Lately

We've all been enjoying the fact that Mimi and Poppa are in town. Anthony has been flying a lot lately, so it's been good to have the extra help! The boys are doing well. Some of Braden's favorite things are - the garbage/recycle truck, food, books, saying "no," and the song Rocketship Run. Some of Hunter's favorite things are - eating, sleeping, smiling, blowing bubbles and spitting! He has started to sleep unswaddled and we'll see how he does tonight for his first night in his crib unswaddled. Hopefully it won't interrupt his wonderful sleeping through the night routine! It also seems he's drop his night feeding and now eats around 7 or 8 and then goes to bed. He loves his baths and also loves to hold long conversations with me when he's nursing. It's pretty funny. He'll coo and smile away at me all while eating. Makes nursing fun (although it wasn't fun a couple of days this week when I had mastitis... that's no fun at all!).

Hunter and Kemper are doing more interacting these days!

Braden has spent lots of time in the pool. He no longer likes to "go under" however.

Braden also spends lots of time reading books. Mimi brought some "new" one's that were mine and Mike's when we were little. He really tends to like those.

We've been going to storytime at our local library quite regularly. Braden enjoys it. It's a good summertime activity in AZ! I should mention that singing has become a favorite past time of Braden lately as well. Rocketship Run, Happy Birthday, Rain Rain Go Away (although that song sure doesn't apply here!) and the ABC's have been some of the latest. He'll often sing some songs in his bed when he wakes up in the morning before calling for me or Daddy. I highly recommend Laurie Berkner's music for kids.
