Noah at 5 months...

this happy baby...

smiles ALL the time,

his giggles make my heart melt and his adorable dimples,

loves the swing and exersaucer,

takes three naps a day and sleeps 9-10 hrs at night,

has been trying to cut a tooth for 6 weeks now and is always chewing on his fingers,

weighs 15 lbs (25%) and is 24 inches tall (3%),

can roll over, but hates his tummy,

almost sitting up, holds toys, and tries to grab my fork when I eat,

is loved by a big sister and brother and mauled constantly,

talks himself (loudly) to sleep,

we love this kid!

USS Midway

We stopped at a naval aircraft carrier the USS Midway in San Diego, which was made into a museum. It was commissioned in 1945 and decommissioned in 1995.

It went through two wars the Korean and Vietnam.

There were many veterans on board as tour guides.

My favorite part was the infirmary (big shock) but I didn't take any pics of it!

My kids liked seeing all the planes, especially on deck where they would take off and land.

Gavin liked the guns on the outside of the helicopter.

On deck where the jets would take off and land

Inside the cockpit of one of the planes

Noah, happy as a clam as always.

Brooklyn sitting on a seat that could eject out of the plane if necessary.

The HUGE chain that went to the anchor of the ship.

Let's go fly a kite...

This was the most effortless kite flying I have ever done,

literally you just let out the string and up it flies as high is you let it!

We had a pretty cute ladybug kite too!

Oside beach

We spent a week in Oceanside earlier this month.

Our condo was right by the beach, so we went there at least once a day.

Unlimited sand + unlimited water= unlimited FUN!

Noah nodded off in the bumbo..

Brooklyn taking the boogie board out!

Sweet Noah, snoozing away the afternoon.

Catching sand crabs...

Our little mermaid :)

Seashells..

Lots of digging..

Kids Summer Pics

We went to Oceanside, California this past week and I had to take advantage of the change of scenery and snap a few pics of the kiddos...

love these kids...
