Brycen 4 months, Brooklyn 34 months




It is nice to be able to be home with the kids. Tom is home now for the summer and it makes it even more fun when you can spend a little individual time with each of them. I was able to take Brooklyn swimming a few days ago. She loves the water. Once I got in I took her floaties off and she could swim under the water about 10 feet. She is not afraid and will try anything. She will start preschool in the fall, she is so excited.
Brycen is 4 months now. He has been rolling over back to belly all of the time. He used to be able to roll belly to back but he seems to have forgotten how. He is always very smiley and is laughing and squealing at us. He loves to watch Brooklyn run around the house. Loves to grab at everything and put everything in his mouth. He is sleeping pretty good, wakes up once to eat and maybe two other times for his binky... bad habit I guess to give it to him, but eventually he will be able to find it himself. He still sleeps swaddled, but this will soon end as soon as he can roll in the blanket. He does such a good job falling asleep on his own, I can lay him down wide awake and he will be asleep within minutes without a peep. He is still eating every 3 hours during the day, but will go 7-8 hours at night, usually down by 8:30 and wakes around 3:30 then back down till 6. He is on a pretty good routine, wakes at 6, nap around 8:30 or 9 for an hour and a half, down again around 12:30 for 2-2 and half hours and then another hour-hour and a half around 5. The doctor said we could start some solids but I think we may wait a while, we will see though.
