5oct2013 - fall at last

the days are getting shorter and the temperatures are topping out in the low 90s...ahhh...now if we could just get the pesky mosquitos to quite chomping on us!  the kiddos continue to amaze and astound!

what a day, can't even stay awake for a diaper change!
 
our little man is all about the water.  he loves his sponge baths, getting in the shower with us and taking baths in the big tub with mommy or mommy and mackenzie together.  even the sound of the running water calms him, but...he seems to have outgrown our sink already!  this is the g-rated version.  the more comical version is when he is uncovered and creates a fountain out of the sink all the way to the wall!
 
so, last friday, when he was fussy and we were both warm and sticky, i got the whale tub out for the first time and filled it in the big tub.  he just hung out, kicking and talking for 30 minutes!

despite the heat, jackson has taken to the sling and the wrap...i love it!

daddy and Mackenzie jamming to the tunes for a Saturday afternoon dance party.

who's sleepier here?  we are really trying to get mackenzie to embrace quiet time since she won't nap at home...check out those tired eyes.  she still has the energy to comfort jackson...how cool to watch a 2 1/2 year old calm and put a 7 week old to sleep!
of course, she always yells, 'HE IS AWAKE' even when she just sees a hint of eye.  daddy's normal response is 'i wonder why?'

mackenzie helping with jackson's bath...wish it was a better photo, it was so sweet!


the big day finally arrived.  mackenzie got to go see dr. thiel.  she was amazing getting her teeth brushed, polished, fluoride treated and then examined by the dentist!

Jackson was so excited to watch me pumping (as if he doesn't get enough) that he figured out how to put his feet at the bottom and 'stand up' while laughing and smiling.  he was so disappointed to see that milk go to the freezer.


home depot project number 3...mackenzie loves her pins!  today they had face painting and popcorn too for fire safety week.  after we finished building an airplane, we went to get new shoes...another size bites the dust and mackenzie had fun shopping...where does she get this from?
 
as our weather is cooling, mackenzie is starting to sleep better and jackson is fussing less.  seems the heat takes its toll on everyone but daddy.
he spent so much time enthralled with this mobile and a zebra today, talking and smiling away.  can't believe we're headed for 8 weeks on monday already!
