Birthday Party Time & Baptism

Will turned 3 on June 14th but we just had his birthday party this past weekend along with Emma's baptism. I was very fortunate to have a lot of my family come and celebrate.

The pictures begin with Will's real birthday day:

Once Mike got off work we took Will to Incredible Pizza which is like a Chucky Cheese x 10.  We had a great time just the 4 of us.

Miniature Bowling:

Shooting with Daddy:

Bumper Cars:

Pirate Party

"Shiver me Timbers, I'm 3"

Emma was able to wear the Baptismal gown my Aunt Becky made 32 years ago. It was absolutely beautiful and was the perfect touch to a perfect weekend with family.

2 Months Old!!

My sweet baby girl. You are such a wonderful baby and I am so happy to be your mommy. You are starting to smile a lot right now and love to play on your Baby Einstein playmat. You are a great sleeper and have given me consistant 5 hour stretches at night with even one 7 hour stretch thrown in there!! You are still 100% breastfed and are nursing about every 3 hours. Our basic schedule during the day is to eat, then play for about an hour (we are trying to stretch that out a little), then we sleep, then we eat.....

As of today you are 10 lbs and 1/2 an ounce (25%) and 23" (75%). I guess mommy is going to be the short one of the bunch. You sure look like you are going to be a redhead like mommy but we will wait and see. I also think you are going to have blue eyes. You are such a beautiful baby and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you.

I know with your big brother running around you are going to want to try and catch up to him so for right now I am just treasuring every moment I have my baby girl because it goes by so fast.

I love you Emma!! Love, Mommy

The Big 3!!

I can't believe my little boy is 3 years old today. You are growing so big and just amaze me every day.
As of today you are 33.8 (75%) and 39 1/2 " (90%). You wear a 3T bottom and are a 4t/5t on top. You wear a size 10 shoe (WOW!!) You sleeping is still something to be desired on behalf of mom and dad. We are very routine in a bed time of 8:00 but you have started with some night terrors along with wanting to come into our room at night because Emma is in there too. You get up anytime from 5:30 when your dad leaves for work to 7:00a.m. You are taking some good naps, from 1.5 to 2 hours long.
You eat just about everything you can get your hands on just like your daddy. You are potty trained with a few minor issues we are working on but all in all I can take you out and about in big boy pants.
You have become daddy's best buddy and are mommy's little helper. You are also a great big brother to Emma.
You love riding your John Deere and playing outside. You love playing on your park. Your imagination is so much fun to watch and I can't wait until you and Emma can play together.

Some of Will's most recent cute sayings:
"You are my best friend in the whole world" to mommy and daddy
"You are my little princess" while laying on the floor talking to Emma
"I'm gonna give you a knuckle sandwich" to mommy (apparantly heard it on tv)

I love you very much and you will always me mommy's baby!!
