Sparklers on the 4th of July

Nevlin is having an extra long sleep, so I get to do more blogs (here's me avoiding doing taxes!). Speaking of the little man, he weighs well over 8kg or 17lbs now and is about 4.5 months old. He loves eating and gets a bit frustrated when he can't do or reach something that he wants. He had about a week of not sleeping very well when Cam's parents were visiting and after, but is back to a great routine of 7pm bed and we get him out of his crib about 7am. He wakes up generally sometime in the 5am hour, but only kicks/thumps his feet in his bed until he gets so tired that he falls back asleep. Its so loud that it trips the baby monitor and then there is silence. Its quite the norm for the little guy and cracks us up.

So flashing back over a month ago to Michelle's 4th of July visit, we had sparklers. We drew in the back our names and crazy things, super fun. Here are the best shots from the evening. This one was by Michelle.

Here's CamU's signature in lights.

This one could have been better, but it was the best I did. Funny, but many of my "z"s looked more like "m"s.

Michelle was inspired by CamU's design and decided to give her hand at an M one. This was her first & last attempt, done & dusted!

We wrapped up the evening with just doing anything all at once & using up the rest of the sparklers. Michelle was responsible for the infinity sign on the left, I was in the middle just going silly, and Cam ran around on the right and bottom left doing large and small squiggles. I recommend trying this out if you have sparklers.
