We have had a busy few weeks since my last post so there are a lot of pictures to show off. 

Taedon took some friends to CostCo the other day.

Big brother shared a toy.  I always walk into the largest trucks being shared while Kyan is in his walker.  Kyan loves it.

Taedon had his cousin Davawn over for a play day and he spent the night.  The boys had a blast playing together.

Little brother watching all of the fun waiting for the day he can join.

For the 4th of July we went to Virginia Beach to see friends.  It was a great few days of fun for kids and adults alike.

My first 4th.

                                                                                               

                                              Taedon and Audrey cruising around in her car.                                                                                                             

We went to the beach the last day we were there to take Kyan to see the ocean for the first time.  Again, fun was had by all.

Kyan loved the water.  He and I sat in it and he splashed for quite awhile while big brother and dad buried each other in the sand.

Back at home, it was business as usual.  Kyan and Niko had a staring contest.

Kyan won.

My sister, mom and niece came for a visit.  We tried very hard to do a photo shoot with all three kids.  Here is one of the best shots we got.  Hair was pulled, tears were shed, cute individual pictures were gotten but not many where all three were even in the same frame.  So enjoy our masterpiece.

Rylan loved taking care of Kyan.  She was always there to help him with his pacifier.  It was fun to watch since they are about the same size even though she is about ten months older than him.

I found a nearby park that has a huge play ground, a train and a carousel.  It was a great afternoon even though it was super hot outside.  Taedon was beyond excited about the train.

Waiting in line for the train to arrive.

On the train.  Taedon got all excited when it started moving and the engineer yelled "all aboard!"  He says that every time he hears the train go by our house or when he is playing with trains.  He's slightly obsessed with trains at the moment so this was a real treat for him.  We plan to go back very soon.

Posing with the engine.

He loved the carousel also.  Kyan and I didn't ride so that I could take pictures.  Taedon enjoyed waving to us every time he came around to where we were standing.

A good game of "where's Taedon?"

Kyan showing off his new tooth.  He is currently working on #2.  Teething has been much more painful for Kyan than it was for Taedon.  Poor guy.  

Enjoying some alone time while brother naps.

He is obsessed with trying to walk in my rain boots.  It's quite funny to watch him try.

Studying already.

Helping mom fold and stuff diapers.

Enjoying some homemade chocolate ice cream.

He can almost sit.  He will do it for a few seconds before he falls over so the boppy once again is coming in handy.  Every time he is laying on his back he tries to sit up.  The kid has abs of steel right now.
