Ten on Tuesday.

1) Please accept my apologizes for my lack of blogging. Honestly, the entire month of May is a blur. It was a very exhausting way to start our summer. We always go... go... go... over the hot months, it just doesn't usually start off so crazy! I'm hoping June won't be so crazy - therefore, I should be able to keep up with my blog a bit. Click here for some fun May pictures!

2) Carter went for his three year old well visit last week. He is a healthy little boy - his doctor had nothing but wonderful things to say about his personality and demeanor. She told us to keep up the good work. It was refreshing to hear, as parents you just never know if what you are doing is working!

3) Mackenzie is really starting to grasp cause and effect. She lays on her activity mat and hits just about every rattle she can reach.

4) Memorial Day weekend was a fun one.... we were lucky enough to be home for the long weekend - it felt GREAT. On Saturday we broke out the slip-n-slide - I'm still not sure who had more fun... Josh or Carter?!? Sunday was a fun day at a local lake. Our neighborhood had a BBQ - it was a hot, fun-filled afternoon.





5) Kenzie is holding her head up so well lately we decided to break out the bumbo - she LOVES it. I wish we would have tried it out a bit sooner.

6) Carter and Josh have spent lots of time working in the yard. It is a work in progress, but I think Josh is finally starting to feel like he is making some headway with it.

7) Little Miss is on a pretty good schedule. She eats about 7oz every 4 hours during the day - 7am, 11am, 3pm and 7pm. Her evening feeding will often consist of 8 - 9oz, I guess she knows she needs to fill up for the night. Both her and Carter are always in bed and sleeping by 8pm. One thing I learned early on with Carter - kids thrive off of a routine. I have learned over the last three years that you don't need to be as rigid as I had originally thought - just as long as you stay as consistent as possible. Her daytime naps are still a work in progress; I'm not stressing over them too much - since she has been sleeping through the night since she was 5 weeks old - we can't complain!

8) Mackenzie is a lot like me - she does NOT like to be hot. We know that if she is crying and is not hungry or tired - she is hot. So, she often hangs around the house in all of her glory!

9) Kenzie talks..... all the time! Okay, technically it is cooing - but, it is non stop! I'm convinced her and Carter hold conversations from time to time. Carter continues to be a great big brother. He adores his little sister and seems to be anxious to teach her everything!

10) It was soooo hot this weekend we ended up at Target on Saturday afternoon to buy Carter a new pool. He picked out the one with the slide and basketball hoop. Of course it took forever to get it all set up - but, once it was he was hooked!
