I have been TERRIBLE at actually going through my real camera pictures, doing something with them, and posting them. Here are some more recent pictures. I still have Carter's 2nd birthday pictures to go through.... that's how behind I am.
Carter loves to swim. This kid is a fish. He just got this new "life jacket" last weekend. It goes around his chest and on his arms and he LOVES it. It gives him the freedom to swim on his own without an adult holding on to him. Which, obviously, Mr Independent loves! We were shocked how quickly he caught on to swimming like this. He had this life jacket on no more than 5 minutes and he was jumping off the side into Dad's arms and then swimming around the pool on his own. Crazy! He even started jumping in from the steps all on his own. He'd go under a bit, pop back up and repeat. All the while smiling this crazy huge smile. He had a blast!

These swimming picture are from his first time in the pool this summer. The water was freezing and Papa gave Carter the nickname of Polar Bear because he didn't care how cold the water was, he wanted to swim! Papa braved the frigid temps too to indulge the Polar Bear.

Some Mymy pictures. Oh this little girl. She has captured my heart in ways I didn't know possible. Her eyes. This girl has the most amazing blue eyes. At her well baby check last week every single person we encountered at the doctor's office commented on her blue eyes. At 5 months old she is 16.5 lbs (76%) and 26.25 inches (90%). Doctor said she's "long and skinny with big brains" which means that she also got the Van Thiel head.
Mya tried her first food the other day. Bananas. She wasn't impressed. The other night at dinner she was eyeing up the buns so we gave her a chunk. She was in heaven with her chunk of bread!
