Big Bed for Jimmy

Jimmy is now in a big boy bed.  The original plan was to build the bed with him.  Then we would gradually transition him to using the bed during his nap times.  Instead, he was very excited about his bed there was no adjustment period.  He loves his new bed and sleep that very night in it.  Luckily, it is only a toddler bed and he isn’t even phased when he rolls out of it in the middle of the night.  He rolls quite a bit and throughout the night, we move him back into the bed.  Our little boy is growing up quickly!

3 Months Young

John is three months old — or young!  He loves to cuddle.  If he is being held, he is a happy camper.  He might even skip a feeding, if it means cuddling with Daddy!

Over the past month, Jimmy learned a new trick.  Since he got his new glasses back in March, he learned how to pop his lenses out of the frames.  It is very frustrating, as it is very difficult to find a clear lens.  It takes him only seconds to pop out the lens.  It appears that he only does it when he is bored.  It typically occurs during car rides.  After three pairs of new lenses, we now have a new rule — no glasses in the car.  Fingers crossed that the third time is a charm.

Jim finished up spring semester teaching and is off for the summer.  To kick-off home projects, Angie’s dad and Jim worked on an irrigation project so we wouldn’t have Clarke Lake appear every time it rained.   Thankfully, we also had our littlest helper for this project.  Jimmy was fascinated by the trenches and piles of dirt.  This project took most of May.  We are now at the finish line waiting for the grass to grow.  The rain over the past week proved this project’s success.

This past month the boys celebrated Mother’s day.  Jimmy worked hard on a painting for Mommy.  It included nice stamp art too.  Mom and Grandma spent the day sewing with a joint quilt project.  Daddy cooked delicious crab cakes and watched the boys.  Mommy even got a comfy hammock and has great plans to relax.

We also celebrated Grandpa Brewka’s Birthday, which comes every year when all the leaves are on the trees (or that’s what his mom would tell him).  Dunder even sang ‘Happy Birthday’ by barking along to the chorus.

In other events, Jimmy had a night playing with his cousin’s – Gwen and Liv.  We even pulled out the finger paints and created some art.  Last weekend Mommy and Daddy went on their first date since John was born.  They headed to CPR class, followed by lunch at Iron Hill Brewery.
