We always look forward to visits from Aunt Jan!
The boys were very excited, and Niko decided to start leap seven while she was here, just to remind her of how much fun she had helping us with leap four!
Not sure what I'm talking about? Babies go through developmental leaps that make them fussy, clingy, disrupt their sleep, and just different from their normal selves. The results are some pretty amazing changes in their brain and 'leaps' in their understanding of the world as well as their abilities.
Jan immediately claimed her space in Niko's heart with a hilarious game of toss and catch the rolling water bottle
We tried the floaties on Niko while Jan was available as an extra set of eyes...he liked them for a bit, but was able to pull them off his skinny arms, so we have to wait a bit longer for these!
Jan caught a great shot of me bringing both boys downstairs after naps.
My arms and my heart are filled by this crew!
Jan's suitcase included presents for both boys, not only from her but also from Gammie. The boys LOVE their new CamelBaks and Alexander immediately began drawing in his new notepad.
He is quite the artist. Daniel took down the blades off the butterfly fan and offered only minor assistance as Alexander redesigned his ceiling fan.
Jan and I had much needed 'girl time' whole the guys worked hard on the fan
Mr Personality
We headed out to The Farm despite the triple digit heat (I mean, it is triple digits every day now so we can't let that stop us!) and were all eager to see how our farm loving Niko would take to seeing the animals up close and in person
It started off great. He thought the barn cats were cool and loved the turtles
This goat made lots of noise to ensure he got the most food, and Niko thought that was quite rude!
He got a little overwhelmed, but Jan and Alexander made sure the goat was rewarded for his efforts.
Niko got pretty hot and was not interested in feeding the animals, until the end when we came upon this horse. He reached out to pet it three or four times. Maybe we have an equestrian enthusiast on our hands!
We celebrated National Ice Cream Day by taking ice cream to the park.
Niko has become a huge fan of splash pads!
Both boys love the water and playing together....even in tight quarters!
Making Jan's delicious banana pudding
A HUGE Hawaiian Ice at an empty Cowabunga Bay to combat Vegas summer heat
Fun in the sun was enough to knock this guy out
Jan's house went under contract while she was here!!
Jan, we love you like Niko loves watermelon!
See you soon!
