little bitta' this an' that...

i've been slacking on the blogging. again. (i'm sensing a pattern here... i should just open every post with apologies for how long it's been since the last post.)

so what have we been doing?

well, lots of things, really...

... like playing with two toys at once (in an attempt to be creative AND to avoid sharing either one with his sister!)...

... picking flowers for mommy...

... and learning to suck our thumbs. ok, so it's just remington that's learning to suck his thumb because the rest of us already know how. not that we do it, fyi!

we also hit the annual car show in our town... got lots of photos there, but they're all for kelvin and any other car afficionados out there. they're all in their own separate file- maybe some of the more artsy shots i'll post to the photo blog. we'll see.

cole found the skateboard in his great-grandma's basement! it's amazing to think that the old school desks, chalkboard, ping-pong table and other miscellaneous toys are being enjoyed by a third generation!! they haven't lost their "fun", that's for sure.

saturday found us at my grandparents' house for a quick but sweet reunion with aunt dawn, bobby, becca, "gramma" mary, sarah, stephen, kristian, erin, mary, dale, my parents, sarah and of course, grandma and grandpa.

sweet little family shot (missing uncle brice- maybe next time!!)

grandma's piano has seen it's share of duets :)

how many people does it take to entertain an infant??

these beautiful tulips were given to my by my lovely littles... courtesy of my mom's garden. sunday morning, my mom let them each pick one, which they promptly ran to me with, sweetly yelling, "here, mama!". then they ran back and it was a free-for-all; now grandma's tulips are all gone. whups. fortunately, my mom is pretty understanding :) it's the thought that counts, and i suppose we can forgive the exhuberance that leaves her tulip bed bare...

miss squish and her monkey

remington turned 2 months old on saturday, so today we did a mini (and i mean very mini) shoot for the occasion.

first we got a little tongue sticking out...

... then a sneeze...

... a yawn...

... and finally a grin!!

today is remington's two month appointment, so later this afternoon (or possibly tomorrow, depending on time, energy and the general attitude of three certain small beings!) i'll have his latest stats. i know he's grown... i'm anxious to see just how much!

remington's appointment went well! he's 9 lbs, 14 oz (10th percentile) and 23 inches (50th percentile). dr h was pleased overall and got to snuggle rem for a little bit. he also got shots plus an oral vaccination... he didn't do more than fuss over the first shot, and screamed for about 15 seconds after the second round, then was fine. he kind of looked a little dazed, though, like he wasn't quite sure what had just happened. so... two months finds our smallest little man healthy and developing just fine!
