A New Chapter

Celebrating the 4th of July comes with patriotic cookies!

Aunt Tammy, Grandpa & Grandma Bowman, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Leigh all joined us for the Arlington Heights parade. This is Nick's second year going and about Dads 25th.

Nick being funny, those are his wobbies under his hat.

We didn't stay for the Bolingbrook Fireworks but the kids did get to color. Nick has really advanced in just a few weeks. He knows he should color inside the lines now. Sure the crayon goes everywhere but its concentrated in the area.

Here begins the new chapter in Nicks life. Since he kept climbing out of his crib we felt he was ready for a big boy bed.
Here is our "apise"= surprise for him.

Nick's new bed at 8:45 in a near pitch black room. (long photo exposure)
He got it yesterday, it took him 1 hour and 45 minutes to fall asleep. This included a few trips back and forth from the crib to the new bed. When we woke his morning h was at the end of the bed on his stomach with his feet hanging off.
