Coincidence

Kevin, in the same outfit that I took photos of Nick in when he was this age, and it was just a coincidence. Kevin is sleeping pretty good on his belly in the pack-n-play in our room. He wakes up too often still to have the boys share a room. Also, he sleeps on his belly because like a crab, they don't like to be on their back. As soon as you put him on his back, he'll grab his toes and roll over. 
He smiles often and when nobody's looking, he is talking in his own language.
I might have said this before but a big relief is changing Kevin's his diaper. Nick hated it and would cry, kick, and roll over, Kevin just lays there and smiles back at you.

Nick has had some trouble with potty training lately. We are trying to get him back on the right track. He doesn't mind wet underwear.

3 Years Old!

So much went on this past weekend that I don't have enough time to show it all. 
Thursday, Daddy took Nick and Kevin to the zoo. We had a real good time seeing all of the animals and it's a great way to wear Nick out. 

 The day before Nick's 3rd birthday the four of us ran a race. The Dads, a 5k, the kids ran a 100 yard dash.
Technically Nick was still 2, but we put him in the 3-4 race so he could race Max. When they said go, Nick didn't go. So he raced with his age bracket. Below is the result. There is a reason he calls himself "Dash" from movie "The Incredibles".
 
 Sorry for the shaky camera, I was excited.

 There were birthday celebrations at the Bowman's, Nick's theme this year was Superman. He also received another Superman cake at the Polzin's on Sunday/Mother's day, but Dad doesn't have any photos from that day, just video. Overall it was a great birthday weekend for a 3 year old.

PS. I can't believe I've been doing this for 3 years...

Those are Nicks new shoes on the far right ;), we call them his running shoes. He sure has some big feet! This Sunday is Nick's 3rd birthday, the day before, he is running his first race. A 100 yard dash.

Birthday Surprise and Another Month Older

This past weekend we dropped off Kevin to Uncle Todd & Aunt Amanda's for the day/night. The rest of us headed out to "play in the water" as we told Nick. We arrived at Kalahari Water Park in the Dells, we bent down to his level and told him that this was his birthday present from us. A great big "Thank you Mommy Daddy" said Nick, and he gave us a double hug. The next 24 hours he had the time of his life. I We can't wait to go back again.
We were able to capture a few moments.
He loved getting tossed and turned around on the slides.

Kevin has really developed his grabbing skills this week.

This past week he also found his feet, which has lead to more rolling over.

Kevin is 4 months old today. Nick will be 3 years old next week.

Mr. laughing and smiles...has been up at 5am every day this week.
