Slumber Party!

Guest Blogger - Auntie D
I asked Delia to post the blog this week since she babysat Brixton - enjoy!

So Brixton had his first ever slumber party!
Cira and Tzaddi went to a concert, and had their first night away from him, much to MY joy!
...and, of course, Lucy and Nick were thrilled as well!
I didn't get pictures of everything,
mostly because I was chasing around TWO kids all day!

LUNCHTIME!

Yummy apple filled whole wheat quesadillas!

As you can see, Lucy thought it would be best that SHE sat in the highchair...

We went to a baby shower, and this is the only proof of my outing with the two, even though Brixton is kind of hidden.
Hey, cut me some slack, I don't think in "blog picture" terms.

When we got home, Lucy and I thought it would be a great idea to teach Brixton how to safely jump and walk on the couch.

No, he is not trying to get off, he is trying to get back up.

After dinner and no nappage from either child, I gave them both a shower and then it was time to brush their teeth and get off to bed.

Thanks to neither one having a nap, it was a success.
I followed Cira's advice of the blanket and the singing, and wha-lah, they were both asleep!

Here is where I would have put a picture of Brixton standing up in his playard so excited for the next day and to wake up in the same room as Lucy, but again, I didn't think to grab my camera.

Of course, he woke up way earlier than Lucy ever does, so we attempted to bring them both back into bed to get a little more rest...

...and that's when the wrestling started...

...and the sitting on each other...

...and the hair pulling...

No such luck, time to get out of bed.

PANCAKES FOR BREAKFAST?

Yes, Brixton, that's how we roll.

They say early morning sun is the worst for UV rays.
This was after TWO applications of SPF 100 sunscreen, and we were only outside for about 20 minutes.
Look at his sunburnt cheeks!

I promise for the next sleepover we have, I will take more pictures!

Meanwhile...
Tzaddi and I were having a great time at Rock the Bells...in spite of the 105 degree weather. It was an all day concert and we spent the majority of the time standing in a puddle of sweat. We realized about halfway through the day that we are way too old for all-day concerts.
But we still had a blast!

Lucy Turns Three!

We went to a baby shower and they had a bouncy house for all the kids. There weren't that many kids using it though, so Lily was nice enough to take Brixton in there for his first time. He LOVED it! I know, I know...Brixton isn't wearing any pants. It was SUPER hot and he was wearing jeans so I just decided to take them off. A bit trashy, but we were around family ;) The next day, we had Lucy's birthday party at Hacienda Hughes. It was a pirate theme, and true to form, Dad had to create something EXTRAVAGANT for the kids to enjoy. So he drew a giant cardboard cutout of a pirate...complete with a 3D bird and doubloons! Kaiya and Delia A very fun potato sack race! Pinata time! Here's Lucy enjoying her loot while she waits patiently to open her presents...I think Brixton is wondering where his candy is! Look at the plane! Brixton was very happy to sneak some of Fisher's blueberries! A potato sack race just for Lucy and Brixton! Delia is attempting to make a &quo

Saturday Morning Sweetness

Image
On Saturday morning, Tzaddi went to play disc golf for the first time in 3 months and Brixton and I stayed home. Brixton was in such a good mood and he was so chatty! Of course, this is his usual expression...I think he frowns on purpose so that I'll smile at him and then he can smile back! Pixel has become increasingly interested in Brixton. She likes to see just how close she can get before we yell at her. She also really likes trying to lick his face without us knowing. Luckily, I caught it on camera! Although Brixton doesn't look too upset, does he? Now, this is a rather lengthy video and you have to listen to my horrible singing but I promise you it's worth it! We were listening to B is for Bob and Brixton enjoyed the impromptu live concert.

It's Been Three Years

Image
It's been exactly three years since Rowan passed away. It feels like yesterday. In just a bit over a month from now, Rowan will have been gone longer than he was here. We still miss him more than words can say. He taught us so much: How to love How to be loved Compassion Empathy Hope Gratitude Rowan will always be our first child. Rowan will always be Brixton's big brother. I can tell you exactly how we spent every hour on this same day three years ago. I can tell you how the final roller coaster started four days ago...three years ago. I remember making the call to my family; telling them to come right away. I remember listening to Tzaddi as he told his family to get on the next plane. Here's a glimpse into our lives three years ago...and perhaps a glimpse into yours. Nikki (Rowan's daily nurse) Kate (Rowan's therapist) Cousin Quinn Aunt Carleen Auntie Delia (with Lucy in tummy) Nana Noni Jill Kristy Uncle Nate Poppy Tops Auntie Delia & Uncle Nick The Fat Nana
