My funny boy....

Easton is always saying something off the wall to make us laugh. These are my two favorites of the week so far:

Easton: "Mom, where are we going?"

Me: "We're going to Goodwill to drop some stuff off."

Easton: "Who is Old Will?"

Easton: "Dad quacks me up."

Me: "How does he do that?"

Easton: "When he makes me laugh. That's how he quacks me."

Daddy's girl. Sort of...

I assumed when I had Finley she would be a Daddy's girl. I mean, Easton is clearly a Mama's boy (not that he's not best buds with his Daddy) so I figured Finley would be Matt's lil' lady.....

Enter Miss Finley Claire....

For the first 2 months of her life she wanted ONLY me. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest. Matt got to hold her maybe a total of an hour over the first couple months. Actually, she didn't let anyone hold her for long. We started lovingly calling her my stalker. That's why this picture (taken when she was 6 weeks) is so special and rare. She is finally starting to warm up to the idea that maybe, just maybe her Daddy can soothe her too. She lights up when she sees him and giggles when she thinks he's being silly.

More Swimming...

Okay, Okay, Okay...I realize these blog entries are not given with as much commentary as I would normally prefer but geez, oh pete! I still have 3 months of pics to post!!!

Anyhoo...Here's some more swimming pics...These are a few to sum up our time spent at the Goebel's community pool this summer. We spent ALOT of time there...Especially while we were both prego, "Rockin' it Big Belly Style!!" in our bikinis :) This is the pool where some kids slapped Jamie's belly and asked if there was a baby in there...they were nicknamed "the belly slappers." This is the pool where we saw just how lazy some parents can be...We bring snacks for OUR kids, we play with OUR kids, we don't read books while our kids are swimming while other peoples husbands are giving YOUR kid a ride on their back in the pool....poor Matt....what's he supposed to say to the little girl who wants a ride on his back after all the kids in our group got one?? Jamie & I wanted to grab her Mom's book from her hands and smack her upside the head with it!! I guess thats just what one should expect at a community pool. I'll now get off my soapbox... Easton

Sing it...

So Easton is making Finley crack up right now.
How, you might ask?
He's singing to her....And it goes a lil' somethin' like this:
"My name is Booty. Boot. Boot Ba-Baooty!"
"My name is Boobie. Boob. Boob Ba-Boobie!"

Love these crazy kids!

Peeps' Girl...

1st Angels game...

There are two things Easton will have no choice in...He will have to be a Chargers Fan and an Angels Fan! Matt was so excited to share this experience with Easton. It's the first of many to come.

Hanging Out...

Love you Skinny Finnie!

A Great Love...

Finley with her Great-Grandma or Baumie as she's lovingly known to everyone. You will never meet a more loving, sweet person than Baumie.

And Miss Gracie Mae...She is such a little mommy. She was so excited to hold Finnie. It seems like not that long ago she was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Easton. She adores both of the kids and they equally can't get enough of her.
