2 Months

It's hard to believe that this little guy is 2 months old already!  He is the sweetest baby and I love him so much!  We pulled out the Bumbo yesterday and it's still a little big for him, but he thought he was pretty big stuff sitting in it.  He just smiled and talked the whole time he was in there. 
I took him in for his 2 month appointment and he weighs 11.0 lbs which puts him in the 20th percentile and is 23 inches long putting him in the 15th percentile.  Those percentages made me laugh because Blake has always been in the 70-90 percentile so I'm not sure what to do with 15-20%!
Zac is so much fun to have around.  He is starting to talk a little and smiles when someone talks to him.  He is such a good little sleeper.  He goes to bed around 9:00 and doesn't wake up until about 6:45.  He loves his binky and screams when you take his bottle away to burp him!  I'm loving this stage and wish I could freeze it for a while!

Brothers

For the first week or so after we brought Zac home from the hospital, Blake didn't even acknowledge that he existed.  I was a little concerned at first.  I though he would want to hold him and ask questions about him, but he kind of just ignored him for a few days.  I came out of the shower one day and found this:
 Blake jumped into the crib with Zac (which normally I would not be too happy about) and was talking to his brother.  It was so innocent and so sweet.
 A few days ago, I walked into Zac's room and found Blake reading to him while he was in the swing.  I hope these two will always be good little buddies!

Rodeo!

The 4th of July weekend wouldn't be complete without the Oakley Rodeo!

Cousins

John's niece, McKenna, and I used to joke about having our kids together before we were mommies.  When we found out we were pregnant with Blake, Lance and McKenna announced that they were pregnant too and we actually had the exact same due date initially.  We were so excited to be pregnant together and then when we found out we were both having boys, we talked about how much fun they were going to have growing up together.  Well, Jace was born almost a month after Blake and it has been so much fun having them grow up together!

Blake (1 month) and Jace (a couple days old)

Well, you can imagine how surprised and excited we were when we found out that once again, McKenna and I were going to have babies just a few weeks apart.  Hopefully these two will be good buddies too:)

We took the boys fishing a couple weeks ago.  They both loved playing in the water and throwing rocks.  They were soaking wet and so dirty...such boys!

So excited for many more adventures with the Rees family!

4th of July

We followed tradition and spent our 4th of July in Huntsville enjoying the parade.  This is John's favorite activity of the whole year;)


Little Zac enjoying his very first parade



We went to Jason's house that night for fireworks.
