Bath Time!

Big Girl Bed!

Mr. Gunnar kept getting his appendages stuck in between the slats of the port-a-crib because he is so big so it was time to make the switch! Kylee gets a big girl toddler bed and Gunnar now has the crib. 

I'd posted a while back that we put the two older kids together. However, Ms. Kylee was waking up way too early (she normally sleeps in until about 8:30) and she was waking up her brother. So we decided to move her back into her own room again and we moved Gunnar in with Hunter. With all this room sharing, he has become a decently heavy sleeper. This is the best scenario so far and the older two are back to sleeping on their normal schedules and Gunnar also sleeps pretty well for a three-month-old. 

Hopefully Kylee will sleep well even though she'll be able to get out of bed now. We'll see come nap time!

Oh, and yes! That is, indeed, a pillow case with a picture of Gregory and me on it. I made it for him when he was deployed and it's one of the few non-flannel pillow cases we have to use for her. And actually, she loves having "muh-mee" and "dah-dee" on her pillow!

3 Months

I can't believe my sweet guy is three months already!

He is huge! He doesn't fit in some 3-6 month clothing if it's on the smaller side. He's definitely following in his brother's footsteps. 

He is such a joy though. He is so content and so happy. He'll smile and anyone that talks to him. He's my sweet guy. We love him so much!

Independence Day and Blueberry Picking

We had a wonderful Independence Day. Greg was off of work for the day and my mom was in town for the week.

We started our day off by going to the Riverbend parade. Hunter had never been to a parade before, and neither had I! It was definitely a small one, but it was enjoyable. They had WWII veterans in the parade and people applauded them. I love moments like that of our people showing true patriotism and honor for those who had a hand in fighting for our country.

Here's grammy and Gunnar waiting for the parade to start.

 Me and my baby girl.

 After church, we watched the New Bern fireworks. We just happened to park next to some friends of ours when looking for a spot, so it was fun to visit with everyone while we waited for them to start.
This is what flash from a camera does to my pasty white-skinned boy...

I wonder where he gets it from...? (And my silly husband.)

 Here's a better one...

 My goofy Kylee with crazy hair.

The next morning we went blueberry picking with the Friedleins, and WOW it was hot! We got there about 9:30 am and it was already almost 90 degrees! It was a lot of fun though!

At first, Kylee enjoyed letting grammy pick for her.

 Then she got the hang of it herself.

 Hunter had fun too!

After a while, Kylee decided playing in the dirt was more fun.

 I had Gunnar in my Baby Bjorn and we were HOT being so close. We didn't last too long. I had to call it quits a bit early and I got Gunnar in the truck for some A/C. I didn't get any pictures but the older kids enjoyed cooling (and cleaning) off in a spicket before we left! Jenny has pictures of that here.

We left with just under 5 pounds of blueberries, and between my mom, Hunter, Kylee and me, we had them gone the next evening just by munching on them all day! They were so good! Maybe I'll go back and get some that I'll actually bake with. :)
