Fun, Fun, and more Fun!

We have had lots of fun this week going to the park, OMSI, more parks, and playing in the water! We are loving the dry, warm weather. McKenna has also loved helping with our garden which is finally in and growing! One of the books that we checked out at the library was Growing Vegetable Soup and she loves reading it and says we are going to make vegetable soup with our vegetables we are growing. Every week she gets favorite books and you have to read the same ones over and over and over! Mom and Dad are glad by the time she moves on to new favorites! She has started doing the hokie pokie and lots of other songs that we sing at the library and in the car, she is too cute! She has also started saying grace at dinner and it is too funny. Sometimes she starts with saying thank you for the food and then goes on and on about everything she is thankful for. She makes us make Carter put his hands together and say Amen at the end. She is too funny!


One of her favorite new sayings this week is "No Way" It was cute at first, but when she started saying it with attitue when you ask her to do something we had to have a talk :) Everyday is something new and so much fun with both of them. Carter has started chewing on his hands and loves to suck on his first two or three fingers. He won't take a pacifier, but just his fingers! I'm hoping for the pacifier rather than fingers as they are easier to take away, but we'll see. He's staying awake for longer periods of time and cooing and talking a lot, which McKenna thinks is funny and laughs when he talks. She is such a great big sister, getting things I need when I'm nursing and talking and playing with him when he gets upset. She also likes to tell me "pew-wee brother's stinky, change him."

I could go on and on! It is so awesome to be home with them and see and experience all of their new firsts and excitement in everyday life. Here are a few pictures from this week.
