Fun in June

It's already June! I can't even believe it's actually almost over. Summer break sure flies by!

What a great month we've had here in Roxborough. Duncan turned 9 months old and he is doing very well.  He is 29 inches tall already - that's 75th percentile. Somehow some tall person genes found their way to Duncan. He weighed 18 pounds 5 ounces. Tall and lean this one. Instead of short and lean, or short and stocky. We need variety after all.

Tasting the Signage
 Duncan is rolling all over the place now getting where he wants to go. Tasting everything, laughing at his brothers, dumping out the trash...typical boy stuff I guess. He also is getting his first tooth! So much going on with this guy.

 
This Needs Emptying, Mom

Spencer is also doing well, using more and more words every day. He is very into Star Wars still, and tells me all about the Stormtrooper bicycle that he will someday own. He is quite sure of this fact.

We also had the Cub Scout Rain-gutter Regatta a couple of weekends ago. Logan and Jack both went and we had so much fun! There were about 12 scouts and kids there and probably 300+ water balloons. Needless to say everybody got soaking wet. 

Testing the Boats in the Practice Pond

Last of all, but of course not least we had three celebrations this June. Of course Father's Day happened. Grandma's birthday was the same day! We also have Grandpa's birthday in June so we had a fun dinner and I took a picture of all the Fathers and Sons and Birthday Celebrators.

Happy June Everybody!

Cut Out the Middle Man

I t was snack time at the Christensen house and I decided to use up some leftover cream cheese and salsa and chips (just lying around -I promise!!) Jack, as it turns out is new to the world of dipping. I used some of his crunchies and dipped it in the salsa cheese mix. He seemed to enjoy the flavor of it. I went into the kitchen to fix us both a drink and when I came back out I realized that Jack decided he'd had enough of the middle man and went right into dipping with the tools God gave him! I laughed so hard I had to share it with you! No One's Around to Catch Me... E xcep t Mom and her camera... I guess he thought it was good bean dip! He ate the rest of the bowl!!

7 Weeks Old!

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go! Smile for Daddy! Baby, You Can Drive My Car Well, Little Jack is almost 8 weeks old now.  He has been a busy boy, and we are starting to get into a more regular routine. I think it is good for all involved.  We usually get up about when Daddy does at 5:00.  Sometimes we get another nap after that first meal, but sometimes we don't. And that's OK.   Our new nighttime routine involves bath-time at 7:00 (on bath days) so that he can eat and drift off to sleep and maybe give Mom and Dad an hour before their 9:00 bedtime.   Jack can still usually go 4 hours at night. Sometimes we are unlucky and he gets up every 2 hours.  This is rare now.  Sometimes we are very lucky and  he'll sleep 6 to 8 hours.  Not too often, but it is a taste of things to come.  He is getting really good at holding his head up.  I think he gets bored on some days because you cannot just leave him in his bouncy seat - he cries and cries.  He went into the doctor's last...

Second First: First day of School!

Well, the day finally came. It felt like we waited a long time, but the day arrived quickly nonetheless. The first day of school! Maybe it seemed to come so soon since the kids start school when they are 2 1/2 or 3 now. Guess there's more to learn than when I was a kid, LOL. It was more stressful than I thought to select a school. We visited a few local(ish) schools and finally settled on Holy Cross Lutheran Early Learning Center . It's only 15 minutes away, which is pretty close for where we live. We liked this preschool mainly because of the small size of the classes. And when we took Jack for a tour he seemed the most comfortable. So I guess in the end the choice was pretty simple - I just over worry about things most of the time. So he goes Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 - 12:00. It's an adjustment for all of us, but so far so good. Ready to Leave  That was Jack all ready to go on the first day. Eventually he'll grow into that backpack. B...
