Happy birthday dear Miiiiiiiike
Happy birthday to you!!
Congratulations on your birthday!
May God bless you with many more happy years!

Strangely enough, this Monday afternoon finds me with two sleeping children, a folded load of laundry, baking out of the oven and a few moments to post a short update my blog. I sure didn't think that would happen this morning, with Peter definitely letting me know that it is MONDAY and a GRUMPY day. Hopefully his nap will take care of that!
Things are going fairly well here. Peter is loving his little brother and I have to keep a close eye on him that he doesn't smother him with kisses and hugs! Aaron gave us a big surprise last week, rolling over at 6 weeks! He did it three times on Wednesday, which was helped out by being on the couch and rolling toward the dip in between the cushions. So, maybe a fluke. But the next day, he was laying on the floor and rolled from his tummy to his back 6 or 7 times! He hasn't done it since then but he's had a few pretty gassy and unhappy days and perhaps he's just not in the mood. This rolling thing is a bit of a shock to us, as Peter was more than willing to wait a long, long time before trying it. It will be interesting to see the differences in their development!

My Mom and Dad came last week for a visit, and we had our
screen door re-installed at the back entrance. Peter was
incredibly interested in "helping" Opa with his work... things
can take twice as long with a little one around :)

Aaron's hair is much redder than Peter's, especially in natural light

Sitting in the Bumbo for the first time... not quite on his own yet
but getting there! He's growing up so fast!

Whoops, left Aaron's bassinet on the couch one day.
Peter had a lot of fun "sleeping" in it!

What a little goof!
