Here is our two months old little boy.  He is starting to chunk up a little, but he still has skinny little legs.

He is a good baby, only crying when he wakes up out of hunger.  After eating he is usually really smiley and content.  I put him down in his crib when it’s time to nap and he might cry for a little bit, but he is slowly getting better at falling asleep on his own.  I think it’s taking longer for him because we are often going outside with him in the stroller or the baby carrier.  So I’m not being as consistent as I was with the girls.

The girls love on him all the time, they cannot get enough of his sweetness.  Neither can we.

Red Square

This summer has been a very rainy one, so when we finally got a somewhat sunny day we decided to venture out. I have been out to a few places, other than the playgrounds around here, but hadn’t been to Red Square since we have been back. So we packed up the family and headed out. It’s more difficult these days to coordinate around the kids nap times, but we are still learning to just go with the flow.

Inside Goom (ГУМ) they had all these nice flower boxes all the way through the hallways.

And there is a really pretty fountain that Keira was pointing at

Outside in the square, we were enjoying the sunshine

Jellybeans

Violet has taken to drawing on her chalkboard a lot recently. It’s been great for practicing her letters and numbers and for drawing family members. I added the names, so you wouldn’t be confused who is who.

She told me Grandpa is the one with no hair, but I’m not sure why Grandma doesn’t have any hair either.

Happy sisters, for the moment…

The other day, Violet picked out a really cute outfit so I thought I would get a few pictures of her.

Sometimes she complies without an attitude.

This was not that day.

The first picture you can see for yourself.

But it wasn’t so bad that a few jellybeans couldn’t fix.
