Floor time

This is how I find Pieper, sometimes it is nap time, sometimes it is the middle of the night. I have no idea how she gets like this, if it is the former I just let it go but in the night I pick her up and put her in bed with mixed results.
It reminds me of how I used to lay on the floor and put the book in the hallway for light... (ha, ha) but she has no book...?

Pieper @ 23 months

She loves to run.
She always helps... will run and get most anything you ask for.
She opens and can lock and unlock the door knobs.
She takes the rubber bands I have on the cupboards off and brings them to me... usually with something she isn't supposed to have in the other hand.
Light switches are very fun for her now that she used her potty to reach them all.
She will sit on the potty but not go...
She likes to put on her sun glasses.
Loves to go bye, bye.
Is very good at the animals on her blocks and can stack them(the blocks) very high and then yells 'timber' when they fall. In fact everything is timber when it falls!
Jeff has to give kissed to everyone in the house when he leaves for work, Pieper makes sure he gets it done.
She will get the milk or juice out of the refrigerator for you to fill her glass. If she has yogart she will even get the spoon. (which she is not supposed to do...)
Loves ice cubes. Even if they are in your glass not hers.
Loves to brush her teeth but doesn't like to have her hair rinsed.
Not the greatest at drinking out of a regular glass yet, gets her self all 'wet' after a the first couple of sips but is better at using her fork and spoon.
She is a very good big sister. Sometime she helps almost to much!
Loves to pick flowers and bring them inside, so far clovers are her favorite.
Likes to say 'sorry' and thinks that is all that it takes to get her out of trouble.
Constantly tries to charm her parents with smiles and hugs at just the right time... it works most days. :)

Peter @ 12 Weeks

He wakes up once a night, not starving or anything but will eat a little. He is a very spotty eater, one day he eats all the time... the next he just sleeps the day away, it is hard to keep up!
He smiles all the time.
He is very good at grabbing things.
He likes to suck on his armadillo's ear but will not keep a binki in...
He likes to bite (without teeth, thank goodness)
He loves to watch Pieper do anything and she is very good at talking to him and rubbing noses.
He is not in the same spot when he is on the floor, he scoots around... either backwards or sideways.
His eyes may be changing....
He has big hands.
He likes to stand up.
Still loves tummy time!
He is a good "snuggler" and love to give kisses, nice wet ones.

Posing

Cheese...
Yeah, I know I'm a cutie!
I want to be in the picture please!

Pieper's hair

I was trying to get a picture of how long her hair is... it is over half way down her back when she is looking straight ahead! (when wet) she has curl so it drys shorter.

Yeah, I'm cute like that!







Peter 12 week Pictures




His feet are not as big as they look in the picture and Pieper LOVEs to have her picture taken with Peter...

Oh my, I have a little person.

Me: Pieper, do we need to change your pants?
Pieper: no, no, I am fine.

Peter, 3 month doc appt

Went very well. Such a happy baby for the nurses and doctor.
Weight: 15 lbs 3 oz gained almost 2 lbs
Length 24.5" grew 2-1/2" inches

Head gained 2 cm so all in all he is growing great! Very strong, he made the doctor laugh when he was trying to scoot!
Only had one shot today....
Next month... well early August we get to see how taking both kids at the same time works! Peter's 4 month and Pieper's 2 year!

Father's Day

Tried to get Pieper's hair in ponytails but it is just a tad to short. She thought it was pretty fun, we played around while Daddy and Peter slept in... When you ask her to smile she gets a little cheesy...

After a fun filled Father's Day everyone is bathed and ready for bed! :)
Happy Father's Day Husband.

(doesn't Peter look itty bitty in this picture...?)

Jeff's Company Picnic





Not only does Pieper LOVE to eat watermelon off the rind (something she does not get to do in the house)... She found herself a nice new friend! :) Jake.

What happens when I forget I gave Pieper a crayon...



And Peter's dresser and Jeff found some on the TV... that was not so good but it came off without damage. Boy am I lucky! The paper is what she was supposed to draw on...she did a good job don't you think? :)

Just talkin'...




This house isn't big enough for the two of us!




Fun Tunnel!




We had a visitor in May



Jackie was kind enough to stop by while she was home from London, it was wonderful to see her and Pieper really enjoyed talking with her! Peter does love to flirt with the girls... :)

Walking @ Tod's Point


Pieper still love to pick up rocks! We have gotten one of the new sit and stand strollers(fits two children) which happens to have a very nice ledge for her to put her treasures on when she has more than she can carry.

Peter all ready to go, this is his second trip but first one for just the three of us!

I have been making the attempt to get to Tod's Point to walk. Pieper can mostly roam without me having to worry about any cars... and who doesn't like to take a walk along the beach! :)

Pieper havin' fun in the bath.

Peter after a bath.

He was trying to roll over as I was taking the pictures so I had to hold onto the blanket!
Yes. I seem to like spiking the babies hair.
Pieper getting up on the bed to make sure "Pete" gets dry.
Peter grabbed the monkey and picked it up all by himself and shook it!
He really is a very good storyteller.

How the babies took a nap.


Guess we had fun that day! :)
