Nate's Birthday and a Cubs game

Yummy Caramel corn


Enjoying a drink at the game





Last Saturday was Nate's birthday and it just so happened that the Cubs, his favorite baseball team was in town. So we went up with his family and had a great lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and went to the game. It was Alyssa and Mason's first MLB game and I think Alyssa enjoyed the food more than the game. Mason was great even though he doesn't look very thrilled in the pictures. The Cubs lost :( But at least they didn't get slaughtered like they did the night before. Happy #29 Nate!

Pool Time!

It's been hot the last couple days so we've been spending a little time in the water.


Mason's first time in the pool. He really seemed to like it.

Mason 3 months

This was my attempt at a 3 month photo shoot.....






Super happy guy!
This is a classic mason face




Take look at the hair!



I have a picture of Alyssa standing at the bath tub at 3 months, so I thought I'd see if he could do it. He's a pretty sturdy little guy.


Mason is growing like CRAZY! He has been going through a big growth spurt and I think he's gained a pound in the last week and a half. I will be glad when the growth spurt is over so that maybe he will sleep a little longer at night. Getting up twice during the night is reminding me of the first two weeks and I'm tired. So how long do these growth spurts last? Will he be a good sleeper again? He is a sweetie though. He's laughing and giggling a lot now and is very entertained by Alyssa. Alyssa has been playing with him a lot and tries to calm him down when he's fussy, it's really cute to see them interact. He is attempting to roll over and spends a lot of time laying on his side. He went in the pool for the first time this week and I think he liked it. He didn't cry at least. He still won't take a bottle but I'm not going to give up. I really want to be able to take advantage of all our babysitters. We love having a baby around, it's just so fun! We love our little boy!!

sick

Alyssa woke up not feeling well yesterday. She had a tummy ache and a low fever, I thought it was just a little bug but she kept getting worse even on motrin. Her fever was 103.6 on medicine, usually the medicine helps a little. Then she started complaining about a sore throat so I got a flashlight and took a look. Her throat was covered in little tiny red dots and was really red overall. I took her to urgent care and it looks like she has strep. It's a bummer being sick in the summer :( Nobody wants to be stuck inside. Luckily we got her medicine last night so she is feeling much better today. Hopefully the rest of us will stay healthy.

Goodbye Friends!

We had our first little party with some of our good friends last week, and unfortunately it was a good bye party. They are all Nate's friends from high school(and my friends too) and we have all kept up over the years, some of us moving away and coming back and now moving away. We are so bummed that the Haag's are leaving as soon as we move back, but we hope you guys love it in Orlando and I'm sure you'll have a few visitors :)

*Isn't this a great pic?! I mean, everyone is actually looking at the camera! This may be a first.

Our house

Here are a few pics of our house. We are really enjoying it here. We have so much space, a great yard, great view and great neighbors. I don't have any pictures of Mason's room yet, he must have been napping when I took them.
