3 months old

So Emily is 3 months old today!!! But that's about the only thing we have to celebrate today as we have a house full of sick people. Well, I'm the only one who is OK because I was sick on Saturday! Oliver and Jon are sick today and I'm not too sure about Emily - she may have been the instigator as she kept throwing up all over me a few days ago! Oh joy :) Anyway, enough about all that.

As you can see, young Emily has figured out how to suck her thumb! It's still a bit hit and miss but when she gets it she just loves it. And she looks so cute of course :) And she's still practising the rolling - she can get halfway now!

Oliver has started swimming lessons on Tuesday nights now and so far so good. He's learning some new stuff and getting to wear his new goggles which is so exciting! Of course, they are his "fast goggles". Jon took him to McDonald's afterwards for dinner which is a rare occurrence as he doesn't really eat it but he was eventually persuaded to try his chicken nugget and then scoffed the lot!

On Saturday we went to the Parktacular in St Louis Park. Jennifer and Matt were playing a concert and performing in the parade so we watched Mikayla while they did that. The kids hung out at the playground and then went to the petting zoo that was set up there and fed the animals. Amazingly Oliver was quite into it (he didn't want anything to do with this a few months ago at the zoo).

Yesterday was Father's Day and, despite the sickness, we managed a couple of hours at a local beach which Oliver loved. He was a bit wary of the fish in the lake water to begin with but by the time we had to leave of course he wanted to stay longer!! It was a great place though and I think we'll go back.

Anyway, it's back to the crabby kids for me! Emily is whining at me in her chair because I'm typing this rather than talking to her ;)

Oliver wanted his portrait taken with his honey bear :)

It's not often that Oliver falls asleep in the car these days....

Oliver had so much fun with the playdoh at this playdate
