Last huraah, summer vacation

A last bit of fun, our summer vacation in Port A on the beach. Andrew put together a video for our pictures. He did a good job!

And up they grow!

Now I hope that by posting this I don't jinx myself.

Becky........

Becky is a very very good baby. She is smiley, happy, and content. She sleeps through the night, and sooths herself pretty well most of the time. She loves to stare at faces. When you are holding her, she will just stare at you with a semi serious face, then when you look at her she will give you a blinding smile, so bright you really can't help but smile. Then as you look away she will go back to her serious face and just wait for you to look at her again. She is starting to coo now and makes the cutest noises. She love little kids about her size. I sat by a 7 month old in church today and they were so cute talking and cooing together. I'm afraid I only heard part of our very good lesson. About 4 days ago she started laughing for the first time. Wow, and I fell in love all over again.

her serious face ( I had to get a picture she is usually so smiley )

Just a waitin to smile

Brev......

Brev is getting better about not having so much attention from me. He is ALMOST potty trained.( that has been and ordeal and a half ) and is very affectionate, mostly happy, and LOVES to bug people. That though is nothing unusual. He has been on a bugging people (especially me ) kick for a while now. He really like to give me kisses, and more kisses and more kisses, until it makes me claustrophobic, but then he loves to do it even more because by then he is buggin me again. He is very much a boy!

Brev is still underweight. Last time we took him into the doctor, they had me put him on pediasure twice a day, and recommended foods for him to eat. They even had his blood tested to see if something was wrong. He's fine, but little. He was 20 lbs when I took him in, he is now 25 thanks to the very expensive pediasure, and diet. However he has grown 4 1/2 inches in the last year.

Doesn't he look older?

Kyla,

Kyla is getting ready for school and is very excited! She is always packing and repacking her backpack. She is also growing up quite fast, and is a very good big sister. She is very cute when she know she is helping. She will do something helpful, then smile at me like Aren't i a great helper? and she is. We love the stories she tells us and her imagination is getting very good. She read her first book and is starting to love reading.

We love all our kids and are having fun watching them grow!
