1st time costume

Alexander and Jaxon LOVE to dress up in costumes.  Last week they were both nice enough to let their baby brother wear their costumes.  They had to take them off of their stuffed animals from build a bear.  The costumes fit perfectly and Dayne seemed to enjoy being a Karate baby and Spiderman.  

Poppy, Poppi

When Alexander's teacher asked him what kind of seed he would chose to be if he were a seed he answered, "A poppy seed." 

The poppy is his birthday flower, the flower of August.  It is also what he calls Jason's dad, Poppi.  

So when Mema had Poppy flowers growing in her backyard we just had to take a picture.

A secret

Jaxon, "Dayne, I have a secret."

"I am going to eat your hand!"

A better canvas

The boys wanted to paint.  I gave them paper and a big box to paint outside.  They were doing such great work on the box.  I am not sure if they became bored of the box or just decided the windows on our home would be a better canvas.  Alexander thought he would paint their names on the windows, just so everyone would know who lived inside.  It is a good thing we only have washable paint!

Big Dayne at 3 months

Today was the first day we put Dayne in the exer-saucer.  He loves being in the standing position and has been quick to protest laying down.  So we thought we would give the exer-saucer a try.  He loved it!  His brothers were very helpful if showing how all the toys worked. Dayne's arms are too small to reach the toys so it helps to have brothers willing to help him play.  He is growing fast, it won't be long until he can reach on his own.   

The Duck Whisperer

We took the boys to the park for lunch last week.  Alexander found 3 little ducks next to the pond.  They were very friendly ducks.  They came right up to Alex and were actually eating right out of his hand.
