Gavin turns 3 months old!

Gavin is now three months old! We took him to his check-up last week and he was 15 lbs. and 25-1/2 inches tall. He is still loving to roll over and is now "standing" up on his legs a lot more and getting stronger. We are having a great time watching him grow and change ;)











Picnic in the Park

We had a fun time yesterday with our picnic in the park. We are trying to soak up the beautiful weather when we get it here. This weekend was perfect and hopefully summer is not quite over yet! Not ready for the yucky Frankfurt winter just yet...























































































Strasbourg France Trip

We had a great trip to Strasbourg France this weekend. The weather was beautiful and the town was as well. Here are pics of the cathedral and of us checking out the town. Landon's favorite part...the carousel and ice cream of course!!

Our Little Monkeys!!

Here are some of the latest pics of the boys. Gavin is enjoying practicing his rolling skills every chance he can and he is also working on his thumb-sucking skills as well. In the last couple of days he has been able to get a hold of it pretty well. Looks like both of our boys are going to be thumb suckers! Neither of them wanted anything to do with a pacifier. The thumb is nice because they always have it and it helps soothe them...but the problem in the long run is that they always have it and you can't take it away ;) Oh well, we will just hope they stop on their own when they are a bit older-fingers crossed!

We got a roller!!!!!!!!!!

Today was a big day for our little Gavin...he rolled over from his back to his belly!! By tonight he was getting so good at it he wouldn't stay on his back at all! He loved practicing his new skill. He is also laughing and giggling a lot more. He especially likes to giggle when we bounce him up and down, do row row row your boat, and when we zipper up his sleeper! Love to hear those giggles ;)







Our little dudes...

It has been a busy week of playdates and playground time. Landon is trying to soak up a lot of time with his best buddy Sam who is moving back to DC next month. Landon is back to his regular good sleeping habits again after we finally got our crib tent in the mail. He no longer can get out of his crib and is back to sleeping through the night again. It appears he just wasn't ready to be out of the crib yet and the tent makes sure he can't climb out and hurt himself. So it is all good again, for now;)

Here are some pics of us just from the week and hanging out. Gavin is outgrowing his clothes so fast I usually put him in outfit and make sure I get a picture because I know he won't be able to wear it twice. That is the problem with just too many cute clothes!! He is also moving into size 3 diapers this week already. It is crazy how fast he is growing!!















































































Grandparent Fun!!

Well Landon and Gavin sure had a great time with Grandma & Grandpa Russell while they were visiting. Here are a couple of pics of the boys hanging out with the grandparents before they left to head back home. Landon sure misses his choo-choo playing partners and Gavin misses all of the holding (while standing up only of course!)
