Another Baby!

Today when we got in the car for swim class Leo said..

"Mom I hope you have another baby in your belly."

I told him it would be awhile before that would happend so he told me...

"Okay, but we will have two more babies.  Boy's like Ace, but we will have to call them something else. And we will have to get a bigger car!"

First Real Swim Class

Leo just finished his first season of swim class at the Y.  He made two friends, Micha and Noah.  They are twin boys and their family goes to St. Matthews!  Small world.

He had a great time, but did get in trouble a few times for goofing off with the twins.  He still has a long way to go to be able to swim without help, but he will be swimming again in the fall season.


At the end of the season the kids get "report cards" in the attitude section Leo got a "yes" for everything, but I love that the teacher hand wrote "Very Confident!" too.  Yep, that is Leo.

I was a bad mom and did not take any pictures during class...maybe next season...      

More Summer Fun...

Max hanging out by the pool at Uncle Tim's house. 

Max and Callie watching the ducks and chickens. 

Leo jumping in at Uncle Tim's pool. We have so much fun hanging out there with the Fathbruckners!

Max building a tower.  He is working on saying his colors and can now say green and blue.  He is really close to being able to identify all of his colors.  Leo loves to help quiz him!

Best part about making something...taking it apart. 

I think Max is ready for a bigger bed, he loves sneaking into Leo's bed for naps. 

Ace the Alligator at 1 month!  

Tyler let Max turn his crib into a toddler bed.  He loves it.  Although, he has been pretty ornery about going to sleep now!  I am not sure how long this will last.

This is Max at 4 months old falling asleep on the play
mat.  He used to do this all the time.   

This is Max this summer...when he gets really tired he likes to find the play mat and lay down.  he doesn't go to sleep but just rest for awhile.  I think its so cute.  He is still my baby.  :) 

Here is some of our outdoor finger painting.  It very messy process with both Max and Leo, but they both love it and it helps Max learn his colors.  Here is Leo's picture of ocean animals.  The green thing is a shark...sadly I tried to help him with that one.  

Max's summer art work. 

Trying to beat the 90 degree summer heat.  

The big boys giving Ace some love.  They both can't wait for Ace to be able to play with them.  Leo also likes to lay down with Ace and read him books.  Mas has tried to pick Ace up a few times which was a little scary, but most of the time he just points to him and says "Ace!".  

The cool kids.  Max is doing his Bryan Rogers impression...pretty good. 

Ace hanging out with me at the pool. 

The boys love swimming at the Y.  We have been going to the outdoor baby pool and Tyler has been lucky enough to be the one to get into the water with them while I watch Ace.  

Leo did this puzzle all by himself.  It is a really hard one, so we were impressed! 

Hanging out with Baby Trae. 

We had a fun night with the Chilicki boys.  Leo and Jack built this train track while Max and Christopher helped. 

Ace Rolled Over!

Little Man doing his tummy time.

Ace rolled over today, August 7th, from his tummy to his back.  He is also pretty good and holding his head up.  Keep working those muscles for crawling!

I hope they keep this up....

The boys are obsessed with the sweeper.  They love to use it and will help sweep the entire house!

Summer Fun

Keeping an eye on the experiment. 

Using water to melt the ice.

Using our hands to melt the ice.  

discovering a whale.

Max liked putting the animals in the box.  His favorite is the octopus.  He can even say it octopus! 

We had a great time with this little science lesson.  I put small ocean animals in a a bin full of water and food coloring for the "deep water".  Then once the block of ice was frozen we took it outside on a hot day and used different methods to melt the ice and discover all the different species that live in the ocean.  Unfortunately I put to much in so it was way to green in the water, but it was still fun. It did turn our hands green!
