Not sure that this post really deserves it's own "Part" as it's mostly just a collection of pictures from the past few weeks. But they're pictures I wanted to share and pictures I want to remember!

| Arjen sporting his new helmet |
 |
| Adalin and Gus |
 |
| Arjen found a new hiding spot |
 |
| Our first, of what I hope will be many, walks to the lake. As my timing gets better with the boys, between feeding and sleeping, hopefully we'll work in a swim too! |
 |
| Cousins having fun playing at Gma and Gpa's house. Arjen has really gotten into playing with trucks lately, and there is no shortage around here! He also really likes Gma's dollhouse. This particular day he decided the tractor should be parked in the living room of the doll house. The kid thinks outside the box! |
 |
| Summer 2012 Maiden Voyage on the "toon boat" as Captain Arjen has been calling it. Arjen is also sporting his first (and hopefully last!) black eye. He fell over in one chair and hit his cheek on another. :( |
 |
| Gus didn't seem to mind the life jacket, unlike his brother who wasn't a big fan last summer |
 |
| "spash!" (he can't quite get the 'l' in there just yet). As Arjen's vocab is growing, he's enjoying giving commands, such as "spash mama!" or "spash dada!" |
 |
| Blowing bubbles! It only took Arjen a couple of days getting used to the lake before becoming almost too confident and comfortable! |
 |
| Andrew and his mini-me heading to the beach |
 |
| On Sundays, motor boats aren't allowed on the lake, so we load up the stroller with all the beach toys! (and a Gus hiding in there too) |
 |
| Gus has learned how to roll over now, and Arjen has learned that we clap and say "yay Gus Gus!" when he does so. Once he's on his belly though, Gus is clearly mentally ready to move on to the next stage of crawling, although his body hasn't quite caught up. Arjen likes to get down there with him for a little extra motivation. |
 |
| My little Prince...ess? |
 |
| Gus having some quality time with his penguin beanie ball |
 |
| Arjen insisted on holding Gus. Thank you iphone for the self portrait feature so I could take this shot while holding both boys! |
 |
| Arjen really is a lover. He loves giving hugs and kisses, whether it's to family/friends, or just random kids he meets at the parks. |
 |
| Not even 4 1/2 months old and he's sitting supported by himself! (At least long enough for me to snap a photo!) |
It was a fun 3 weeks in WI. We are looking forward to heading back next weekend for some more fun with nephews/niece, toon boats, skis, and hopefully some wind!
