Under the Sea

Emily brought her kids down to hang out. Does two years in a row make it an annual tradition? I hope so!

We tried to beat the heat and headed to Grapevine to visit the aquarium.

Quinn got the memo...smile!

What a fun way to look at the fish!

 

That shark was large and in charge.

 

Finally we got to touch stuff! Carsyn felt the star fish.

We wrapped up the visit at the indoor jungle gym. No shoes. Socks required.

Stack it

Carsyn totally surprised me last night with her stacking skills. 6 high! So impressed with her patience and steady hand.

Golfer

Carsyn got her very own putter today. Daddy took her, to the store and she practiced on their putting green before they came home.

Carsyn and Tony practiced putting in the living room. Does this face look familiar? Not only is Carsyn practicing in the house like ever other golfer I know, but she's getting frustrated with herself like them too.

Here's to many more years of golfing with Daddy!

Swimming

Last night we got to hang out at the pool. We had dinner with some friends and played in their backyard pool. It was a great family night. Tony worked with Carsyn on kicking her legs and swimming in the pool. Ty was only in about 10 minutes, but he really liked it. It was just one big bath for him and he loves his baths.

3 Months!

Ty, you are 3 months old on the 4th of July. What a party! Of course you didn't see any fireworks...you were sleeping. But that is a good thing. Sleep is what you do best. Well, one of the things you do best. I went back to work a few weeks ago and you have been a rock star. You like to sleep most nights between midnight and 6. Some times you are down for the count by 11. This is huge! Thanks!

You're still in 0-3 month clothes, but we're ready to move on.

You wear a size 2 diaper.

I estimate you weigh 14.5 lbs.

I put you in the Bumbo chair for the first time. You sat up like a champ.

Ty you are so calm and relaxed. Everyone says what a great baby you are. I'd love to take credit for that, but I'm pretty sure this is just your personality.

Momma, Daddy and big sister love you so much.

Swaddle

How do you swaddle?

This is how Carsyn swaddles. She has been so very helpful with Ty. She is sweet and thoughtful with him.

What a good big sister!

Water Park Drama

What do your kids do at the water park? This is what mine do.

Carsyn is always so excited to go. She told Tony she couldn't wait to run into the water. Well...she played for almost an hour, then hurt her leg going down a slide. After some hysterics, she fell asleep. Ty slept the whole time, except the few minutes he was eating. Then a summer thunder storm rolled through and rained on us as we left the park. Good times.

2 Months


Ty, the last 2 months have flown by. You are the final piece to our family, balancing everything out. You are calm and relaxed. Your easy going nature has made it so easy to be your Momma and Daddy. You still have all your dark hair and pretty blue eyes, but I'm sure you'll go blond like your big sister. Speaking of, Carsyn adores you.

While you were sleeping fairly well, this last week you've been eating ever 2-3 hours. I'm feeling a growth spurt coming. You rarely cry and almost never scream. When you do, it's often at dinner time:-)

You wear size 1 diapers.

Mostly 0-3 clothes. Some NB still fit.

I estimate you are about 12 lbs.

You are a joy! It's a pleasure to be your parents. We love you Tyson Drake

 

Sweet Babies


Carsyn held Ty while I read them a Fancy Nancy book before nap time. Then she rolled over and gave him a hug. Feel good momma moment!
