Two months

Greetings from our big boy! At JP's two month check up, he weighed in at 12 pounds, 10 ounces and was 23.5 inches long. He is more than a pound heavier than Rae was at this age; he's my little budda baby! He is in general a very happy baby full of smiles and almost giggles. He will tell you a story better than anyone, but sometimes those stories get a little sad :). Tummy time is great and he's even rolled over several times, although not quite consistent yet. His toys and surroundings are becoming more and more interesting to him; he is beginning to grab and pull at things that hang above him.

Summer adventures

Happy 4th of July from the Shunts!



The summer season is officially under way. We have been dealing with scorching temps, but have managed to still have fun through it all. We spent the fourth of July with family watching fireworks at Maine East high school. Raegan loved them and kept pointing out which ones were her favorite (all colors at one point) and wanted to know which ones we liked too. Joshua didn't seem too bothered by the noise probably because he got to be held so much. We also enjoyed watching to parade in Des Plaines. Raegan collected so much candy I think we will be passing it out for Halloween :). The one thing she didn't like was the costumed people. This is why we haven't made it to Disney yet! After the parade, we bbqed at my grams house and made up a new game of frisbee sprinkler. Basically turning a friendly frisbee throw into a challenge and a way to stay cool all at once. We had a couple of long days and I am ready to get back into our routine.

Parade time with Nana and Pops



While trying to keep cool, we've taken the kids on a couple mini adventures. One morning, we took three kids (the third being Sammi, the little girl I watch) to the DuPage children's museum. The girls had a great time playing and Joshua got in a good nap :)

We survived!


Ooo, colorful toys

Raegan was a little scared of the giant bubble


Playing a giant drum



Another adventure we took was down to Grant park and Navy Pier. Raegan saw the giant ferris wheel and merry go round and instantly wanted to go on both. Out of all the animals, she wanted to ride on the bench...go figure lol.
