Mark gets his 1st haircut

We decided recently that it was time for Mark to get his first haircut. So, we sat him down in the Bumbo chair and cranked up the clippers and gave him the family haircut (for males in the family). Arthur got a haircut too, but we didn't record that. After their haircuts, they shared a bath for the first time and seemed to enjoy it. It was a night of firsts...

We were in Glen Arbor last weekend for our annual Sherwood family trip. Many thanks to the Schwartz's for letting us use their cabin once again. We had a great time despite temps in the 90s. I hope you enjoy the pics.

Arthur plays in his new pool

Here's a video of Arthur playing in his new pool. It has been a long summer already with many days over 90 degrees and we have had about 2 drops of rain since June started. So Arthur really likes his new pool. Of course, Mark and Jessie also make an appearance here - they're 8 months old! Still no crawling but Jessie seems close. Until next time...

Here's a few shots of our fun on Independence Day in Tekonsha, a Sherwood family photo, and a walk on the UM Diag....(yes, I stepped on the M...I always do).

Tummy time for Mark & Jessie

Here's some video of Mark & Jessie getting some tummy time in front of the mirror and sitting up in their Bumbo chair. Not much to report other than Mark is now 14.5 pounds and Jessie is a little over 13. They are both now on the normal growth chart (although in the bottom 5 percent). And Arthur has grown half an inch since his birthday in January, and he is quite accomplished on his balance bike. So long.

Sunday at the pool, Chuckie Cheese & fun with the mirror

We spent some time today at Buhr Park pool with Sammy & his parents. Last weekend we went to Chuckie Cheese. And I had a happy hour beer with all the kidlets.
