be at the mall right by our house, we headed up there.  She woke up from her nap with 15 minutes to spare!

Now she refers to the mall as "Elmo mall" or sometimes "Mall - Elmo, Mickey"

We visited daddy at work one afternoon.  Sydney quickly made herself at home.

Jotting down a few notes - ha!

Tummy time.  He's not a huge fan of this.

Found his thumb!

Hanging out

Big stretch!

Starting her chores early!!!

Love them!

A little smile from Cole

Which quickly turned into this.  And our photoshoot was over!

3 months!

Cole turned 3 months last week!  Crazy that he has only been with us for 12 weeks... definitely feels longer - in a good way :) 

I think he is trying to catch up to his big sister in weight.  He is tipping the scales at 16 lbs already!  Both kiddos are in size 3 diapers - crazy but makes shopping and packing the diaper bag easy!  

He is eating every 3-4 hours (longer stretches at night).  He's not the best napper.  Is great if we are out and about and on the move but doesn't like to nap for more than 30-45 minutes if we're at home.  Sydney was the same way and she eventually grew out of it so there's hope :)  

Prior to the past two nights, he had only been getting up once to eat (around 2 a.m.).  I'm thinking he is going through a growth spurt because he has been up every 1-2 hours these past two nights.  I'm hoping this ends soon! :)

He LOVES interacting with people and when someone talks/smiles at him.  if he's unhappy, he usually just needs some attention!

He hasn't rolled over yet but he is on the move!  We put him on a blanket on the floor the other day and within 5 minutes, he was completely off the blanket and 1/2 way across the carpet.  

Love this little guy.  Happy 3 months!

May 2013

How is it possible that May is already 1/2 way over?!?!  The countdown is officially on... we are moving in less than a month - eek!  Trying to enjoy our last few weeks here and checking off everything on our to do list. 

Attempt at a photo-shoot on mothers day

Me and my babies

Love them!  

And this little one has decided that she is big enough for a big girl swing!

"Higher Daddy!"

At almost 3 months old, he is ready for his play gym!  Doesn't last more than 10 minutes in it and big sister Sydney is always around to 'help'

She stood RIGHT in front of him when she realized I was taking pictures of him while he was playing.  Jealous much??!!??

Mommy went out with friends on Saturday night so daddy was in charge...  Judging by the pictures,  they had a great time!

Sweet boy. 

She LOVES organizing things!  She got into my wallet one morning and separated my credit cards and cash into two different piles. 

We weren't expecting to play at the beach this morning and her outfit got soaked so she walked around the beach park in her diaper.

Gonna miss this place!

Happy boy. 

We went to a fair at an elementary school near us this past weekend and Sydney wanted to ride these swings.  We weren't sure how she would do but she LOVED them... and went an additional two times.  

Blowing kisses to mommy and Cole

Beach Day Take II

Dave had an Aloha Friday (got home from work early) and it was GORGEOUS out so we headed over to Kailua Beach after the kids woke up. 

Cole slept the ENTIRE time and Sydney could have stayed there all night - she loved it.  It was a perfect afternoon and great way to end the week.  Now if all days could go like that... :) 

They played with sand toys forever!

While he hung out and slept 

Digging... 

And running... 

And getting sandy.

Daddy started burying Sydney's feet and she quickly realized she loved it. 

Cheese!

Thanks for coming home early, Daddy!!
