Lily ready to go swimming. She loved to splash but didn't like being in the water.

The boys decided to cuddle after taking a bath the other day.

Austin and his wormy.



Our upcoming addition. We'll be getting our puppy soon and it came over for a visit. We can't decide on a name so we're taking suggestions (it's a boy). Since it's going to be a hunting dog short names are best. Just leave them in the comment box.

Fishing

Last night we took a quick trip up to Steinaker Resevoir for some fishing. We had a lot of fun cathing the bluegill and one small mouth bass. We haven't done much but trout fishing since we've moved here and Sivai has never caught anything but trout. When he reeled in the first fish he was surprised and said, "hey, that's not a trout! I want to catch a trout." Austin was more interested in the snakes (worms) we were fishing with. He dumped out all the dirt and put them all back in the tub and played with them the whole time, they were half dead by the time we left. I also discovered I cannot have Lily in the sling while trying to feed her and string a worm on a hook at the same time, but it was fun to try. Sorry no pictures, but with all the luck we had I'm sure we will be back soon.

Sivai's Quotes

While watching The Little Mermaid,
"Mom, I don't like that girls attitude. It's just not good. I'll never do that to my parents because I love you so much."

Examining mosquito bites,
mom: "Look at all the bumps from your' mosquito bites."
Sivai: "Mom, they're not bumps. Don't you know, they're called polyps, polyps Mom, not bumps."

Trying to con me into watching a movie,
"Mom, can I watch just half a movie? just half? I can't get Robin Hood off my eyes. I just can't!"

Our neighbor accross the street has a Harley Davidson, while getting in the car one day while he was idling Sivai said,

"Mom, motorcycles are loud because they have combustion engines."

6th month checkup

I finally got around to Lily's 6 month check, a month late. She weighed in at 17 lbs 7 oz., about 50th percentile, and was 29 1/4 inches, 100th percentile. She's learning to crawl now and even pulls herself up to her knees along furniture and walls. She is a very good eater, with her only dislike so far being corn. She is always happy, if she can see me, and loves her big brothers.

We all had a fun time talking and playing with the kids and babies. Renee put together a fun craft for the girls and we were all so busy talking, cooking and taking care of little ones we hardly had time. We all wished for more time together and missed all the families that couldn't make it.

Up, up and away!

Lily has figured out how to get up on her hands and knees! I'm sure it's only a matter of time before she's crawling so fast I can't keep up with her.
