Just another week

Waking Mckell up from her nap- sometimes I get impatient waiting for her to wake up on her own and you would too if your child took 4+ hour naps during the best hours of the day! (might sound heavenly I know to most and I shouldn't complain but when you're staring out the window at the ocean on a gorgeous day and can't go out because your child naps from 12-4...)

Ready to head off to the park

 I found a park with a swing finally, even if it's a pretty ghetto park- Kell still likes it.

Sadly I think she gets this from me... She likes to bite/suck on her toes. Weird I know but I used to do the same thing when I was little- probably tmi but honestly I don't think it's that gross! 

 Mommy's little snuggler

One month old today! Taking a bath in the sink. He has already started filling out and put some weight on- getting a little chubby. He eats a lot more than Mckell did and is getting bigger faster than she did- I bet he's gained twice as much weight as she did at this point.  He's finally starting to be awake a little more and I love it when he is and can stare into his baby blues! That's right- he got SOMETHING of mine- blue eyes and I love it! (not to say that I don't LOVE Kell's gorgeous brown eyes) But finally something of the two of them I can claim came from me- ha!

He's starting to give us more and more smiles- just melts your heart

Love the double chin

A day in our life out in New Jersey

Mckell likes to play with her little friend Sebastian. He's about 3-4 months younger than Kell but they have fun going on walks and running around together.

Giving each other hugs

 Kell showing off her baby Jason

Kell definitely knows how to cheese it!

Pretty much the only vegetable I can get Kell to eat willingly... She loves corn on the cob

 Jason likes to sleep with his arm over his eyes

Having a 'teat' at dunkin donuts- which in my opinion isn't even in the same league as krispy kreme donuts. But obviously Kell enjoyed her donut with sprinkles.

Beach Livin...

Getting ready for the beach.

Mckell's favorite swimsuit is her bumblebee one from grandma Rabe- thanks mom, she's the cutest girl in the sand!

We love when daddy gets to come with us- she's attached to his hip, literally

 Such a gorgeous beach

No fear for this little girl, once she got steady on her feet with the waves coming in and out- she couldn't get enough

Skimboarding- can't wait until I can try (not such a good idea right now bc of just having a baby, healing, and such)

3.5 weeks and such a good baby. He's been sleeping 6 hours at night since 2 weeks old and hardly ever fusses. Sorry all you mommies that already hate me because Kell was such a good baby, I think we've got another keeper. He does spit up a lot (Kell never did) but I'm not complaining!

pigtails and loving it

After lots of struggling and much persuasion, I FINALLY was able to put Kell's hair in pigtails! Her hair has been long enough for months now but getting her to sit semi-still is impossible. But a movie and some chocolate did the trick and I love it!

 Say goodbye to scraggly hair... on our good days

first time playing in the sand- she fell instantly in love and Jason naps like an angel in the stroller

(we found this stroller driving to the store at a garage sale for $40 and I was ecstatic! A must have this summer- wish we had room in our car to bring it back home with us)

Loves his daddy- 3 weeks old

The Jersey Shore

We finally made it to the Jersey Shore and this was the kids reaction... 

Probably passing some gas, don't you we wish we all made this face? haha

And this is the gorgeous beach we live steps away from- jealous? Don't be- come visit us!!

The boardwalk, we walk up and down daily

And this is where we live, pier village.  It's so fun with all the cute shops and yummy food that lines the bottom and we live above- can't beat this summer livin!

 We are really enjoying our summer out here. We go to the beach and pool daily, walk up and down the boardwalk, and wait impatiently until we get to spend more time with daddy (he doesn't go to work until one so mornings are definitely our favorite time of the day).
