June....I know a little late!

Summer is officially here. I am off of work and have been enjoying all the fun that the summer has to offer. The adjustment from one child to two has really not been as difficult as I thought it was going to be. Benjamin has done really well with his new role as Big Brother! Sullivan is just a joy, and we are growing more in love with him everyday.

We have been to several Grizzlies game this year. We bought season tickets for every Wednesday and Thursday home game. The games have been a blast and the boys do so great at them. Sullivan usually sleeps or just looks around at his surroundings, and Benjamin loves clapping and cheering! So much fun and a great summer activity.

  We have been working with Benjamin on his letters, and I would say he knows over half of them. We are not pushing it too hard because he is so young, but he is such a smart boy and already knows colors and most of his shapes, so it was the next thing on the list! He loves practicing and playing "letters".

  Sullivan celebrated his two month birthday on June 1st. I cannot believe that he is two months old already. Time is going by way too fast. He is such an easy baby. He finally started sleeping longer then 3 hours at night, which has been amazing. And now, even towards the end of the month, he will sleep 7 hours straight at night. Such a life saver! During the day he wants to eat about every 3 hours. He had his two month check up and he already weighs over 15 lbs.! We have a big boy on our hands. It is so funny that Ben was 9 lbs. when born and is now so skinny and Sully was small, 7.12 lbs., when born and is now so big! Sullivan loves to smile, look into mirrors, play on his play mat and loves to be held. Sullivan does NOT like tummy time or dirty diapers, but other then that he is a happy baby. We took Sully swimming for the first time. He didn't cry at all, in fact he seemed to really enjoy it. This didn't surprise me since he LOVES baths. Unfortunately the pictures I have of him in the pool is on my in-laws camera, so I need to still get those from them. It is so much fun watching his personality come out.

In the middle of the month we (my mom, the boys and I) went to Gilroy Gardens. I have heard of it through a couple of friends and was so excited to take Benjamin. Benjamin had a blast going on all of the rides and playing h the water. He was a little timid at first, which is typical Benjamin, but one he went on his first ride he was in LOVE! He has a very serious face while riding most rides, but once the ride stops he would say "more rides" , and even cry if we couldn't go for a second time! His favorite ride was the fishy ride, so cute. I highly recommend Gilroy Gardens to anyone who has kids ages 1-6. So much fun! In fact it is so fun that we bought a season pass!

Benjamin also celebrated his 2nd birthday yesterday June, 30th. We spent the day with his cousins going to Storyland, Playland and McDonalds. We had such a fun day. His birthday party will be this Saturday, so I will do a whole birthday post once we have his party.
