July 2012!

July started out with a 4th of July celebration at our house!  We enjoyed the pool, good friends and yummy food.  That night we went to Springfield to watch the fireworks.  Raegan wasn't too sure about them!  Mommy and Daddy celebrated their anniversary in MN and went to see Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw in concert at Target Field!  Nana came to stay with the girls and had a fun weekend.  It was a little hard on mommy to leave b/c it was the 1st time she left the girls overnight with anyone.  They did great tho! 

Rowan had more firsts this month including: eating cereal for the 1st time, finding her toes (she LOVES sucking on them) and rolled over...BOTH ways on the same day!  Tummy time isn't so bad anymore.  Mommy is sure enjoying her time off with the girls!

June 2012!

June was a rather busy month! Lots of firsts and exciting events!!! On June 2nd, one of mommy's best friends from when she was little got married...congrats Derek & Maria! It was a beautiful day/wedding :) The following day we took the girls out for their 1st boat ride for the summer. Both of them loved it! The following weekend we took a mini-vacation to Minneapolis! Grandpa & Grandma Brandt and Uncle Max and Aunt Denise met us there for the weekend. Rowan attended her 1st and 2nd Twins games, Raegan enjoyed going on rides with daddy at Mall of America and sunday we visited the Minnesota Zoo (Rowan's 1st time)! It was a fabulous weekend flled with lots of fun and many memories were made!  On June 16thm we had Auntie Kala's Bridal Shower...we are so excited for the wedding when we get to be flowergirls!  We also took a trip to Nana & Papa's house. We enjoyed Storybook land with Nana! This month Rowan found her hands and started to giggle (the day after Father's Day)....so sweet! The last weekend we enjoyed a camping trip in Yankton with daddy's family. Hard to believe that Rowan is already 3 months old! Raegan is really enjoying her baby sister and is a BIG helper around the house. She is really starting to talk and has quite the lil personality. I am sure she will be teaching her baby sister lots of new things!

May 2012...slowly getting caught up!

May wasn't too crazy of a month. Rowan gave mommy the best Mother's Day present...she smiled a "real" smile for the 1st time! She slept through the night a few nights, but that didnt last long! Her 2 month check-up went great---she weighed 11 lbs 3 oz and was 23 1/4 in. long. This month she really started smiling alot more. Didnt enjoy tummy time too much, but loved playing under her gym.





                                                                   

                                                            Happy Mother's Day!
                                                                      Full of smiles!

                                                              My sister loves to hold me!
                                               Memorial Day 2012-Rowan is 2 months old!
