Summer Happenings

We haven't been great about taking pictures this summer, but we managed to snap some of our favorite summer traditions: Bix weekend and the cabin!

The Hair that Can't Be Tamed

Grayson is three and a half months old, and we love so much about this little guy--especially his crazy hair! No matter how hard we try, we can't get his hair to do anything but stand straight up in the air. Some other things about Grayson at this age: he smiles, he laughs (for Isaac, especially!), he reaches for toys, he sits up as best as he can, and boy, does he eat!

Crazy Hair II

Loves these toys...just frustrated he can't put them in his mouth!

Doesn't mind tummy time as long as he's on the Boppy!

Gotta love drool :)



Still has those dimples!



Our Big Four-Year-Olds

Happy 4th birthday, Isaac and Audrey! We are so proud of you two--you're growing up so fast!

Thank you to everyone who came out to help us celebrate this weekend.

Two Months Old

I can't believe how time flies--Grayson is two months old already. He is such a sweet little guy and we love him so much! He still likes to be held and cuddled when he's tired, but otherwise he prefers to be able to see everything and everyone. He loves to kick, smiles a lot, makes lots of baby noises, and tries so hard to talk! He had his two-month check-up today, weighing in at 13 lbs. 13 oz and 23 3/4" long. Big and healthy!

Here are some pictures of his first couple of months of life:

Welcome to the World, Baby Grayson!

What started as a lazy Sunday morning quickly turned to chaos when Baby Grayson decided he couldn't wait one more day and wanted to be a Cinco de Mayo baby. We hurried the kids out the door without breakfast and made it to the hospital by 9:00am. Roughly two and half hours later, Grayson Gunnar Macumber was brought into the world. Thank goodness for Mom, the surgery went off without a hitch and she quickly started on the road to recover.

Grayson Gunnar Macumber
Date of Birth: 5/5/2013
Time of Birth: 11:37am
Weight: 8 lbs 15 oz
Lengths: 20 inches
Messy Diapers: 5 (as of 9pm on 5/5/2013)

Table Talk

I need to do a better job of recording the great three-year-old conversations between Audrey and Isaac. The things they discuss just crack us up! A lot of these conversations occur at the breakfast table because it's just the two of them sitting there (Ryan and I are usually busy getting ready for the day).

This morning's conversation:
Audrey: "I am bigger than you, Isaac."
Isaac: "But I am stronger than you, Audrey. I can do handstands!"
Audrey: "Yes, but I can do somersaults."
Isaac: "That's true...that does make you strong, but I am still stronger!"

FYI: The only "fact" in this whole conversation is that Audrey really can do somersaults. :)

I'm going to try and write down more of these conversations. They are hilarious!
