Brooks is TWO Month Old!

Brooks is TWO months Old! He weighs 11 lbs 2 oz. and is 22.5 inches long. 

He has a very calm temperament which is nice. He has started to make little smiles and little cooing noises. He is very quiet when he coos so you have to be listening for it. He is sleeping for about 6 hours at night, which I think is great! He really loves to be in the bath. I think he would be happy to just stay in the bath all day! Caroline has been helping with me give him a bath every night which is so nice. I really enjoy this because it gives me a chance to spend some quality time with both kids at the same time.

Bath Time Slumber! 

Caroline is an excellent Bath Giver!

 Caroline really looks forward to Brooks’s Bath time too! Brooks still prefers to be held but he also enjoys being in his swing. This is nice too because I have been able to get some things done around the house while he plays in his swing! He is a sweet little Baby

What a sweet little Face! 

Fun night at the Thomas's

Tonight was the Daddy Eric's football fantasy draft up in NWA so we all went up.  The kids and I spent the evening with Peevy, Gracyn, and Cole at their house.  Eric and Clint went to their draft.  We had a very fun time just hanging out at their house.  The girls played and crafted all evening.  The boys pretty much slept and ate.  Peevy and were able to get a little chat time in too!  

Adorable girls!

A little dress up!

Craft Time!!!

Look at those crafts!

The boys got a little playtime in too!!

First Day of Pre-K!

Today was Caroline's first day of Pre- Kindergarten and the first day of her last year at First Place Academy. I am just so happy she has one more year here! 

She has been ready to go back to school  for a while now.  She has been asking when it will be time to go back and asking us to drive her by the school.   We went to her Pre-K ore rotation last Saturday.  We visited Her classroom and with her teacher Mrs. Edie! We love Mrs. Edie!   Caroline had a great time at orientation and seeing ing her friends! 

Caroline found her folder and sat right down.

     Caroline and Madelyn are in the same         class again this year! 

This morning she popped right out of bed and got ready!  Eric took her to school and dropped her off.  I stayed home with Brooks.  I have to say our morning was very nice and relaxed and full of Back to school excitement since I am not working right now.  

            

          All set and ready to go! 

            

              Caroline and Daddy! 

She had a great Day!  She was the very first "Special Helper" for the year!  And Mrs. Edie said she did a wonderful job!  I think it is going to be a great year! 

Swimm Lessons!!

It is Time for Swim Lesson!

 

First Day of Swim Lessons

On Monday July 8th Caroline started swim lesson for the first time!  I figured since I was off work all Summer that this would be a great time for us to do swim lessons.  I got her signed up at the Fort Smith Athletic Club for four solid weeks.  

I think it was a great program!  They evaluated each child on the first day and then worked with one and in very small groups based on their evaluation.  

Caroline learned quite a bit and got much more comfortable in the water.

She learned to blow Bubbles through her nose

She learned how to kick and use her arm to swim

She learned to float on her back

She learned to drive under the water to grab a pool ring

She conquered Jumping off of the diving board!

Caroline and Miss Avery!

Certificates of Completion!! 

She completed Level 1 and Level 2 of the Swim Program and I think she really enjoyed it too!

We will definitely be signing up for this program next Summer!
