2 milestones

Today marked two milestones..."Jimmy" had a birthday and Henry is 2 months old! Happy birthday daddy! In the picture below Luke is helping dad blow out his candles after singing "Happy to you, Happy to you", his version of Happy Birthday! Henry's 2 month pictures will hopefully be posted this weekend!

5 in 3 years

Here are mom and dad at the beach this year with their 3 grand children. Next year however, they will have 2 more for a total of 5! I already told you about Rachael and Chris expecting a girl (Adaline Grace) in November. Well, Patrick and Natalie are expecting their first child in January! We are so excited! They will find out what they are having in September. This means that mom and dad will have 5 grandkids within 3 years! What fun!

Big Guy

I never expected my 7 week old to be wearing 6 month sized clothing! His shirt says it all...

My date with Luke

Luke and I had a date last week and we had a great time! We went to the Children's Museum downtown Greenville. I think I was more tired then he was by the time we returned home! Here are a bunch of pictures of his favorite things!

Driving a race car... couldn't reach the petals

driving the recycle truck

brushing teeth

working in the construction zone



riding a pig at the farm

working on the farm

making music was one of his favorite stops

what a real chalk board! didn't think my children would ever be introduced to one of these!

making a birthday cake

water play

grocery shopping...he didn't want to give up the grocery cart when we were done.

waiting his turn in line. I was surprised how patient he was.

Checking teddy bears ears in the "hospital"

New playground

Greenville County built a new playground really close to our house! We are so excited and the playground is so cool! Perfect for our boys!

1 month old!

Henry is already 1 month old! (He was over a week ago but I am just getting around to posting)
1 month checkup specs:
weight 12 lbs and 10 oz (95th percentile)
length 23 1/4 inches (98th percentile)

He has gained almost 3 pounds and 2 inches! Way to go Henry!
He has already rolled over from his back to his front (once). He is "cooing" and smiling at us and has really started focusing on objects! He is very strong and can hold his head up during tummy time and while he is being held! School starts back August 10th so I am trying to enjoy my last 2 weeks home with my boys! Can't believe how quickly this summer has gone!

Edisto Beach

We had a great time at Edisto with the whole family! Here are some of the many pictures that highlight our trip.
