Bikes and Dresses

This last month Jack went on his first bike ride! I think this summer David and I will be taking the kids out on our bikes more often!!



I have such a girlie girl - I love it. Her favorite activity is playing dress up. Her favorite clothes? Dresses!

Head Banger

The last two weeks have been quite challenging for us. We all had a round of being sick. Jack still can't eat anything too rich, or he throws up. We are sticking to a plain diet for him for now. Also, Jack has started banging his head when frustrated. He's done this in the past with little damage. The other day, Jack didn't want to take a nap. He desperately need to rest, so I put him upstairs and figured I'll let him cry for a bit and see if he falls asleep. While doing this, I heard "bang bang bang". I thought he was kicking the crib with his feet. Well, I was wrong. He was banging his head on the side of the crib. Today he looks like he got the snot beaten out of him. It makes me cry when I really think about it. I tied tshirts all around the outside of his crib in hopes to prevent further damage. I just hope this is a short-lasting phase.


Right after the incident...




The next day. We did take him into the Doc and he is okay. Apparently, the face tends to bruise easily and swell easily. Poor little guy.

If anyone has ever had a child who banged his head - any advice would be appreciated!

First and Last

I can't believe how big Lily got this school year. This is her first day and last day of school pictures.
