Where does the time go...

It's hard to believe it is already June. I know I always say it but I just don't know where the days go. It seems like just yesterday we were taking Shayna to the swimming pool for the first time and Jonah was 'barely" a thought. Now here we are a year later and we have so many wonderful things to be thankful for.

Shayna is growing up way too fast for us these days. She now wears big girl underwear and is going pee pee and poo poo on the potty pretty regularly, even when we're out!! She loves to talk and tell everyone about her pee pee and poo poo and is so proud of herself. Yeah :) I still can't believe she's actually got the hang of it....definitely beats changing her diapers!!! Shayna is also now sleeping in her "big" girl bed. No more crib. The transition was painless, it was like she was waiting for us to take off the railing. She loves her "new" bed and still stays in it until we go in to get her, it's so cute.

Our little boy is going to be 4 months old this week!!! He is starting to become such a person and he's so much fun. He's very very happy -- yeah :) He loves to laugh and smile. When he's not screaming to eat, he's very content watching everyone and everything around him. He can be very calm and mellow and just likes to hang out. He's also very determined and will not give up once he wants something. He just started rolling over and gives it his all, grunting and pushing around with his head,it's so cute. He loves to chat away and talks and talks to anyone listening.

We are having such a great time with the two of them. They just opened the pools here and you'd think Shayna has been swimming forever. She gets into the pool like she's a pro. Not even a second thought...knowing Shayna she might be swimming by the end of summer, our no fear kid! Jonah has taken a few dips in the pool and as usual not a peep...just hanging out enjoying being around everyone.

Daddy is doing great and slowly but surely we are seeing things turn around. He's starting on his second house this month and has some great potential homes to build as well --- yeah daddy we're so proud of him.

We look forward to a great summer and visits to and from family soon!!

And in case you were wondering, still not 1 bird has shown interest in our bird feeder :( i'm NOT giving up hope!!
