Pink toenails and earings!

Such a cute girl! We love her so much, and I am totally loving the girl thing. I feel like I get to play dolls every day. She was such a trooper getting those tiny ears pierced.

How do you know it's summer time?

the white bum! I think it's so cute. I really do put sunscreen on him, we just spend a lot of time at the pool and the lake.

This little love bug loves her bath time. She smiles and coos, and then screams when you take her out. She's getting so cute!

We had our first little camping trip up at my Aunt's farm. We went to a little rodeo which Harrison loved, but I left my camera in the car so no pictures. Camping with a baby is interesting to say the least. Avery and I slept in our Expedition on an air mattress and Harrison and Nick roughed it in a tent.
Obviously it wasn't too rough of a night because Avery still had her bow in her hair the next morning.
Harrison LOVED sleeping in a tent, and he was so so so happy to be free to get dirty and gross. I think he'd be happiest in a dirt pile with a bag of Starburst.
Nick asked Harrison in the morning, "buddy, were you cold or warm last night?" Harrison answered, "I was warm, warm and toasty."
We did our annual Lagoon trip with Nick's family and Harrison had so much fun! He loves the little kiddie rides, and is almost tall enough for a few of the bigger rides.


This was our kiddie ride crew! So cute!
This is what a day at Lagoon will do to you!

We finally caught a smile on camera!

This summer has turned out to have a lot more action than I thought it would. Little Avery has been more places in her first 8 weeks than Harrison in his first 8 months. We've spent many days at the lake, or "beach" if you ask Harrison, having tons of fun.
I know you may not be interested in these little tidbits, but this has become kind of my journal, and I don't want to forget this stuff. We've been potty training Harrison and it's been going ok i guess. The #2 is proving to be a little harder to get into the toilet. I have a friend who told me that she would shower her kids in freezing cold water when they pooped their pants and they hated it, but it helped them remember to go in the potty. I had just had Harrison on the toilet to go potty and he repeatedly told me he didn't have to "poop or toot". He then crawled under Avery's crib and did #2 in his pants. I was so ticked so I put him in the tub and turned on the cold water and dumped a big cupful on him. Rather than cry or scream he just looked at me and said, "oh mommy, that water is nice and cold!" What a STINKER!
Poor little GI Jane baby. I had to shave her head because it was totally uneven and I had accidentally created some little knots in there while rubbing in sunscreen. I had to cut the knots out and so I decided to just shave the whole thing. She didn't have that much to begin with, but it's still kind of sad. She had her two month appointment and weighed in at 10 lbs 2 oz 37%. She's my chunky girl. 21 inches long. She has also had some reflux, hence all the crying. We got some medicine for that and it has totally changed my life. She actually will be awake, with no binki, and not crying. HALLELUJAH. I love my little girl and it was so hard to see her crying all the time. Now she smiles at me once in a while, I will post a picture of it if I can catch one!
