Oh man, I am so behind on blogging again! Here are some pics from June. I will try to post more soon!

I love this outfit on Si

Avery helping me weed. He likes to pull the really big ones, and he gets his whole body into it

Preparing for the upcoming camping weekend. Kieron kept saying “all done!”

Avery doing somersaults. He also exclaimed that there was room to wrestle in the tent!

Kieron Turns Two!

It’s hard to believe, but Kieron turned two last weekend. We surprised our little chef with a new “souped up” kitchen when he came downstairs. It didn’t disappoint, and he’s been whipping up all kinds of tasty things in it since.

Today someone described Kieron as a “little ray of sunshine,” and that truly sums up his disposition. At two years old, Kieron is cheerful, laid back, and smiles easily. He’s very physical, and a little bit of a daredevil. He can be short-fused at times, but overall, is pretty even keeled. He loves Elmo, dogs, blocks, balls, music, and all things cooking related. He is an enthusiastic, yet picky eater. Kieron loves and fears his big brother. He follows Avery everywhere, and misses him when he’s away. However, he puts up with a bit of tormenting.

His language is really taking off. It’s fun to listen to him put his thoughts into words. Some cute phrases we hear a lot are:
“Is he crying?” (referring to Silas)
“I’m making ______” (in the kitchen)
“Avery hit/bonk/hurt”
“Wee ma way/mahna mahna/got grapes” (referring to YouTube videos he wants to watch)
“Chichen” (kitchen)
“I wuv you”

He had his two year well child visit a couple days ago. He weighed in at 29 lbs 6 oz (67%) and measured 35.5″ (79%).

Here he is checking out his new kitchen

Seattle Aquarium

Last weekend Jonathan took the big boys to the Seattle Aquarium while Silas joined me at a friend’s baby shower. They had a great time checking out the marine life together and finished off the day with a nice seafood lunch!

Around the House

Here’s a collection of pictures from April. This first one is from Jonathan’s birthday. We had blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Kieron loved flipping the pancakes!

We went to our second Caspar Babypants concert early in the month. Chris Ballew, of the band “The Presidents of the United States of America” is the singer. He’s got great children’s music, which Avery and Kieron (and Jonathan and I) really like.

I just love his smile!



Dancing with Kieron

Avery and Kieron each have little baby dolls  (my old dolls) they like to take care of now that Silas is here. They’re so cute, both burping, swaddling, and cuddling their little dolls!




We’ve had some beautiful weather lately. The boys have had a lot of fun playing in the backyard together.
