A Couple of Firsts . . .

Well, this was a big week for Danny. He had his first shots and boy, was he mad about it! The look on his face just about broke my heart.



And he also had his first bottle today. He didn't even wait for mommy to leave the room before guzzling it down!

Super Chunk!

This weekend we went to a BBQ. The host and hostess have a son 3 days older than Danny (and an older son 1 month younger than Cameron). Well, when we walked through the door, they asked us if we were raising a linebacker! I knew Danny was getting big but I didn't realize HOW big. At 7 1/2 weeks, we think he weighs about 13 lbs (our scale at home isn't very reliable). Can you tell who is who? The picture of Danny was taken last week and the picture of Cameron was taken when he was 5 months old and weighed 14 lbs!

Cameron got his first big boy bike today and we were racing to keep up with him!




And we FINALLY got to enjoy the beach!

This Playtime is Too Much Work!

Sleep Deprivation

So, we are living in a hell of sleep deprivation and potty training. What a way to spend Dennis' summer vacation! Hopefully, life will settle down for us in the next couple of weeks and we can enjoy the opportunity to explore the Northeast. Honestly though, I feel like I've been saying "hopefully life will settle down for us soon" for the past 5 years!!

At any rate, here's some pics of the boys. Danny is growing like a weed. I can't get over how big he is and how fast time seems to fly. He's 6 weeks old already!



Tummy time!


Cameron found a slug in the yard the other day and was very excited to introduce it to his baby brother. In case if you are wondering, slug slime is VERY difficult to wash off!


We enjoyed a visit from Mama, Papa, Aunt Jenni and Cousin Olivia recently. We had a lovely visit and I wish that I had more pictures of all of the adventures that they took! Just to name a few of the hightlights, Cameron and his Cousin Olivia visited the beach, the Children's Museum, and the circus while they were here!

Stickers

So, Cameron got some stickers in the mail from Grammy the other day - check out what he decided to decorate . . .



In addition to being picked on by his older brother, Danny has also been introduced to the wonderful world of NASCAR . . .

Danny's First Two Weeks

Well, we are adjusting to being a family of four. Danny is doing great - he eats, sleeps, and dirties his diapers just like a newborn should. At his two week appointment, we discovered that he already gained a pound, making him bigger now than Cameron was at 6 weeks. Cameron is a great helper and, although he has his moments, he seems to be doing well. He's only asked me once when Danny is going back into my belly! And Dennis and I are surviving the sleep deprivation. So, all is well!

I also wanted to share Cameron's humorous tidbit for the week: The other day, while we were sitting down for lunch, Cameron looked at me and said, "Here's the deal. First, we're going to have lunch. Then, we're going to have nap time. Then, we're going to have a snack. And then, a special surprise!" I'm not sure what surprise Cameron had in mind, but I think I know who is in charge around here!
