Rainy Afternoon!

We had a fun/busy morning playing at our friends house, then going Walmart...and of course stayed too long! This led Merritt to take a longer than usual nap, and when he woke up it was raining! Boo! This craft was shared on our MOPS facebook page, so I thought it was the perfect way to spend the afternoon inside! Very fun! :) While he is very good at counting to 10, he is not great with his colors...so anything we can do to learn them better is a winner!

McCoy Everett 3 months!

3 Months old and sweet as can be!!

He has finally turned the corner of having to be held all the time, Hallelujah!!  He loves to lay under his activity mat the most, but enjoys his bumbo seat and swing as well!

He is now sleeping in his crib for naps and bedtime, un-swaddled and in a sleep sack! He doesn't even wake up at night crying for Wubby...I remember Merritt doing this, so it is a welcomed change! He takes a morning nap for an hour or two, times vary and still goes down for an afternoon nap from around 1:00pm to 4:00pm. His bedtime and eating schedule have stayed the same.

He is wearing 3 month, 3-6 month, and 6-9 month clothes depending on the brand and has moved up to size 2 diapers.

Tummy time is still not his fave, but he continues to be very strong and holds his head up really well!

He is starting to like Merritt more and more and usually smiles and laughs at him! He loves to laugh, smile, and coo at The Farmer and I too!

At his 2 month appointment on the 28th, he weighed 14.5 pounds and was 23.5 inches! Almost the same as Merritt! Mommy's big boys :)

We love you to the moon and back Coy-boy!!

and they still look so much alike!!

Ice Chalk!!

I have been wanting to make this ice chalk all summer and finally got around to it today!! It is so easy and super fun!! Here is the link: http://www.readingconfetti.com/2013/05/ice-chalk.html I have also seen chalk paint, which is the exact same thing, just not frozen.

helping me mix it up!!

since he usually tastes everything he helps me with, he thought this should be no exception! Needless to say there was only one lick!! haha! 

adding the food coloring

chilling in the freezer!

such pretty colors!

we broke them all out on the sidewalk and he had a blast (and so did I!!)

McCoy, on the other hand, was not impressed!! :)

"I have the best Mommy EVAR!!" tehehe :)

they melted into a beautiful rainbow!!

Phone Pics Update :)

It's that time again...phone pic dump!! :)

Even on vaycay we need wubby and Cat in the Hat!!

I mean, does it get any cuter than this?!?!

well, I guess it does! ha!

Merritt was so excited to get in Lego Land, JayJay had given him this brochure the night before...

he was obsessed! :)

Big brother thought little brother needed a toy to play with...

not sure why he thought it needed to be on his face?!?!

McCoy pretty much always has "I'm scared to death" eyes, when Merritt is beside him!!

crazy hair!

selfie!!

we got him this engineer hat when we went on the train ride!!

hello!

This was my first shopping trip by myself with both boys! Success!!

locally grown :)

still loving Lone Ranger...I made him a new mask, but it took a while to figure out how to put in on :)

The Lone Ranger!!

sweet corn!!!

he loves it and runs to the table when he knows that it's whats for dinner!

tummy time

shaking his rattle!

Mississippi State Bulldog baby!

On a day date with all my boys, shopping for cattle!! :)

Merritt sharing his sippy, he is such a giver! ha!

looking at the Showbox with Daddy!

Finally got a new straw hat, of course he wanted to wear it the rest of the day while we were shopping!! He has had his old one since he was 3 months old!! Now it fits McCoy!! :)

Hi, I'm cute!!

McCoy started sleeping in his crib on Tuesday for his nap (he was sleeping in his Rock and Play)!! He loved the crib and slept great! I put him in a sleep sack in the crib that night, instead of being swaddled, and he woke up crying several times, he really loved being swaddled, but last night we tried again and he slept all night (9:30 to 8:00)!! Woohoo!
He is growing up and I hate it :(

first time in the Bumbo!! He thinks he's so big! I hate to tell him, he is my baby and is not allowed to be a big boy!!!
