Carson & Taylor (& their mommy) were released from the hospital last night. The babies are eating well every 3 hours & by all reports are doing great! Suzy is still recovering from surgery, but seems to improve every day. Carson & Taylor like to snuggle together while they sleep... I remember Case & Lainey doing the same thing! How sweet! :)

Carson Rogers - what a handsome little guy!!

With the heat wave we've had this summer, the corn crop was only about 5 feet tall :(
It was still interesting to roll through the maze, though!
Introducing our precious new nephew, Carson Rogers Menn (left) & our beautiful niece, Taylor Morgan Menn (right). Congratulations Stu & Suzy!!
I put the welcoming party to work as soon as we heard the good news... but they got a little hungry!
Casen discovered the window blinds! This little guy is determined like his momma... when he wants something, he is very persistent!
I was cleaning the bathroom & left Casen crawling towards this chair full of toys. When I peeked around the corner to check on him, this is what I saw! Now he wants to pull up on everything!
Collins is growing up along with her brother... she can now hold her bottle all by herself!
Bryan's parents & sisters came to visit last weekend. The girls hadn't seen Case & Lainey in months.
Collins & her Nana.

Collins all dolled up in a dress from Nana & Pop & a handmade hair bow from Charlotte - too cute!
Our big girl! Remember when she could fit inside the hood of this towel?
Our little frog prince is growing so big!
Exploring the table paper in the exam room.
Collins weighed 15.8 lbs & measured 25.75 inches long.
Casen weighed 19.2 lbs & measured 28 inches long.
Casen's hair sticks straight up in back - hopefully it will lie down one of these days!
What!?!? We get SHOTS today?!?!
A new adventure this week... bathtime without the baby tub! Since Case & Collins are both sitting up so well on their own, we started bathing them in the big tub. The best part is they get more toys to play with - so fun!
We feed Case & Collins baby food twice a day - usually around 10:30am & 6:30pm. They love The Price Is Right & Wheel of Fortune - the "click...click...click" of the wheel gets their attention every time!
Collins had quite a productive week. She found her voice & started babbling last weekend - her favorite is "da-da-da-da-da-da". She also started army crawling, except her army crawl at this point looks more like an inch-worm! We're working on strengthening her legs to bear weight. She is beginning to bounce better, so we're making progress! Here she is with her snack cup.
Casen spends his time these days mastering his army crawling skills - he can get around so quickly! He continues to be extremely curious & loves to explore anything & everything that catches his attention. This week he learned how to reach into his snack cup for some puffs.
This week we introduced some new textures by offering banana slices & grapes in their mesh feeders. Lainey is still getting used to the idea, but Casen loves it - so much that we have keep him from taking Lainey's feeder!
