Adam wanted me to post one more swim video. The back floats are awesome (quoted from Adam)

photos
Here are a few random photos. The summer is almost over, as is my maternity leave (3 weeks left). The other day Adam commented 'where did the summer go?!' I said, we had a baby.....
Playing at the YMCA in the pool. We like to come every Sunday after church. Brennan took lessons 2x a week for 9 weeks, and he will take more again starting the second week of Sept, but only one day during the week.
He got a tattoo from the library. I volunteered there for the 2nd summer. I help kids record their reading for the Summer Reading program. For 2 hours a week on Saturdays, it's nice to have some quiet time and help someone out. When I put this tattoo on him, the hardest part for him was to hold still for the minute that I had to keep the towel on his hand. It was pure torture for him. You'd have thought I was hurting him or something.
More tattoos. Here he is 'working at the desk' in the drop off day care at the YMCA. They have stamps for the kids in the drawer, and he was loading up on them, as well as dragging his fingers over the red ink pad...
Can't leave Quinn out. She's doing fine, growing and growing. She had her 2 month check last week, is 11.5 lbs. Not sleeping through the night, but I guess that's relatively speaking.... if I'd go to bed when she does, we'd both get at about 8 hrs of sleep during the night. The last few nights she'll eat at 6:30, in bed by 7, and sleep until 2:30. But when do I go to bed...9 or 10.
Looks like she has a black eye, her right eye, but that's not the case. We were on a walk and the mosquitoes got her. She looks better today.

He loves the abcs. He enjoys playing in the tub with the letters, and wants to show me his masterpiece each time if I'm not in the bathroom with him. He'll tell me to go get the camera. And lately he likes looking at the back of the camera, at the video or photo, and calls that 'looking at the front side.'
more swimming
The last post was about swimming, and here is another one. I needed to post this though, because his swimming has taken off. He was jumping alone, and very horizontal in the water, using his arms and legs at the same time. Great job!

Swim clips
Today was the last day of Tues swim lessons for the summer. We are also taking lessons on Thurs. The first clip is of a blast off. You push off on your front or back and (try to) continue floating. With the intro of the blast off, he is way more comfortable on his back. The next clip is of jumping. I was trying to get him to do more tricks, but he just wanted to spin.

fresh photos
Here are some fresh photos of the kids.
Brennan likes the alphabet; singing it, looking at books with letters and playing with his letters in the tub. Here is his masterpiece!
Quinn relaxing with dad. Some of the newborn things are so cute, I'm having a hard time giving this one up, so I let her feet stick out the bottom.
Life is rough being 6 weeks old.....
Playing under the baby einstein. Whenever it comes out, Brennan always has to jump under it. And he usually has a big truck that he wants to drive under it too. I'm glad that he loves his baby sister, but sometimes he's just not as gentle as we'd like him to be.
We met up with my friend Jackie. It's always fun to see people that don't have kids hold kids- they tend to want to give them back as soon as they make a peep. (I will not deny it, I too was one of those people that wouldn't touch a baby, and had to give it back right away)
