Cole has some breathing issues…so when he gets a cold we have to do nightly breathing treatments. He is getting so used to it that I just tell him it’s time and he climbs up, gets his mask and turns on the nebulizer. We watch Yo Gabba Gabba while he gets his meds and he will usually sit through most of it holding the mask himself…so cute!

Today we went to our town’s annual Memorial Day Parade. It’s perfect for our boys…marching bands, trucks, tractors and candy! (They are also sporting their new summer haircuts.)

Annalee slept the whole time, and apparently was having some pleasant dreams.

Cole was old enough this time to want to go after the candy. We were right at the end of the parade route and so lots of people were unloading the rest of their stash. By the end we were just picking it up so it didn’t get left in the street.

If you’ve talked to me recently, I’ve probably told you about our new stroller. It is a monster. Having three little kids I already feel like we attract a lot of attention…I get told all day long, “wow, you really have your hands full.” Now people point me out to each other and I hear stroller comments. Yes, it’s giant and heavy and long, but it’s functional and I love it.

I can’t believe our little Annalee is five weeks old already! I have been seriously slacking in the picture taking. Sorry, poor 3rd child--I know your Aunt Lindsey will be able to commiserate someday. I’ve always heard the transition from 2 to 3 is the toughest, and I must say it’s a big adjustment…it’s generally total chaos at our house these days. We are getting out and about a little easier and I’m pretty sure we’ll all live through these next few months.

Annalee didn’t love her first bath like the boys did…she screamed the whole time.

She may also be our first thumb-sucker. You can’t really tell in the picture, but she is actually holding her thumb in with the other hand. She’s pretty good with a binky these days though.

These are just a few pics I took today when I realized I didn’t have all that many good ones from the last few weeks (at least not with her eyes open). Notice the awesome pink and black lovey that Aunt Rebecca made for her…yes, I’m using it as a blanket for now.

I love this one, but I wish she didn’t have her binky in! I have to point out her shirt. We were shopping one day while I was still pregnant and Jack saw this shirt. He insisted that his little sister would love it and that we had to buy it for her. How could I resist? (It’s a monkey holding an ice cream cone)
