Big sis

Avery is still doing amazingly well as a big sis! This morning it was really hard for Larson to stay asleep during his nap. Each time we heard his cries on the monitor she would say, "Uh oh, that is baby brother! Go get him! I will wait for you here." Such a sweetheart and I really appreciate it her cheerful attitude especially while Taylor is away! She has always been a pretty laid back little girl but it still amazes me what she comes up with while playing by herself as I run up and down the stairs tending to Larson.

She played with blocks for almost an hour this morning, yesterday she drew a family of itsy bitsy spiders with chalk, and she also was practicing her letters. The pic with her and Larson is an "L"!

Averyisms

Don't want to forget these cute ways Avery says somethings and thought you might enjoy them too!
She says "Tar-tar" in the place of guitar.
When she asks to be excused from the table she says, "May I to get down please" or "May I please be excused to get down please".
When she says the bolero blue she emphasizes the L and sticks her tongue out and yellow is Lellow.
Sun screen lotion sounds more like ice cream ocean :)
When Larson sneezes she sometimes says he is blessing.
She has the idea down for a possessive but with some names it gets a little extra, example Thomas's's's',
When she plays horsey she says "get me up" for giddy up.
Those are just a few I can remember off the top of my head. I will add more later as they come to mind.

Update on the kiddos

Totally slacking in the update department so here it goes...

Larson has already started competing against his sister. He had to beat her time of rolling over at 2 1/2 months and he rolled over at 2 days shy of his two month birthday!
He started cooing pretty early and is now making the cutest squeals and other noises.

Avery suddenly was able to sing the ABC song just by hearing some other kids sing it a few times. I realized I needed to work with her on ABCs after that and her pointing out the letter A on something. She was able to draw the letter A a few times but has since stopped. :) We will keep on trying!

Picture update

Here are some recent cute pictures that give you a look into the Martyn family.

Gloves

Avery found some socks and put them on during her nap time. When she woke up she told me she put on her gloves. :) Silly girl.

Growing fast!

Here is a recent pic of our little guy learning how to grab onto his pacifier! Can't believe how quickly he is growing!

Arts and Crafts

Avery is just so much fun! We are enjoying some mama and Avery time while baby brother takes a good morning nap now days. She loves to play with the great arts set sent by the OITS Sunday school class.
She loves to paint and can even draw the letter A now! If you look close at one picture you will see little fuzzy balls in her ears. She called them her "earrings!"

Summer time fun!

Our lucky little ones get to have two summers this year! Here they are enjoying an afternoon by the pool.

10 weeks already!

Our big little guy is already 10 weeks old! He is a lovable 11 +pounds and 25 inches! I am enjoying his smiles and his coos and now squeals. He is a silly little guy who sometimes wakes up from a nap early and when I try to put him back to sleep he just gives me the biggest grins. I think he already figured out that it just makes me smile and laugh and then he knows he can get up.
