Lydia's First Day of School - late posting

Sunday, September 21, 2014

Lydia started school on September 2nd as a Green Gator (Pre-Pre K).  This year there are 15 kids and 2 teachers each day.  She goes 5 days a week and takes Gymnastics after school on Mondays and ballet after school on Thursdays.  She loves going to school and going every day!  So does this Mama!
This year, Kiernan, started as a Teddy Bear on TTh and Charlotte is in Lydia's Green Gator class!  So exciting for everyone!





Sitting up...sort of

William sort of sat up by himself today. I wasn't going to count it, but he took such cute pictures that I had to post. 



William is 5 months

Wow how time flies...but the days are super long. William has been doing great! He now eats 6-7 ounces every 4 hours and 8 ounces before bed. So that's 4x a day he eats. He sleeps from 8:30 - 8:00 on average. Sometimes we don't get him down until 9 and sometimes he wakes up at 7 or 8:30. 
He loves it when Lydia plays ice cream shop with him, which is just when she disappears behind a chair and pops out with pretend ice cream for him. He laughs uncontrollably.
He has a big smile and has kept the dark blue eyes so far.
Everyone says he looks just like his daddy, but Blair's family says he looks like my side, so who knows.
He's trying to sit up on his own but hasn't yet. William rolled over from front to back the other day but I haven't seen him do it since and he rolls from side to side when he's on his back. He also just started touching and grabbing his feet...more flexibility.
He does like rice cereal and ate it from a spoon very quickly. 
Last time we went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago he weighed 14.5 lbs.

We love him!!

Labor Day Weekend

Wednesday, September 3, 2014

Last minute we decided to go to the Astros game (literally at the last minute after a trip to the Natural Science Museum was a bust).
Lydia and William (who slept through the entire thing) went to their first game. 
Lydia had a great time and loved clapping and yelling for the Astros. But I really think her favorite was getting a helmet full of ice cream. 

I love this picture...





We started off the day at the Museum of Natural Sciences but the line to buy tickets was at least an hour long. But Lydia did get to ride the dinosaur in the lobby.



Our Annual "encysive" Trip

This year we went back to Galveston for our annual trip with these guys. It was a very relaxing weekend and only our second time away from both kids. 

Of course we had to stop at the new Buc-ee's on the way down there. 

Great times with these guys as always

At dinner that night...



William realizes his good looks

I'm just hanging out playing...whoa, who's that good looking boy?...wait it's me and man I'm really handsome!
