September 1-7

We hit the library at least once a week, one of the libraries does a play on the go activity where they just have fun play stations.   This time they had a balance beam!   

And perhaps my favorite part about play on the go is the free stuff!  We always get at least 1 free book, often a fun activity to do together AND snacks!  Seriously, I love it!  This time it was PB, graham crackers and m&ms.   When they wake up grumpy from their nap I just remind them of the fun snacks and happiness instantly happens!

Playing out our other favorite library, this week they put out blocks!

And sitting in the big chairs.  I seriously can hardly get them to leave this library!

Marilee had her 6 month checkup.   10 lbs 11 oz and 23 1/4 in long.

Charlie was super mad about something, who knows what.  This is a regular occurrence after nap time. 

One day Adam went in to wake the kids up from their nap, and Charlie wasn't in his bed, he had crawled up on the bear next to Adella!

Friday night Adam told them they could watch a movie and eat popcorn after dinner.  They were in HEAVEN!

Great Grandma Button sharing some cuddles with Marilee!  They were pretty good buds for a couple hours!

Playing with water bead and other fun stuff at Nora's!

August 25-31

Once a week we change out Marilee's tube - that means for a couple of hours she goes tube free!  I cherish those times just looking at her perfect little face!

Marilee also rolled over for the first time last week!  Back to tummy!

Her preferred sleeping position- laying across our legs on her tummy.  We do this A LOT!

Charlie and Adella love the library!  I loved that I caught her sitting in this big chair with a big pile of books reading to herself.   She had no idea I even took the picture she was so into her book!

Playing at Nora's again!   They all climbed onto this kitchen helper, pretty sure it wasn't made for four!

They did water bead painting this time.

Charlie is still not too sure about this stuff

But Adella seems to like it!

Charlie just doesn't like getting dirty in general.  I think he must have a bit of a sensory issues when it comes to stuff like this!   Hopefully as we do more of this stuff he'll decide it's fun to get a little dirty!

Afterwards they read books, all four lined up on the couch!  So cute!

August 18-24

Marilee is ready for FB season!

Adam had the day off and we had a crazy busy day, but we stopped by bass pro to show the kids the fish and stuffed animals.   Nothing like free entertainment!

The LOVED hopping in all the tents!

We also took Marilee to see a surgeon on Friday.  We scheduled her for a G-tube on September 19.  Unless some crazy miracle happens and she decides to eat before then!

We had awesome weather last week and could play outside for a long time!  

Check the stance!  Grip, not so great, but otherwise!  Woohoo!

Adella LOVED jumping in the teeny tiny puddle

But once they discovered how much fun it was to scoop rocks, they really had a blast!

A RARE pic of all three in the same pic looking and smiling!

And then the garbage truck came by, so that was fun!

And just because....

After church they both put on hats and were running around the house yelling "TO THE RESCUE!" Not sure what they were rescuing!

At Nora's this week they played with water beads, Charlie was not a fan!

He had more fun with actual water I think!
