Summer Fun

The hot temperatures have arrived and we are cooling off with as many water activities as possible. Susanna loves to put on her bathing suit and run around in the sprinkler and play with the water table.



Look how cute!!


Our pool has just opened and we plan to spend many afternoons there too. Susanna is already impressing us with her water skills (blowing bubbles, jumping into the pool from the side and even from the diving board, going all the way under the water with open eyes and holding her breath, floating on her back, swimming independently with her floatie). Noah is a water baby too! Susanna taught him to splash and ever since it is his favorite thing to do. Good teacher, fast learner! Pool pics to come soon!


We have taken two beach trips so far this year and are looking forward to many more. Susanna REALLY loves the beach including the sand and ocean. She has come a long way since last summer when she REFUSED to even touch the sand with her toes. Now she is happily digging and burying her own legs in the sand. She especially loves to play paddle ball with GiGi and Grandaddy!!






Noah is a great beach baby too. He just chills and listens to the beach sounds and watches his sister for entertainment. And check out how smoooooth he looks in his shades...

Twins

Lately Susanna wants to do everything Noah does. Before long this will reverse and Noah will be trying to copy everything his sister does. He already watches her every move, Susanna better watch out!!

Stunting with Daddy



Watching TV

Love

Susanna and Noah are having LOTS of fun as sister and brother.


She loves to read to him, play with him, and give him toys to play with.



She is a great helper and if he is fussing likes to go "check" on him by yelling "WHATS WRONG BABY NOAH!". It really is funny and surprisingly calms him most of the time. She likes to tiptoe into his room during nap time and we have to remind her to whisper or else she will scream "WAKE UP BABY NOAH!" Luckily both their afternoon naps tend to be at the same time so he gets to sleep in peace most days :)

It is really fun watching these two bond as brother and sister, we are such proud parents!!

Noah's 4 months old

Noah is now 18 weeks old and had his 4 month appointment on Monday . He weighed in at 16 pounds, 8.5 ounces and 25 inches long. He is a growing, super happy and healthy little boy!! Our next adventure is starting cereal!

So far he has had rice cereal (didn't like it at all) and is now trying oatmeal cereal and he LOVES IT!! He is still learning how to swallow and is soooooooo messy but we are having a lot of fun practicing!

He is now big enough to start enjoying the fun baby toys!





Play hard, sleep hard!!



In the last month he has started drooling and shoving both hands and anything he can reach into his mouth. I can see a tooth coming in but apparently am the only one!! Miguel and even the doctor were unable to see that he was teething. I bet that tooth is going to be here within the next 3 weeks, just wait and see!!!

Noah is a REALLY happy and smiley boy. He LOVES attention and if you make eye contact he will flash you a gummy grin! Check out our handsome little man...

ABC Song

Since her birthday Susanna has been singing everything!! She loves Itsy Bitsy Spider, Patty Cake, and ABC's. And she is really doing great with her ABC's, we are soo proud!
