New cute pics- a quickie

Is he not the most adorable baby in the whole wide world?

Mavi has a way of looking like the biggest goofball whenever I bring the camera out!

Did Mom get out all of the shampoo?

I love the big boy tub!!!

Mavi goofin' around with good girl.

I think it's a rite of passage in our house to get a photo taken while french kissing the dog.

Keenie loves Sasha!

Dr. Lisa suggested we just put Keenan's food on the table and let him use his fingers to scoop it up since he HATES when we feed him. We did that once. Thanks for the great advice. :)

Ok, so I have a ton of new pics but only have time to put a few on right now. These are the kiddos lovin' up on Sasha, our good girl, and babies in the tub. Keenan has since given up his little tub seat and crawls and splashes all over the big tub. He had his 6 month checkup and is 17.4 pounds and is 26 and a half inches long. Only 5 pounds to go til he and Mavi weigh the same- I think it'll happen before the 1st b-day.

Ok so maybe once a week isn't so realistic....

Keenan and Mavi are wearing their cool new Hawkeye shirts. Mavi's is, of course, soaked as he is learning how to drink from a big kid cup at mealtime. Thanks Uncle Keith and Aunt Darcy- they look too cute!

Keenie is practicing sitting up and as long as no one looks at him, talks to him, or puts a toy near him he can stay upright! :) Yay Keenan!

This is Mavi's new "I am NOT doing what you want me to do!" face. Pretty soon he'll have the "Aw, man. I'm in time out again???" face.

Although Keenan is not a big fan of sitting in his swing, he loves to chew on it and push it around.

Watermelon is goooooooood!

Here's Eric, Keenan, and our cousin Caleb all wearing their Nuggets jerseys. Can you believe this was completely unplanned? No kidding.

Keenie and Caleb cuddling.

Here's a hat we got from Aunt Marni- isn't he a cutie?

As some of you know, we get a ton of hand me down toys and clothes. Well, here's the latest. A Hummer that actually goes and has a radio. Although Mavi's feet can't push the pedals yet, he loves taking rides with Ty and Caleb.

Keenan loves chillin' in the swing, sucking on the straps.

Stuff has been pretty mellow around here. Haven't been to the pool lately since our doc thinks Mavi picked up his virus there, but he did get to try slip n slide last weekend. Keenan got to try it also courtesy of Aunt Missy. They both loved it, but I don't think we're quite ready to put one of those in the backyard. Mavi is growing and learning new words every day- the latest is Baby Bumbo. Keenan is heavier by the second and loves to crawl around. Maveric is just starting to figure out that Keenan thinks big boy toys are much cooler than baby toys and Mavi isn't sure that this is ok with him. Learning to share may take some time. Take care!

Houston...we have a crawler!

Here he goes...

What a big boy. This was taken at almost 5 months old.

Sasha had a barfy day too (she threw up twice). So here's a pic of my two sick babies loungin' on the couch.

Keenan has started CRAWLING!!!!! For a day or so it was the rocking back and forth on the hands and knees. Then he just started going. He can only travel a few feet, but I have found him under the coffee table, halfway under the couch, and in a few other not so safe places. Mavi is getting a little better each day (he's been pretty sick all week) and his temp was down to 101 this morning. YAY!

Has it been a month??? Holy Cow!

Fourth of July night. Mavi finally fell asleep at 10:10, but was of course up bright and early at 7.
First time painting with actual paints, not the crayola color wonder stuff that doesn't get anywhere it shouldn't. Let's just say this was interesting and we'll wait a little while before trying again. Mavi looking at giraffes on Uncle Doug's shoulders. Cari, Jace (in stroller), Doug/Mavi, Dad, and Me/Keenan. At the giraffe area in the zoo.

Our little man chillin' in the baby bjorn with his shades on.

Grandpa Steve helping Mavi get a drink of water. Mavi was not too thrilled about having to wear the dorky hat, but it was like 800 degrees outside so a hat was needed.

Keenan was wiped out after we left the zoo.

Nana Bonnie got Mavi this drum for Christmas and he loves to wear it like a helmet because he can bonk into things. Just a little butt shot of him wearing the helmet while nekkie. Ahhhh, can't wait to get these out during the high school years when he pisses us off.

Mavi and Daddy in the pool.

We keep trying to give Keenie food but every time he just hates it, as you can tell by the food all over his body and none in his mouth. We'll try again next week.

He is such a happy little guy. Loves the exersaucer. Especially if someone is talking to him.

Keenan and Grandpa lounging in the backyard.

Mavi LOVES to spin in the office chair and get so dizzy he can't walk. This is pre-spin so his eyes aren't all crazy yet.

Going down our fancy waterslide. :)

We're pretty sure Sasha doesn't mind when Mavi rides her. She's such a good girl. This is Mavi's friend Diego cheesin' for the camera.

Sleepy Keenan. Check out the rolls. And man boobs.

Keenan is chewing on absolutely anything he can get in his mouth. Including Sasha's ears. YIKES. She definitely was not pleased about that new development. Sorry it's been soooo long since we last posted. Although it seems like we're just hangin' out at the house, stuff is sooo busy. Eric and I have actually managed to go to a few social events without the kids! Doug, Cari, Jace, Ozzie, and my Dad all came out over the fourth and we had a good time. Cari, who is a much more efficent picture take than I am, will have loads of trip photos. The kids loved their cousin Jace and seeing Grandpa Steve. Mavi also cozied right up to Cari (I think he actually ignored me when she was around) and loved being chased around by Doug. Keenan is now doing tons of stuff! Rolling over both ways, scooting (this kid is going to crawl any day now) and getting a tooth-on top-instead of middle bottom. Maveric is enjoying summer for the most part and his vocabulary is growing daily. He actually found a worm today and I almost had a heart attack after he brought it over to me. I HATE worms. He kept saying wo-orm, wo-orm all day long. So cute. So that's it for now. I promise to do at least once a week for a while. Take care! Remember to buy from the ice cream truck- it's summer!
