sandbox from Grandpa

"Thank you" to Kurt's Grandpa Erickson for spending his time and money on this special sandbox.  :)

I'm WAY behind on blogging so as of today I'm going to start posting photos of what we've been up to beginning with where I left off... which was back in May.  My apologies for the long delay!  Enjoy!  :)

a fresh haircut + watercolors

The other night, I needed to cook supper so I sat Kurt at the kitchen table with some watercolors.  I turned around and saw what my little boy had been up to.  It quickly went from mischievous laughter to outright "get this paint off of me" crying.  He's NEVER done this before!  I'm glad I snapped some photos to share.  :)

photos from Mother's Day

Don't you know that Mother's Day is everyday?!  Ha!  :)  I'm obviously late posting these photos, but I was enjoying my babies - still am.  But, I thought you all would like to enjoy them too so here they are!  Isn't it nice how both Kurt and Natalie were looking at the camera, staying nice and still, and smiling?  I'm joking.  It was more like taking photos of a wrestling match, but no one got hurt and we were all giggling.  And, yes we play with Easter eggs on other holidays too.  :)

our little sunshine // six months

At six months, she's developed the cutest rolls that we can't help but squeeze!  We love her chubby look so much that we aren't ready for her to stretch out just yet.  Although, we're well aware that these days may be short because she's hitting all her milestone quite rapidly.  At just just over five months Natalie rolled from her tummy to her back.  Then at six months on the button she rolled from her back to her tummy.  Now, just this past weekend, she's sitting up on her own!  She much prefers to stand and can jump like it's nobody's business.  It's adorable.  And despite her two bottom teeth cutting through over the weekend, she was happy as a clam.  She's our little sunshine and we are so in love with her!
