This little dude is five months old today and the sweetest little cub around town. We love Dellin so much. He has been such a joy in our family. He smiles ALL the time!
He has been rolling over for a few months now but I never could get it on camera. I finally caught it!
I always seem to blog about the weekend but let's face it, that is when all the fun happens. This weekend was really fun. Sterling's cousin, Scott Erickson was in town. He is doing an internship in NYC and came down to visit us for 36 hours. We loved it! The boys LOVED having him here.
We took him to a few must-see favorites.
Mount Vernon is top on our list.
The trees there are truly amazing.
George Washington's Gristmill.
Sterling and Scott did a session in the temple. I stayed home with the little cubs.
The monuments. I love this picture of Scott and Sterling Henry at the base of the Washington Monument. 
Thanks for coming to visit us Scott. We had a lot of fun.
It is ultra HOT here right now so we have been spending a lot of time indoors just lounging around.
This picture of Dellin kills me. I know I took a picture of Sterling Henry in the bed, but I can't find it for some reason.
Sterling Henry decided to kick back in Dellin's bouncy seat. I think he thinks it's a Lazy Boy or something.
We finally pulled out the exersaucer for Dellin and he LOVES it!
And I couldn't resist putting up a picture of Sterling Henry's first time in the exersaucer. They grow up so fast!
We are just sitting around hoping for some cooler weather.
We had some really yummy food on Father's Day. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I spoiled my man.
We had a usual Father's Day meal of yummy ribs. This is my mom's recipe and it is the BEST!
This year I stepped it up a notch and attempted German Chocolate Cake. The frosting turned out a little weird looking but it was delicious.
This was my favorite. I saw these done by Bakerella last year and I was dying to try them this year. I got together with some friends and we conquered them.
They were delicious and Sterling was totally surprised.
Father's Day was a whole lot of fun this year. We are all well fed around here!

We are so happy for Becky and Hema. They are such wonderful parents. I can't wait to meet her. She's just too precious!
This is the love of my life and the father of my two boys. I always thought that Sterling would be a good dad and he is. The boys absolutely adore him. Sterling Henry wants to be with his dad every second. Mornings are pretty tough when dad has to go to work. (Luckily he comes home in the evenings.) Dellin lights up when his dad holds him. These two boys have nothing but fun to look forward to because they have the best dad!
Proud dad.
Even prouder.
Sterling and I both have amazing fathers. We love them both and wish we lived closer and got to see them more often!
Happy Father's Day!Sterling Henry has a new best friend. He got this bear when he was a baby and has not taken real interest in it until about a week ago. Now he is obsessed!
He loves Bear. We love that he loves Bear.
Sometimes he even lets Bear give Dellin kisses.
He even puts Bear on the chair so that Bear can watch a show.
Bear loves it!
He definitely loves to snuggle with bear.
We hope someday that Dellin will be his best friend, but Bear is good for now.
Ever since Sterling Henry was a new baby, we have loved to watch him sleep. Now that we have two cute boys, we do a lot of this. We easily check on our boys 6 or 7 times before we go to bed. We love to see the cute ways they sleep.
Dellin is just so cute. He has been going 11 hours at night. We usually put him down in our room in the pack n' play and then move him into his crib when we go to bed. He is such a angel sleeper.
This is one of my favorite poses of Sterling Henry. He has his binky, bear and blanket all close by (frog fell overboard unfortunately). His legs are hilarious!
This one is a pretty sweet pose also. I love the hand behind his head. (Notice bear and binky close by.)
Dellin is still held captive by the swaddling blanket. Last night was the first night we put him to bed in his crib with no transfer. (Sort of sad!)
In the morning we always bring the boys into bed with us. Dellin eats, Sterling Henry get a bottle, and we get a little more rest. We LOVE it!
I had to include these last 2 pictures of the boys because they are so cute together!
Sterling loves to do tummy time with Dellin!
Sometimes I think my life is a dream. I never could have imagined so much happiness and joy. Being a mom is all I hoped it would be and MORE!
Sterling loves to go fishing. He goes with his buddies all the time. Yesterday, we loaded up the boys and went as a family. We had a really great time.
Sterling Henry was happy to be there.
Even happier to be fishing with dad.
Not so happy when dad caught a fish and it got too close to him.
Dellin and I were both happy to be there too. (Note Sterling's bait cooler behind me. We don't even have a family cooler yet, but of course we have a cooler to keep Sterling's bait cool.)
Like they say, "Families that fish together, stick together."
We had the best Memorial Day weekend. We got to spend so much time together as a family. It is always nice to have dad home but so much more fun when we get him on Monday as well.
We started the weekend out right by sleeping in on Saturday morning(and Sunday, oh and Monday too). When we FINALLY all got up, we headed out to our favorite farm in Berryville to pick strawberries. We have been going to this same farm for 3 years now. We LOVE it!
Sterling Henry loved being pulled around in the wagon.
I tried to get Sterling Henry to hold Dellin for this picture but he was not interested in sharing the wagon.
It was super hot, so pulling this wagon around was quite a workout. Sterling Henry enjoyed every minute of it.
We were all worn out by the time the day was over. This is Dellin's new trick. He loves sleeping with a little blanker covering his eyes. (It kind of freaks us out.)
On Monday morning we headed out to Annapolis to meet up with some friends. There was a parade in the morning, that we caught the tail end of it.
The boys were matching outfits of course. My amazing friend Ann made these cute shirts for the boys. They say "big" and "little". They are adorable! Thanks Anne!!!
We ate at the yummiest seafood buffet. Dellin sat in a high chair for the first time.
Here we are with the Kimballs. The food was DELICIOUS!
Afterwards, we walked about the harbor and looked at all the boats.
We were able to spend so much time with good friends over the weekend. We love to pack our weekend full of lots of fun things.
