Puppy love

Last week North had a few sick days that we spent at home.

He loved getting to spend his days with his dog.

1 year pictures

In addition to taking family pictures for the Milners, the Roxy Studio also recently took North's 1 year photos. They came out amazing! Below are a few of the images Sam shared with us as a preview.

The one below is my favorite!

Dog Park

One of Ender's very favorite things about having moved to Bloomington is the dog park--there's a nice big one in Bloomington that always allows her the opportunity to: meet other dogs, run around in a big patch of grass, hike through the woods, & take a swim. North is a pretty big fan too.

9 teeth


North is now up to 9 teeth. He seems to teeth in spurts. His first 6 came in all at once then we took a long pause. A few weeks ago 3 more came in simultaneously (molars).
We're nearly half way to him having all of his baby teeth.

Spaghetti

Yesterday we had spaghetti for dinner. North is a big fan.

Walking!

I keep meaning to post to the blog and then not finding the time. Tonight I am determined to play a bit of catch up.
Last weekend was a great one. On Thursday Alan accepted a job offer for a position at French Lick Resorts.
Then, Alan and I both had 3 day weekends for the 4th of July holiday meaning that we got lots of family time.
On Thursday night, North finally started taking some steps! He's been walking more and more each day ever since (video coming soon).
Friday we went to Bryan Park pool which North LOVED. Saturday we went to Wonderlab and to Sam & Levi's. Sunday we went to Nana and Grandad's to visit with cousins Connor, Madi, and Claydon. Such a nice few days.
Here are some pictures-

last weekend

Last weekend was a pretty exciting one.
We got to have a sleepover with Lincoln which was great fun for both boys I think.
We went to the zoo (forgot our camera--bought a disposable one but haven't developed it yet), the taste of Bloomington, and for a walk. We also watched a fair amount of SpongeBob SquarePants.
Here are a few photos from the weekend.

Watching SpongeBob. Both boys were mesmerized. For a little while...

There were of course more exciting things around though, like the dog and the desire to smack SpongeBob (which meant smacking our TV screen) that took over every now and again and led to a bit of craziness...

In the car they were great. It was fun having the 2 of them back there. Lincoln played a lot of peek-a-boo with North, which was super cute. They were pretty hilarious back there chattering to one another.

Taste of Bloomington was pretty fun but neither boy is a very adventurous eater yet. Lincoln was a big fan of the french fry selections. North liked seeing all the people.

They were pretty funny in the wagon. They enjoyed seeing cows and horses on our walk.



It was great fun getting to spend some time with Lincoln.

Other random cute/funny pictures from the past 2 weeks.

North and the cat sharing the crib for a cat nap.

North threw up. On Ender. Really gross. and REALLY FUNNY. Poor Ender thought she had been punished for something. She got all guilty looking.

And North and Alan snuggling before bed.
