Two Playdates!

Two playdates, all in one day!
First for a playdate with the Lustre gals and kiddos down in Fort Peck.


Natalie and Hadden must have found something interesting in the gravel.

Dear Sweet Samantha

Looking on.

After our playdate and lunch in Fort Peck, we headed to Glasgow for an afternoon of fun with the Runners.
This was Natalie's first time running through a sprinkler. 
She wasn't too sure of it at first.
REALLY not sure of it.

Noah held her hand and ran her through...it was much better after that!

All smiles!

Adorable Silas!


Two playdates in one day...two tired little girls...great memories made!

Throw me a bone!

She's such a ham (or should I say t-bone) sometimes!



Gotta love her though!

Seven Sweet Months

Aleah Lynn
7 months old
Sunday, August 7th, 2011









At seven months Aleah:
-is EVERYWHERE all of a sudden, due to her mastering the 'army crawl' or scooting.
-sits by herself like a pro.
-goes from sitting to scooting to sitting again.
-is up on all fours more often than not.
-adores her big sister and all of her toys, rather than the baby ones.
-eats way more than we thought imaginable.
-has been weaned and takes a formula bottle approx. 4 times per day, with the evening one including cereal.
-eats some baby food (mainly fruits), but for the most part she eats the same thing we're eating after it has been put through the baby food grinder.
-eats soft finger foods like disolvable puffs, graham crackers, ritz crackers, cheerios, baked potato, canned peas/green beans, etc.
-drinks a little water here and there out of a sippy cup.
-still enjoys the exersaucer, but not quite with the same excitement as the previous two months.
-has her first two teeth, and is showing signs of some more starting to make their way through.
-is definitely the more ticklish of the two girls.
-can squeal VERY loudly with delight...to the surprise of most of the people that are in the room with her.
-sleeps the entire night through CONSISTENTLY...finally!
-sleeps in the same room as her sister with her 'teddy' and 'blankie', and her thumb!
-LOVES being outdoors.
-swam in a pool (@ Grammie and Grandpa Hohlen's) and really enjoyed it!
