Rolling, smiling, sleeping babies (and more)

Life is pretty crazy around the Naegle ranch.  With Kristen back to work and Davis' birthday party and a sandbox for the kids under construction, I haven't had time to blog lately.  Here are a few quick updates.

1. Evan is rolling over.   He has gone from front to back each of the last few days.  Alex is not yet.  Given his general dislike / frustration with tummy time, this isn't a big surprise.  Alex can turn himself around in the crib.  Its not unusual to find him rotated by 90 degrees from where we put him.
2. Alex is a super smiler.  This weekend I had him in my lap while watching the Cardinals game (I'm a convert) and for about 25 minutes got the biggest smiles out of him by making faces and playing with him.  A true joy.  (Note: Evan is a great smiler too, but I had Alex)
3. Davis turned 3 last week.  We had a family party on Wednesday and a party for his friends on Saturday.  9 toddlers made for an interesting and fun few hours.
4. The sandbox is coming along.  Its (of course) turned out to be a huge project and its hard to make much progress 30 minutes at a time.  This weekend, Davis and I worked on leveling the yard where the sandbox will go.  Davis had a blast digging in the dirt.
5. Alex and Evan sleep through the night very reliably.  If Evan is sleeping in his crib, he wakes up at about 1:30.  On Saturday (I think) I asked Kristen if she wanted to get up with him at 1:30 or if I had to.  He woke up at 1:37.
6. We had some huge thunderstorms (and tornado watches) this weekend.  Davis ended up sleeping in our bed one night - I love knowing that he feels so safe with us.
7. We've been forced to ween Evan off the swing.  He has slept in the swing for many nights, but both swings have stopped working.  I need to try and get them replaced, but he is doing pretty well in the crib.
8. I took Davis for a run this weekend.  We picked up a (huge) new bob dualie stroller from REI with their 20% coupon and our dividend.  It was the first run I've had with him since we moved.  Grants Trail was a great place to take him.  We started and ended a park.  
9. We now have 3 ghosts in our house: The Big Ghost, The Little Ghost and Six.  This weekend, they worked together to tear the cover on a book.

Hopefully I'll have some pictures or videos soon.
