Our First Family Vacation - Gull Lake

We enjoyed our first family vacation & celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary up on Gull Lake. We had some fun in the sun, we got to enjoy the boat, play on the beach, shop, go for some walks, out to dinner & visit Paul Bunyan Land. We had a great time just hanging out as family of four, Cooper was not able to join us as the cabins were not pet friendly...  but he was ok playing at Grandma & Grandpa's for the weekend ;) It was a great trip & much fun was had by all!

7 Months

The boys continue to be healthy and happy. They really are turning into little boys and becoming less and less baby like each day. I get a little sad that they're getting so big so fast... but then I think about all the progress we've made and the moment quickly passes.

This month they've really started to move around by rolling all over the place and some form crawling. Colton has perfected his army crawl, belly on the ground with the arms doing all the work while dragging his feet behind. Henry gets into the correct crawl position and rocks but then drops down and on his belly and shakes his arms and legs aggressively, we call this the "Frosty Move" :) They also have perfected sitting. They like to sit and play and so far they play well together, aside from stealing toys and nooks.

They still eat well and eat anything that is offered to them. Their appetites continue to grow and its fun to introduce new foods to them. Henry has been and I think always will be a great eater ;) He will eat anything that is put in front of him and I don't think he has ever not finished a bottle. Colton eats good also but when he's full he's done and typically doesn't finish his bottle. They both hold their own bottles now which is huge for me!  Henry is and ace but Colton needs a little a help now and then, this is a huge time saver for me and they stay much happier during meal times as I can feed them both at the same time.

We are looking forward to Summer being in full swing soon with trips in the boat and up north. Until then we continue to enjoy walks and exploring many parks.

Here are some fun photos from the past month...
