July 2011

Look as cute as you can!  What?  That's the look I get?

First taste of ice cream with Aunt Chris.  Superman flavor.
He wasn't thrilled with the coldness of it.  

Finished up dance class.  

First year for letting her eat ice cream in cones.  Only on bath nights.  

It was a blazingly hot July.  We used the sprinkler in the back yard on days
we felt adventurous enough to go outside in the heat.  

"It's COLD!"

Durham loves jumping.  He can really get some air now.  

Ainsley likes to pick on play with her brother!  

Lots of drooling.  Hoping for teeth soon.

She likes to sit in her brother's swing.  

He likes it too!  

Ready to eat supper!  

Our failed attempt at camping in the back yard.  

She loves to dress up.  Every day.  

Another day with the sprinkler.  

We lost her favorite buddy, Nixon, for a few days.
Luckily, Great Grandma bought her a new buddy.  

He loves sleeping on his stomach now.
Lay him on his back and he immediately rolls to his stomach.  

No sign of colic anymore!!  

He loves to stick his tongue out and pull on his ears and feet.  

Out little stinker.
