Life Lately (and a Look Back)

It wasn't too hot after dinner on Monday, so we went on our favorite neighborhood stroll.  Love running around with these guys!
(I didn't take a picture on Tuesday - shock!!  We went on another bike ride after dinner, and Kevin was in Chicago for work.) 
The boys had a swimming lesson with Mr. Gage at the club after school on Wednesday.  Nana, Pops, and Mommy were all impressed with their tune up of swimming skills.  Lincoln had fun on the slide after they finished up. 
Most nights, Lincoln wants to stay up and watch a little Rangers baseball with Mommy (or occasionally The Bachelorette - shhh).  We make sure Beau is safely in bed then have a little quiet bonding time, and it's a great way to end the day.  Some times (but really rarely) he is just too tired and has to crash out on the couch. 
 
Mommy took a moment to remember when this skinny legged 6 year old was just a tiny baby and could fit in a swaddle blanket so tightly cuddled up.  I couldn't find a picture of him swaddled on the couch, which is weird.  I swaddled him in that exact spot on the couch for 4 months then carried him to his crib.  The below screen shots are from when he was 5 weeks old.  I got a little teary that he's grown so much and not that little baby and that it happened so quickly!  
 


















Help!!! I'm lost in the polka dots!
(This is our favorite swaddle blanket, and luckily the dot colors are different than our sheets and bumper pads or we'd never find him!)

I mean . . . how cute is little Linky as a baby!!  His stretches were always some of my favorites!  It was fun to remember life at that time.  Such a difference a few years makes!  Fourth of July fun is up next . . . stay tuned.
