Let's Go On A Date - July!

Our July is busy so we did our July date a bit early - it was a FUN one!  Our little family loves a good hike!

after about a 45 min hike (straight up at some points with babies on us and it was HOT) - this was what was waiting for us at the top!!!  a crystal clear glacier fed lake!!!

swimming was a must!  we had to cool down before our trek down the mountain

the water was COLD but even Sully wanted in (did I mention that it was HOT out?!)

the boys did well in their packs - Sully walked at the end once we were in the flatter area - Branson slept the entire way down :)

it was a great morning - we live in a BEAUTIFUL area of the world...I mean look at what it in our "backyard"

June Phone Dump

Hard to believe it's July tomorrow!  Here is our phone dump from the month...

this guy spends most of his life on his tummy - he loves it - you put him on his back and within minutes he flips over

Sully loves to be a big helper 

brotherly love - the right pic was from the beginning of the month and the left one when from the end - they change so much in one month!

somebody got his very first library card - and then went "shopping" for books!

oh hello chunky cuteness :)

I mean...really?!

these boys LOVE their dad!

and so do I!

one morning a couple of weeks ago Matt had a bunch of active errands to do for work so he took Sully with him - here they are having their morning coffee break

I have been wanting to try cupcakes from this new store in Abby for awhile now (like since I was pregnant) - they were delightful but I probably don't ever need another one - sooo rich and sweet!

Saturday morning at the farmers market

again with the wanting to be on his stomach...ALL the time - it's becoming a hazard:)

Let's Go On A Date - June!

Another fun date night in our house...

Sir Branson - 5 Months!

5 Months - 17.5 lbs - 25.5 inches

Feeding - You are now feeding 4 times a day and normally only once at night.  You are a quick little feeder, but you still enjoy the post feed snuggle time with your mama!

Sleeping - You continue to have three naps a day.  You are doing better at putting yourself back to sleep when you wake up mid nap.  You are going down for your naps much better as well with little to no crying pre-sleep.  You have had a few rough nights here and there, but for the most part are sleeping 12 hours a night with one feed in there.

Milestones - You are moving all over the place.  You roll both directions.  You definitely prefer to be on your tummy ALL the time.  You are frequently found in the skydiving position wiggling away.  You have somehow figured out how to worm your way backwards.  You are no longer staying in the same spot I leave you in.  You are getting better use of your hands and can grab things and play with them.  You love your exersaucer and enjoy seeing the world for a standing position.  You are a happy, smiley baby - smiling at whoever will show you a little attention.

Likes - your brother, attention :), your little lion and giraffe crinkly toys, your play mat, baths

Dislikes - being overtired

Funtimes -  You had a fun month, summer has officially started in our house.  You went on your first family road trip to Shuswap Lake and then up to Mahood Lake.  You did great travelling and once you figured out your nighttime sleeping situation (you don't like sharing a room with your mom, dad & brother) you were a pretty perfect little man!   

You bring us so much joy - happy 5 months Baby B!
