Danny Three Months

Our little squeaky Danny is three months already! Danny loves to be held, and gets pretty fussy when he is left alone. He is sleeping longer stretches now, about 4-5 hours at night which has been a great relief for me. He is also a spitter. He spits ups all the time, but he is getting quite chubby so I don't think weight is problem. He was 9 lbs 9 oz at his 2 month appointment. His hair is coming in thicker, but he is definitely my blondie (not really, but blonde for this family) and his eyes are lighter as well. He can hold his head up quite well, but he sleeps to one side (his right) so he has a flat spot. We are working on getting him to look more left. We love him so and Ben loves him most! He makes sure Danny is tended to when he starts crying and is sure to save a toy for him. I had trouble taking pictures of Danny, because Ben wanted to be in them so bad.

love his toes sticking out. Also, he has a birth mark on his forehead (the red spot that is in every picture)

Silver Falls

Memorial Day weekend we headed to Silver Falls State Park. It just happened to be cold that weekend and so of course I didn't pack warm enough for the boys, but we survived! It was Danny's first trip and he did great. He slept better than I did actually. We hiked about six miles, seeing 8 of the 10 falls. Jamir carried Ben and I carried the backpack and Danny. My knees were killing me by the end, but we felt very accomplished and enjoyed our dinner that night. We even saw some friends from our branch and Ben went to play with Wendy and eat breakfast with them. He cared more about playing than hiking. It was beautiful! The pictures don't show how big the waterfalls actually were. Definitely a gem.

our first stop. We actually saw 9 waterfalls if you count this one. We went to Portland on the way to do some immigration stuff for Jamir.

Ben found a friend on the trail and did not want to leave

The nature play area for kids. It was cute animal education structures made from natural materials

Projects, double stroller and Illinois River

A few pictures to catch up. Ben continues to love Danny too much. Ben loves to ride in the stroller with him, but Danny hates it. Hoping soon he will start to like it, since it's a way for me to exercise and get them out of the house. We've finished a few projects around the house, but they never seem to end!

Thought Dad would appreciate this
