Summertime!




We are loving summer! Even being 30 weeks pregnant hasn't stopped us from enjoying the sunshine! I promised myself after the long cold summer I wouldn't complain about hot weather. We have spent lots of time at the pool. We took parent/tot swimming lessons in March and April, and even though I probably cussed every Saturday that we had to go, it was well worth it. The girls love the water and aren't a bit afraid. Not that it's more comforting or makes me worry about them any less, but at least they are super fun to take to the pool.

When we aren't at the pool, you can find us outside doing something... Can't believe how much my girls have used their water table. If you have a toddler, you should defineltey get one for your back yard. Between the water table, balance bikes, cozy coupes, and sprinkler... we get 1-2 hours of happy girls!
This picture not only cracks me up, but Sophie thinks it's pretty funny! Sadie is not a huge fan of the balance bikes.

Wish List

At 28 weeks, I'm definitely feeling the "nesting" stage of pregnancy! Already having two babies makes it important to be as organized as possible. I have been researching and online browsing and here are items on my wish list:

Since the girls were really small, they used their infant car seats WAY longer than most other infants. AT 2 1/2 they are still only around 23 lbs.... which means they "wore out" their infant car seats. Lynn and I agree that it would be nice to have a new one for the baby.

I'm very attached to our video monitor that we had for the girls but will now need two cameras for two different bedrooms.

I think with two toddlers, I will need a baby carrier. I used a friends when the girls were babies, so I will need one of my own now. I think that I will use it even more that I have two active toddlers.

I will also need a single stroller. I will still use my double BOB to run with, but need something more compact when I get out with the girls. I absolutely loved my snap n go so I wanted something that would hold a car seat and transition to a regular stroller.

Also, I will need new blankets/ sleep sacks .... I'm not afraid to use my pink girly blankets every once in a while, but know that I need some "boyish" blankets for when we are out and about. :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And we could always use a few more bottles:
 
 
 
Luckily our swing/ bouncy seat and other contraptions are all gender neutral and in great shape! Getting excited about our baby boy!
