Creeper

This Crawler...

is creeping up on you! Peek-a-boo!!!

He's fast too! And, he thinks it's hilarious!

Watch out, sis!

Did we miss a month?

Hi! We are back!

How in the world did an entire month just fly by? We just returned from our big trip to Oklahoma and I am sure preparing for our journey kept me from updating the old blog! Traveling alone with 2 kiddos is, ummmm, interesting. The amount of items packed is simply ridiculous, and nothing can prepare you for what actually might happen (like having your 2 your old throw up 4 times on the first leg of your trip)!!! However, we survived and Susannah was an awesome little flower girl in sweet Kristin's wedding. While we were busy planning, packing and puking, little Coleman got his first 2 teeth and started crawling! We also have had ear infections galore and are trying to avoid the dreaded G-ville stomach virus (pray for us! ).

Here is the big boy in full-crawling mode!

Meanwhile, girlfriend is still big on books.

She takes them very seriously.

Slithering

This precious boy-

is on the move!

Where did all that time go?

He is the sweetest thing, and we are seeing some serious determination from him as he goes after Susannah's toys, markers, babies, etc. While she doesn't appreciate his sudden fascination with Baby Hal, she is constantly cheering for him and encouraging him. In fact, yesterday I said, "Okay everybody, it's breakfast time!" And, she promptly responded, "C'mon Coleman, slither in here!" Such a funny girl and an appropriate verb! He is a slitherer! Life as we know it has really changed.

Sweet Coleman, don't grow up too fast!

Party People

Last Saturday the Dunbars ventured out to 3- count them- 3 birthday parties. Conveniently, Brayden turned 1, Catherine turned 2 and Elizabeth turned 3! I have officially learned the "less is more" lesson when it comes to birthday parties. On Saturday night, Susannah was running wild and crazy laps in our house. My guess it is the 3 pieces of cake, 2 cookies, and huge serving of ice cream. What do you think? Could that be it? By the 3rd party, we had our stuff together enough to snap a few pics.

Here is the party queen before cake #3.

Decorating cupcakes before the big ice cream treat!

The birthday girl is Sweet Elizabeth. She is wearing the pale pink dress and that's her mama, Miss Laura, talking to all the munchkins. Susannah has been friends with these little girls since she was born! I cannot believe they are turning 3 already!!!!

Coleman was a trooper. He even napped in the arms of another party-goer! Sweet boy!

Sweet Friends on a Sugar High!

Little Buddies

While Susannah is busy playing with Joseph, David and Coleman are getting to know each other. They just sit around in the rainforest smiling and staring at each other. Sweet little buddies!

Bath Buddies

We finally got rid of the baby bathtub here in the Dunbar house! Yea!!! I really hate that thing. Now that Coleman has been sitting up for awhile, I figured this transition was way overdue. These two LOVE playing with each other and splashing (gently).

After some coaxing, Susannah even shared her precious boats with her brother.

This picture gives you a great shot of Coleman's awesome physique!

Little man is on the mend, and we are all ready to be healthy around here! Thanks for checking on us!

Sickness and a Chef

This poor little fella has a double ear infection, fever virus and 5 teeth on the way!!! A much needed doctor's appointment affirmed my suspicion that he was following in big sister's footsteps and needed some ear attention.

Doesn't he look pitiful? Look at all that slobber on his pjs. He is on the mend now and sleeping in his crib. Sweet baby!

In an effort to entertain her brother, Chef Susannah worked on preparing a delicious meal.

He was very entertained watching her, especially since

she gave him a yummy orange block as an appetizer.

I love the way this girl cares for little brother. What a sweetheart!

I am confident she cooked up something that made him feel better immediately!
