Oops!

Okay all I apologize for the severe lack of blogging recently.   I can make excuses- I “lost” the camera for several weeks, Rayleigh spilled milk on my computer rendering it useless for a bit, the weather has been nice so we’ve been outside not inside writing blogs etc.

But the honest truth is that I now have a 10 week old baby boy and a 20 month old daughter and I want to spend my days and night enjoying everything from afternoon snuggle naps to the spilled milk on the floor or computer.  In between I’ve tried to make sure the house isn’t condemned but I’m not entering a Good Housekeeping contest anytime soon.  That said I recognize we live in the great frozen north and most our family and friends get to enjoy our children through the magic of the internet and blog post like this so I’ll try to recap the highlights of the past month. Enjoy!

We have had some big milestones since the last posting.  Dillon has passed the newborn stage and is now officially an infant!  He has celebrated with several big accomplishments including a mastery of rolling over.  He had rolled over the first time at 3 weeks but is now determined to avoid tummy time by promptly rolling to his back.  He has also started to consistently let Mom and Dad sleep for 6 hours stretches at night.  On March 9th he successfully followed my hand from left to right and back (a very big developmental milestone).  And as Kevin said a few days later it is very cool to see him looking back at us now.  He is continuing to grow like crazy 2 month statistics were: length 23″, weight 11 lbs 8 oz, head circumference 15.5″ all perfect and on track.

Rayleigh has been having a blast in the unseasonably warm weather we’ve been having.  And has had some milestones of her own: she is now firmly in picking out her own clothes and dressing herself (at least from the waist down), dancing and singing (“E-I-E-I-O” is a favorite phrase as well as lyrics to  “If all the raindrops”), she also is becoming proficient at playing pretend… horses galloping is a big hit.  This week she also has added full sentences and following two and three part directions.

Now you say that’s all great Kelsey but what have you been up to with all these new tricks? Here’s the past few weeks in pictures…

 

 

 

 

There are plenty of new pictures posted in the kids’ folders so feel to browse and see what else we have been up to. I’ll work on labels in the coming days.  Have a great weekend everyone we are off for some new adventures in Connecticut with some good friends.
