Finally, I can play!!!!

Here's Nathan taking the first trip up the ladder to slide.  Bless his heart, he was so patient all day waiting for this moment.

And here he goes...

A happy boy on his slide :)

Yeah, I'd say he likes it :)

Swinging

Connor likes his new swing!

Nathan in his big boy swing.  Lots of fun!

The finished product!

It's finished!  Well, almost.  It was missing the tarp for the roof, so I'll be calling them today to get one sent to us.

Standing up!

That's right, Connor was sitting on this little chair and decided he wanted to stand up.  So he did!

Connor playing

Happy baby!

Connor's working on his yoga here.  I believe this pose is "downward facing dog."

A lovely day with family

Blowing bubbles at Gran and Papaws.  Notice the tongue out with concentration. :)

Now THIS is how you blow bubbles! 

Hanging out with Daddy 

 Not in the mood for a picture...

What a look

Another afternoon in the pool...

Another afternoon spent in the pool.  I think a lot of our afternoons this summer will look like this. :) (that's Evie in the background)

I wasn't sure we were going to be able to make this work with the new pool.  Letting some air out of the top ring seemed to do the trick!

Hanging out by the pool with Mommy

A new pool!

So we upgraded our blow up pool this year.  I got a bigger one since Nathan was starting to outgrow his at the end of last summer.  So, we got it blown up and tried it out today.  Lots of fun!

Nathan, checking out the new pool

So much fun! 

And Mommy too...

 I tried to get Nathan to sit with us in this picture too.  He, however, wanted nothing to do with it. :) 

Brothers

Having a blast!

Connor

Connor really enjoyed playing in the pool today too. (That would be my leg he's holding onto.  He's still a little tipsy when he sits!)

Connor pushing up

Connor pushed up on all fours for the first time today!  Big boy :)

He looks like he's ready to take off already!

Hands and Teeth

We sent him in the bathroom to wash his hands.  Nathan thought he'd brush his teeth while he was there too.

Playing

Connor playing on Nathan's floor.

I can't take a picture of Connor without big brother getting into it pretty quickly! :)
