I had a couple really cute ones with everyone smiling. They were the ones that ended up blurry.

Piper had finally started to call Crosby something other than Baby. She now calls him Crobby. She really likes telling him that his head is naked and that it is eight o'clock (even when it isn't eight o'clock).

happy birthday rory!

Rory had her birthday party early. She had it on Friday since she went to Centre Hall with Grandma and Grandpa today. She even got to have her stitches removed on the same day as her party.

She picked Cinnabon for her birthday cake. It turns out that thin candles melt in warm cinnamon rolls.

She got drawing supplies and the dress that she has been wanting. She's been waiting to get it so she can wear it to Aunt Courtney's wedding.

resting

Taking a break after the rather strenuous task of pushing two ponies in a stroller.

Crosby had a rather late two month check up yesterday. He's three and a half months old now. He's nice and healthy and weighs 16 lbs. 5 oz (90th percentile) and is 25" long (70th percentile). If i remember correctly, I think Gage was slightly longer and slightly lighter. I don't remember how long the girls were, but they were both definitely heavier. Neither of them were under the 98th percentile for weight for at least the first year. 

Crosby loves laying on his belly and looking around. It turns out, however, that you can't take a picture of him smiling in this position. As soon as he starts smiling his head drops down. Apparently its too much to handle at one time.

fourth of july

We had a picnic at my parents' house on the fourth of July. Here are a few pictures of some very dirty children who spent the entire day playing in the dirt.

Rory being slightly nervous about her sparklers.

Gage who isn't quite nervous enough about his sparklers.

Piper who liked sparklers until she found out that some fireworks make noise. She then spent the rest of the evening hiding in my lap wanting nothing to do with fireworks of any kind.

And Crosby who didn't get any sparklers at all.
