Raising Arrows

We are SO happy for summer to finally be here. We've played outside a lot lately and you've loved playing in the water. Along with all the play we do... you've learned to sleep and a lot. You take great naps during the day usually 3ish hours and sleep all night long now in your big boy bed!! :) It's been fantastic! And came just in time too. :) You loved to snuggle on mom and dad's bed ... and you found one day that napping with momma on her bed was pretty nice. :)  Water has become your go to toy outdoors ... well at least when it's 85 degrees and muggy. You love running thru the water and sitting in your pool. I take the hose and make a sprinkler for you and you think it's fantastic.  For Memorial day we spent the evening at Poppy & Nanny's - with Grand Poppy and Grand Nanny. You enjoyed being center of attention with some many people. :) and again enjoyed more pool/water time.  Nanny got this cool horse at a garage ....

So here's our little Christmas gift... growing ever bigger and stronger!! A healthy heartbeat and quick movements! The tiny kid was actually kinda quiet for most of the u/s - but woke up for a few minutes and showed us a few moves; and i think by the end may have had the hiccups from so much excitement. :) He/She was measuring a few days behind... but nothing too serious or worrisome. The measurements put us at around Christmas Eve, but they won't change any dates cuz it's still so close to our original. So we'll have to see what the 20 week u/s shows... both in size and gender! :)  Here's our precious baby. Isn't he/she just so cute!?!?!  This is big brother ... checking out "baby". He likes to look at the u/s photos and tell momma/daddy about the baby. :) Seriously so cute!  We are planning a big gender reveal party/photo when we find out what we are having!!! Milo, Tim, & I will find out at the actual u/s - and we will re...

Okay so last month we took a  nice morning and went to the park with your cousins. The goal was to get some cute shots of the three of you before Nadia moved down south. To our surprise it was a great success!!! We were thrilled with the results! :)  I took the opportunity tho to get some good 19 mo. photos of you. And you did wonderful for those too. The above photo is absolutely my all time favorite photo. It warms my heart ... and just brings a smile to my face. The other photos melt my heart too... you're just SO cute! I can't help but take a zillion pictures of you!! :)   So full of smiles for momma   You love to "smell" the flowers... when in reality you just snot all over them. but it's cute to watch you try. :)  It was a great morning - and we captured lots of fun little moments to remember for a lifetime. Thanks for being so good and behaving so well for them. I know it's not always easy when your mother has a c...
