The bike lesson

Charlie enjoyed reading The Bike Lesson with Daddy!

Cousins!

Yesterday we went and visited Alisa, Brycen and Maryn.  Brycen and Maryn had a fun time taking caring of their cousins!

Maryn helped feed Charlie

And Brycen tried to get Adella to go to sleep by singing and rocking her in the bouncy seat.   As you can see, she wasn't even close to sleeping, but she did have fun teasing him!

Loving the outdoors

Today I needed to take my cloth diapers outside to line dry and the babies were being fussy so I decided to take them out there, even though it would only take me a few minutes to hang everything up.  Well they LOVED it!  I haven't really taken them outside just to hang out, we've gone on walks and they've been outside at some family functions, but never to just lay there and look around (don't worry, they are under the porch in the shade).   I seriously couldn't believe how good they were.  Not one time did they cry.  I decided to clean the pool a bit since they were enjoying themselves so much.

45 minutes later they were still sooooo happy!   

I would have stayed out longer, but I myself was too hot!

I think we might be doing more of this!!!  

The boxer

I think I mentioned before that Charlie has an obsession with his fist.  Seriuosly, he stares at it ALL the time!!  Hopefully he is working on his hand-eye coordination, because otherwise I don't know what he is doing.  I didn't need to wait around to capture these photos as proof, if he's awake, he's doing this.  

The first picture is preparation, fist is made and arm is straightened.

 Arm goes up and eyes are locked in!

Wait for it, wait for it...

 Stare 

 Stare

Serously, ALL the time and 90% of the time the right arm.  Anyone else have a funny kid like this?

A fair resemblance

We finally figured out who Charlie looks like
