Children's Museum on 7/23/09

I know I haven't posted for a while and I'm sorry about that. I FINALLY downloaded a bunch of pictures off of my digital camera yesterday and I'm ready to share! Here's some super cute pictures from our trip to the Children's Museum just before Bekah's birthday:

Bekah's 2nd Birthday

On Sunday afternoon, we had a gathering to celebrate Bekah's 2nd Birthday. We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather! Great family, friends, games, food... all a kid could ask for on her birthday! I'll have to post pictures of the pinata action later, they're on a different camera. The pinata was a lot of fun, definitely a tradition we're likely to continue!!

At the end of the evening, Blake was one pooped little guy!!!

Bekah reading one of her new books!

After supper, pinata and cake... she's already looking worn out!

The birthday girl's cake!

Bounce house fun...

Also, someone gave her a Barbie Thumbelina purse, necklace and earring set - but apparently someone got it out of the bag before we did - can anyone claim this cute gift? And an "Under the Sea" book?

Blake Update

I'm sorry I haven't updated the blog in quite a while. There's a lot to share!

Only a week after rolling over from tummy to back, Blake rolled over from back to tummy (on June 21st). He's been a roly poly boy ever since! We started him on solids last Tuesday (July 21) and it took him a few days to get used to the idea. On Saturday, July 25th, he ate his entire bowl of cereal so it looks like feeding him solids will need to be added to our daily routine. Now if we could only get him to sleep without nursing... At his 4-month appt on July 6th, he weighed in at 16 lbs 7 ozs, putting him in the 80th percentile for both height and weight. A big boy!

On a personal note, I've recently been promoted to Plant Controller! This means lots more responsibility and work-load for me but its quite an honor. I'll be the youngest Controller in North America, and I'll have lots of hurdles to overcome.

Bekah will be two on Wednesday. I can't believe it... We had a big party for her on Sunday afternoon. A beautiful day with lots of family and friends - I couldn't have asked for anything more satisfying. I'll post more on that later...

The Undefeatable has been Defeated!

Just wanted to update everyone that Matt's mad basketball skills have finally been defeated! Matt stopped by to Duffy's on Friday night and they decided to play a little one-on-one basketball. Ultimately a bad decision on Matt's part because Duffy opened up a can on him!

But apparently, according to Matt, Duffy cheats...

Blake is Rolling Over!

I haven't been able to get the pictures off of my camera yet but I just wanted to let everyone know that Blake is now rolling over, both directions!!! On June 14, he rolled over from his tummy to his back. And on Father's Day (while he was having some one-on-one time with Daddy!), he rolled over from back to tummy for Matt! He's a big boy - haven't weighed him in a while but he's got to be nearing 16 lbs. We'll be starting him on solids soon!

Bekah is as entertaining as ever. We painted her toenails for the first time on June 14, she loved it!
