Dada turns…well, older.

Obviously birthdays at our house mean cake!

 

Bear

This bear has been a very important part of our family.  Here he is enjoying some cake.  He also sleeps with Leah every night and enjoys many outings with us.  What a lucky bear!

Pampered

Leah has been enjoying some special pampering from Dada.  It has become a nice little routine…take a shower and then get her hair dried.  She just loves it.

that time of year

Leah’s checking out the tent she’s never seen before…

Jonah pretending to sleep in it…

Elijah, so excited!

Dada and the boys spent the night in the tent in the backyard.  This is the stack of books Elijah had to take with him.  He was very concerned about whether he would be able to read before falling asleep in the tent.  Love my little reader.

Camping is in the air!  It’s definitely feeling like autumn around here.

Love this photo, Leah’s legs don’t even reach the end of the chair, while Elijah’s are never-ending.

Leah’s “Cheese!” for the camera is so cute.  Shows all of those two bottom teeth she’s got!

(She’s got three on top, you just can’t see them here.  This girl is slow on teeth, only five teeth at 16 months old!)

co-sleeping

Becomes difficult when someone decides to sleep horizontally.

and the third one loves cars also…

Leah was quiet the other day and I found her with Jonah’s cars.  She was lining them up (just like she’s seen him do) and making them go one by one, then lining them all up again.  She did this many times in a row.

 

 

Grinning for the camera…”CHEESE!”
