Kevin's new jammies.... :)

Weekend was busy...

Nate was in Iowa for a wedding this weekend. Nate was the Best Man so we figured he would be very busy with all the wedding duties, so Kevin & I spent the weekend with Grandmom & Grandpop. We sure missed Dad - especially at Kevin's bath & bedtime.
On Friday afternoon we went to the Chicago Botanic Gardens. It is such a beautiful place & lots of paths to wander so there were many strollers there. Saturday we went shopping & Kevin slept most of the time (sometimes that is not a good thing because then I can buy more shoes!). Nate made it home early this afternoon & we were all glad to see him!!!!




In the rose garden:

Jason & Nate - don't they look great in their tuxedos?

We are all going back to Iowa in a few weeks for a family wedding and look forward to introducing Kevin to lots of family & friends.

Just like Dad...

Finally, Nate was able to have Kevin help with his favorite Sunday activity - paying the bills! Those who know Nate well know that he is very meticulous with this & he hopes to teach Kevin early on.

Friday Fun

Yesterday was our New Mom's Group. We all decided to go out for ice cream & the babies slept most of the time!



Friday night Shari came over for dinner & Kevin joined us on the deck. The first time we wore the sunglasses a few months ago he did not like them. He liked them last night. This is one of those photos we can show to Kevin's future girlfriend some day and have a really good laugh!

3 months old

Kevin was 3 months old on the 4th of July! We went to Grandmom & Grandpop's house for the parade & picnic. He was in bed by the time the fireworks started, maybe he will see them next year. Kevin met Aunt Tanya & Uncle Dave.

Things we learned this month:
-He is very close to a "push-up" during tummy time.
-Kevin is very strong & can grasp his toy rings, and my hair!
-Kevin loves to giggle & laugh on our bed as we get him ready for bath time.

Here are some pictures from 4th of July:

There is park near Grandmom's house so we took Kevin for another try at the swings & Nate gave him a ride on the slide:

Mom's day out

Grandmom was given 4 tickets to the Cubs game today! Grandmom, Grandpop, Uncle Brian & I all went to the game. Nate & Kevin watched for us TV. After the game we all went out for dinner & gave Kevin his first lick of whipped cream.

Picnic

The weather was fabulous this weekend so we took Kevin to the park for a picnic. A friend I met at my new mom's group told me that she put her son in the swing when he was 3 months old so we decided to give it a try with Kevin. He didn't really react, he just seemed confused...
