Beach Time!

We went to the beach last month and I am finally getting around to blogging about it. We had a lot of fun, Aspyn especially, but decided we probably won't go again this year. Too much work when you have a baby with you. But since we will be here for another 4 years and the beach is only about 45 minutes away I am sure we will have plenty of other times to go. Here are a few pictures that we took that day.

4 Months!!

Anya is 4 1/2 months and is growing so much. It's amazing how they change so much so fast. She has started on solids and is slowing starting to enjoy them. Here are the pictures I took of her at 4 months.

Anya's Stats at 4 (and a half) months are:

Height - 23 1/4 (10%)

Weight - 13 lbs 4 oz (50%)

She is a lot shorter than Aspyn ever was and she is our little chunk!

Things she does at 4 months:

She can roll both directions

She loves to scoot around every where and now we found her just about anywhere (especially in her crib)

She has finally started smiling for the camera. I have gotten some really good pictures of her.

She eats solids twice a day

She sleeps forever, she is now sleeping from 10 at night until usually 8 or 9 in the morning. She also takes two really long naps in the morning.

She loves to play with Aspyn. It's great to just be able to leave her on the floor and go and do things and they just play together.

She is a really really good baby, we love her so much!!

4th of July Weekend

I'm back, I was going to post these sooner but I got my wisdom teeth out last week and spent most of my time on the couch watch movies. I am starting to feel better so I thought I would get these on here now.

On the 3rd we went over to Pennsylvania to go to Washington's Crossing and get some fireworks (consisting of sparklers and snaps which are illegal in New Jersey). Washington's Crossing is still closed (I went there back in March with my parents and it wasn't open either) but this cool tower thing was so we went there are walked around, but we didn't think it was worth paying the money to go up it. So we ended up just getting our sparklers and snaps and then we went into Trenton to the capitol. It is the 2nd oldest capitol building that is still in use in the United States today, pretty cool. It was a Saturday and the place was crowded with reporters. We were so close to getting to see the governor give a press conference about a tax thing it got passed before the holiday weekend but they bumped it back an hour and so we ended up not seeing him. Here are our pictures from that adventure.

Then on the 4th after church we drove down to my sisters in Delaware to spend the holiday with them. Aspyn had fun playing with her cousins and we went and saw some fireworks and did our sparklers (which are also illegal in Delaware, we thought it was bad in Utah). We stayed on Monday and just hung out and the kids got the slip-n-slide out which Aspyn was not a fan of but she loved getting wet. We also took some pictures of Anya and her other new cousin Brayden. She is two months older than him. Here are the pictures from that adventure.

On the way home that night we ended up taking the turnpike on accident and ran into the traffic of everyone going back into New York City after the holiday. But it ended up being a good thing because we ran into another firework show close to our house that we wouldn't have gotten to see if we had gone the other way. Here are some of the pictures that I took of the fireworks, we were so close and they were really good.

Then I just had to add these last pictures. We had made homemade Oreos to take with us to my sisters and had made them patriotic with red, white, and blue frosting. Well, we had leftover blue frosting and decided we couldn't waste it. So this is what you do with leftover blue frosting, it doesn't look that appetizing but they were still good.
