We Hang Out

I know that these pictures aren't very exciting. And they really don't serve a purpose. But we have some important people in our lives who don't get to see these kids all that much these days. Especially the grandparents. So I feel like this is one way I can share a little bit of our every day with those we love.

Cormac and Azure have really taken to each other lately. Cormac is still not too excited about the occasions when Azure gets ahold of one of his toys, and I'm sure that won't get easier as she becomes more mobile, but apart from that they really love each other. In the morning I have to wait until Azure has been able to watch Cormac for at least 15 minutes before she'll settle down and let me feed her.


Cormac is starting to enjoy hanging out with Azure. He always talks about "Azure bebe." In fact he has now named any baby he sees "Azure."

Say "Cheese."
When we were visiting with my family for my sister's graduation (see previous post) my parents were trying to take a picture of Cormac. They told him to "say cheese." He responded "no cheese, no cheese." I guess he wasn't hungry.


I think most of the time they just want me to get out of their faces. That's fair. But I love how they love each other. Whenever Azure is sad Cormac yells "Uh Oh, bebe Azure sad!" Sometimes I feel he is a little too enthusiastic for what he is reporting. We'll have to work on empathy. He also points to his face when he is sad and says "Mormac Sad." It cracks me up because he's usually in the middle of a full blown fall on the floor fit when he stops and calmly declares that he's sad. I try very hard not to laugh.


Anyway, we hang out in our pajamas a lot. It's just something we do. I love to wear my pajamas. So does Ammon. Thus the kids do also. Maybe I'm just lazy.

Another thing that happens a lot in our house lately is yoga. Here are the kids doing upward facing dog.


Oh, and it has been really hot in our house lately. So sometimes we get down to the bare minimum in clothing. There was a time when Cormac was on the beefy side. Never fat really, just thick. He hit 25 pounds at about 1 year old. He'll be three in October and he is almost 30 pounds now. Yep, 2 years, 5 pounds. Getting more and more like his daddy.


Azure almost always has this face now. She will not take a pacifier or a bottle. She does suck on her fingers some. She mostly just chews on her fingers. Well, now she has started sucking in her bottom lip and sucking on it. I think it's adorable. I think she's adorable. And I tell her that it's her own fault I kiss her so much. With cheeks like that. What can I say, I'm human.

Sure love these kids.

Melanee & Ammon,

Thank you for the posts and photos. We so appreciate you keeping us up on the kids. They are growing and changing so much. We're so glad they'll have a Garrison cousin.
