Sleeping Like A Baby

Oh to sleep like a baby...who thought of that saying, baby's don't sleep well.  They are up multiple times at night...I guess it is just because they look so peaceful when they finally are sleeping.  Like this munchkin.  Love him!

And some more photos...

A quick stop on our way home...

4th of July

Yesterday we drove to LA to spend some time with Brad's Uncle Joel and family.  Nana and Grampapa came along also, so that worked out great because each kid got some grandparent time in their car (they  have an extra car seat in there).  We had a great time and the kids especially enjoyed the trip.  We were just getting into Bakersfield, on the way home, when the fireworks shows started.  Calvin was in our car and we were telling him where to look to see the fireworks...he saw them and was overjoyed (I'm not underestimating the emotion) at the pretty colors in the sky.  It was the highlight of his night.  He kept exclaiming with joy, "I see them, I see the fireworks!"  At one point he said, "the plop, plop, plop in the sky".  On our street he got to see some of our neighbor's fireworks and he was so excited.  And then just for fun we went and sat on our back patio to watch more fireworks being set off.  Mia, on the other hand, was not very excited about the fireworks...even possibly, slightly hesitant to like them.  But once we were home and talking about it...seeing that it was ok, she warmed up to it.  She definitely was not enthusiastic, like Calvin, but at least she wasn't scared of them.  Asher didn't really have an opinion...we'll give him another year to figure it out. 

Happy Five Months Asher!

Where has the time gone?  Asher is becoming more alert and more mobile these days.  In addition to being able to roll both ways, he can now push with his back legs to move himself forward to get places and things.  He has much more interest in the toys that are around him and he can get to them and grab them really easily.  He is also beginning to show interest in the food that we are eating, but I'm not quite ready for him to start solids yet...my plan is to wait until he's at least 6 months before we venture down that road.  Here is our handsome little man.
