Well, here are the latest of McKay. He has the cutest smile with dimples everywhere. He is sleeping through the night (always a plus), but one morning we woke up and he wasn't making too much noise, so we peeked at him to see what he was up to. Self-soothing had never made too much sense for me until now. He found his thumb and was able to put himself right back to sleep. Yes, we have a thumb-sucker.

Speaking of sleeping... Jonas had decided not to nap for a few days and the one day I decided to not give him a nap, he crashed in the car along with Daniel. And McKay, in contrast was wide awake. I just had to get a picture.
And then we have Jonas and all the new tricks he is learning. For a while he would wake up in the morning and try to slip into bed with us. After being rejected enough times he decided on a new tactic. After digging into his pajama drawer and putting on his footy pjs on backwards (dressing himself is a new trick) he opened up Daniel's door and crashed on his floor. Seeing both doors open and hearing nothing, I was worried that they may have escaped the apartment like they had a few months back, but this his how we found them. How Jonas got the zipper up that far is beyond me.

My boys are fish! Jonas started swimming on his own this summer and he is just fearless. He opens his eyes and holds his breath and just loves being in the water. Daniel wants to do everything that Jonas does and figured out how to get around with water wings. He also loves to blow bubbles, even though half the time he swallows the water. We took McKay in for the first time and he is following suit in his love of the water. He did great and didn't make a peep.

These pictures ought to answer a couple of inquiries I've been getting recently. "How do the boys like their new little brother" and "Newborns are cute and all, but when are we gonna see updated pictures of McKay?" HERE!! This should answer quite clearly!
And if it's not clear enough, Jonas and Daniel LOVE McKay. Daniel still needs to learn that hugs are good, but we don't need to lay on the baby to give him one.

Condo!


Jerren's family has a time share in McCall and it rotated to our family this year. We spent a day at the beach and rented some jet skis. Jonas went out with his aunts and had such a good time, he confiscated this one that belonged to someone else and sat there forever pretending to drive it all over the lake. The owner didn't mind. They got quite a kick off of how cute he was sitting up there.
Daniel and Jonas got some time to play in the sand together also. My cute little boys!
