Sunday Funnies

We had a busy weekend, but Sunday proved to be slow and easy-- a perfect match to the overcast skies! Lauren sleptover with her cousin Kaitlyn on Saturday night, following Jonathan's AWESOME glow-in-the-dark monster mini-golf birthday party, so we only had Davis to contend with. He turned 4 months over the weekend, so we started pulling out all the next milestone "gear" for him: highchair (baby cereal time!), bumbo (he's already WAAAY too chunky for it, so don't think he'll get to use it), and the EXERSAUCER. As you can see below, he LOVED it!

He was very wide-eyed at first...it was almost like he was thinking, "But I am standing up and I can't stand up by myself. How does this contraption work?!"

Then he started noticing all the things he could bat at, look at, make sounds with, etc.

"Oooh...look at the pretty baby in the mirror!"

Later that afternoon Lauren returned home, and we returned the favor by watching our niece and nephew for a few hours. Lauren was taking a much-needed nap, so we got some great one-on-one time with both kids!


Jonsthan and Uncle Todd reading about different creatures of the earth. Jonathan is in kindergarten now and super inquisitive. It was really neat to watch Todd in "teacher-mode" with him, asking him probing questions to get him to think and learn! Very cool bonding time for the two guys.

Lauren finally woke up and put on her new "Fishing Dress" that Daddy picked up for her at his favorite store. I think Daddy meant for it to be "Fishing Nightgown"...nonetheless that night she asked him if this means she can go fishing with him now. I could tell he was really pleased that one of his favorite buddies loves to spend time with him too!
