There's been a lot going on with our little family over these past couple of weeks.
Graydon Happenings:
He had a doctor check-up at the beginning of the month. Our little guy is growing up in height just fine - two inches in the past three months. He is now 34 inches tall and in the 75th percentile! His weight however, that's a different story. He didn't even gain one pounds in these past three months and his percentile dropped from 25th to 10th. He currently weighs 23 pounds 1 ounce.
Our doctor isn't too concerned at this point because he is growing in inches, which means he is still getting proper nutrition. She just wants us to try pushing foods like cheese, peanut butter, avocado, etc. and we'll see how things are at his two-year check-up.
Part of me just wonders if he is already getting Daddy's high metabolism. We'll see how things look in the next few months.
Another big event in Graydon's life is that he got his first haircut last Saturday. Here he is before:
The summer's humidity gave Graydon adorable curls. With the humidity gone, his hair just started to look messy. I tried to push this off for as long as I could, but it was time.
Here he is after. Sort of. Andy did end up taking a little more off the top a few days later. I haven't taken a picture of it yet. I'll admit - I was a little sad that the curls were gone. But he does look so handsome. (And like such a big boy).
Bella Happenings
I went with Bella on a class field trip to the Adventure Aquarium.
We saw all sorts of fish, sharks, sting ray, seals, penguins, etc. It was nice to do an activity with just her (and her school friends).
Unfortunately, she had a bad dream about the jellyfish the other night. The price you pay for a little education. :)
Later in the week, she had a visit from her friend Katelyn who moved away last spring. These two played for hours at the park and were very sad to have to say goodbye again.
Curtis Happenings
He continues to be one of the sweetest little babies that I know.
He had one of his best nights of sleep last week, going from 9pm - 6:30am.
He still is up usually once and sometimes twice, though. And it often takes him a little while to actually fall asleep at night.
We'll get there.
Family Happenings
I feel like these days have been crazy busy lately. So I'm very thankful that we could steal away some family time to go apple picking.
Bella picked pretty much all of our apples.
Graydon found all the stray apples on the ground and tossed them around like baseballs. Such a boy.
We really couldn't have asked for a more beautiful fall day.
Later on we made some mini caramel apples and apple pie.
Whenever I take the kids outside, for a walk, or into a store, Curtis goes into this wrap. He pretty much falls asleep within minutes of being in it and it makes it so much easier for me. He's still not a fan of his car seat, so this is pretty much my only option if I don't want a crying baby while I'm out and about.
He still gets lots of lovin' from big sister
and from big brother too! (When he's not sticking his finger in Curtis's eye or shoving the paci in his mouth).
Our house is pretty loud these days. Consider yourselves lucky that you cannot hear photos. Graydon is in a fit-throwing stage. Oh the joys. 
I had a hard time keeping Curtis's tummy covered with his shirt. Guess he has officially outgrown his newborn clothes.
Tummy time! Though he doesn't always like it, I think that Curtis is more content on his tummy than Bella and Graydon were.
August is here. The summer is moving swiftly by. We've spent it in pools and sprinklers. Eating popsicles. Riding bikes. Taking walks. Sitting on the porch. Chasing fireflies. Playing frisbee. Lots of fun times and great memories. And still time for more.
The kids went on a High Seas Expedition this week at our Vacation Bible School.
It was a busy week that completely zapped Andy and Curtis of all their energy. 
But we still found time for playing on the floor. It's hard to believe that Bella and Graydon were as tiny (actually tinier) than Curtis.
Curtis made some new friends. . .
. . . snuggled with Mommy . . .
. . . and told Bella that she is the coolest big sister EVER!
It was a good week!
