Yay for May!

Maverick is working on liking his tummy time.  Some days are better than others.


And this one has found other ways to get some parental attention.  At least it's at home and not in public...


Phoebe has a very vivid imagination that sometimes shows up in the outfits she puts together.


We actually had a rare DRY, sunny day last weekend so we took advantage and went to a park.  Phoebe amazed us with how brave she is becoming.  She even went down the tall tube slides all by herself.


However, she still prefers these swings when they're available.


YiaYia and Papou stopped by the park and Phoebe showed them a caterpillar she discovered.  Again, our little brave girl wanted to pick it up.  It's nice to know she's not 100% girly all the time!




She also showed off her skipping skills.  Not quite skipping, but awfully close and certainly entertaining!


We went to feed the ducks our leftover Easter bread but only the geese were hungry.


Running to pinch YiaYia's booty because Daddy said she should.


After they left, Phoebe decided to go for a climb.




Sunday night marked four weeks with Maverick and thus the green light to attempt bottle feeding without worrying about "nipple confusion."  I'd call it a success (which means I can FINALLY schedule a much needed hair appointment!)


Another one of Phoebe's fabulous, fashionable creations.  She was in a brown mood Monday - even down to her shoes.


Her first attempt at stick-on earrings.


Eyeballs!


Sibling time.  We were in the middle of a diaper change but they were both alert and happy.  I'm sure these poses will improve as they get older...


Phoebe wasn't a huge fan of being swaddled at night, but Maverick does MUCH better swaddled - he's got crazy arms that flail about, even mid-sleep.  Whatever works, we'll try.  He has been taking 4 oz. around 10:30 - staying up till midnight and then not getting up till after 3 or 4 to eat.  It's been huge - although we'd prefer if he just went to sleep after the bottle.  At least we're headed in the right direction!
