Family Day at the Pool

The horrible heat finally gave us a break with a day in the high 80's and since Stan had Friday off for the Fourth of July we decided to spend the day by the pool. We took the girls bouncy seats and let them lounge by the pool while Stan and I read and sun bathed a little. Then we took them in for a nice dip! They both really liked it and I think it cooled them off just enough for a nice nap afterward.

An update on bedtime, last night we put them down to sleep at 9pm after bottles and burps and we had one little whimper and fast asleep!!! YEAH!!!! They were up again for their small feeding in the middle of the night then again at 4am for a diaper change, but hey at least we got through bedtime with no crying. We are making progress.

Madeline and Daddy taking a swim. Taylor and Daddy having fun in the pool.

This is just an added picture that we thought was funny. Taylor is our resident spitter upper so I have taken to wrapping a little cape around her after she eats while we burp so that we can catch whatever comes up. It has helped keep the outfits clean :)

We did the same with Emma, with that same exact cloth! ;-} They r so cute in the pool. Charlotte was tring to wear the pink hat a month or so ago. It looked the exact opposite. Big baby little hat, you have...little baby, big hat. Too funny. Do you have any interest in small bibs. They are stained but clean, and would catch a small spit up. You have figured out how to handle the big spit up already. I have cloth bibs and 3 plastic bjorn style bibs. Let me know. Love to you all, M,J,E,&C
