Haaaaappppppyyyy Summer! We are having a blast!

I love kissing my Sissy. I have become a big helper for Mom. I reminded her that Sissy was 3 months old and that she needed to take some pictures of her...

Mom says we're going to get pictures taken later this summer by a camera man, and she'll send some out then.

Earlier this week I caught a little bug and developed a diaper rash. Although it was a bit annoying, I got to run around without any bottoms on! Woo hoo! (Mom and Dad kept me in the backyard where the neighbors couldn't see.)

We have some more pictures, but they really aren't appropriate for here.

Being home with Mom has been great. She says we are getting in bad habits... like sleeping in... but I told her that's what summer is for!

She taught me how to blow bubbles...

And while Sissy practices tummy time,

we practice my colors and play cars!

At the park this morning, Sissy napped...

and I played...

and practiced saying some names. We'll keep practicing!

I am not the only one talking these days... although Sissy has A LOT of practicing to do...

She doesn't have to practice smiling because she does it all the time! Mom and Dad just need to practice getting it on camera!

Hope all is well with all of you! Kendall and I want to wish a Happy Anniversary to Aunt Susan and Uncle Pete and Aunt Kady and Uncle Jihad!

Love,

Jackson

Happy Father's Day!

I love you, Dad! Happy Father's Day to the BESTest Dad ever!

Dad wasn't happy about this picture - he had been out mowing and grilling and Mom made him take the picture even though he was dirty and smelly. Notice our cool shirts?! Auntie Nicole sent them - mine says "I love my Dad" and Sissy's says "Daddy's Little Princess." Thank you, Auntie Nicole! It was so thoughtful of you. We miss you!

We've had such a nice weekend. On Saturday we enjoyed a perfect day at the zoo. In the late afternoon I had a blast playing in my pool. Saturday night Mom and Dad went out with some friends and I had a new babysitter. I liked her a lot and Kendall and me were really well-behaved for her.

I've been liking the dinosaur exhibit when we go to the zoo.

Sissy is 3 months old! She loves to smile and giggle and try to talk! She also rolled over the other day in her crib.

I've been working on drinking out of a water bottle. Thankfully it was a hot day when I started practicing!

Happy Father's Day to all you wonderful Dads, Godfathers, Grandpas, and Great-Grandpa's out there. Hey - you know what? Not only is it Father's Day, but it is Papa's birthday! Happy Birthday, Papa! Can't wait to celebrate it when we see you for the 4th of July. Hope you enjoyed your special day!

Love,

Zoo and Visit with Nana and Papa

Mom, Kendall, and I went to the zoo a couple weekends ago. We met Elliott, her mom, and her brother there. It was so much fun! I especially love that I don't have to ride in the stroller - instead I can just walk and run around!

Speaking of Elliott... she and her family got me some cool sunglasses for my birthday! They also got me some sand and water toys. Thanks so much!

Besides wearing my new shades, I am really into trying on shoes.

Last weekend Nana and Papa were babysitting at Uncle David's and Aunt Audrey's, so we went to visit.

I really enjoyed playing with Cohen - especially when we played the organ together!

Then we thought instead of making music, we'd dance to some!

I always have so much fun with my cousins. I can't wait to spend some time with them around the 4th of July.

Love,
Jackson

Kendall's Turn

Hey - it's finally my turn! I've been trying to tell Jackson he's not the only one anymore... and you know... he has taken the news very well. He said he's willing to share his blog from time to time. I know I am the 2nd child and all... but he needs to share the spotlight a little, don't you think?

These are just a few recent pictures of me. I am going to be 3 months old already next Friday!

Here are a few videos of me!

I have to admit... I really do have an amazing big brother. This morning he snuggled up right beside me and we watched Mickey Mouse.

A short while later he was giving me kisses. I love him, too.

We went for a family walk today, which was nice. Mom is really excited that summer break has begun. We joined the Y and are looking forward to going there a lot.

Jackson can't wait to get on here to post pictures of going to the zoo. That will be coming soon!

Happy summer everyone!

Love,
Kendall

Busy Busy Busy!

Hi hi! That's my new way of saying hello now. I say, "Hi" double-time. It's a busy time of year, isn't it? We're sorry we haven't shared all our wonderful news and pictures lately, but the blog has not been working very well.

I have been playing outside and enjoying the beautiful weather as much as I can.

Grandma Mac and Aunt Kate left this morning. It was so hard to say goodbye. Three weeks went by too fast! I felt better knowing they will be back at the beginning of September. Thank you SO much Grandma and Aunt Kate. We enjoyed your visit and company so much that the house just doesn't seem the same without you.

While Grandma and Aunt Kate were here, as you already know, we celebrated Kendall's baptism and my 2nd birthday, but we also got to celebrate Aunt Kate's birthday!

That was some yummy ice cream cake, wasn't it Aunt Kate! Mmmmmm mmmm!

Here are some other pictures from our time together...

These last couple pictures are Kendall's last "Itsy Bitsy Spider" with Grandma. She sang it to her everyday and she just loved it! She has begun to smile a lot and coo, too.

Thank you, again, Grandma and Aunt Kate for being so, so helpful. We miss you!

We will post more again very soon - hopefully tomorrow. I want to share my trip to the zoo with my friend Elliott and my visit with Nana and Papa this past evening. Plus Sissy has been anxious to have her turn on here.

Here's a quick video of Uncle Bill with Kendall.

Don't forget to check back often!

Love,
