The Girl

Our girl still is....sugar and spice and everything, just like they said she would be.


Some of my favorite things she says are:

The Moon!  I see the moon!

If you park under the tree a bird will poop on your car.

I get my fingers painted when I stop sucking my thumb.

She's quite the little mama to her baby brother and her baby dolls.  She likes to have a doll sit next to her in the doll high chair while she's eating.  She talks to them and puts them to bed.

If she's left unattended for too long, I can most always find her playing in the bathroom sink.  She gives me the deer in the headlight look when I start talking about droughts and not wasting water. ;)

She has really gotten into all things girly-princess-jewlry and I cannot really figure out how...but her current favorite is Sophia the First.

She has been sleeping on her rug in floor of her room.  My attempts to figure out why have been unsuccessful.
Mom: Why are you sleeping in the floor?  Do you not like your bed?
Em: I like my bed and I like the floor.
Mom: Is something wrong with your bed?
Em: Daddy put my pillow on the bed. Levi put my pillow on the bed. YOU put my pillow on the bed. I want my pillow on the floor.

K Prep

School started.  We are slowly adjusting. God gives good gifts.


First Convocation-

NINE months

How did this happen??



Our little buddy spends his days eating and climbing and smiling.  Mostly eating bits of junk from the floor and little toys.  Standing up in his high chair, even though he is buckled.


 

Pulling himself up to a stand and cruising on the furniture.


Height: 2'3.48"
Weight: 18lb 8.7oz

8 months

He's eight months old and time is flying!

He sits unassisted and without falling over.  He goes from laying down to sitting up easily.  He is full on hands and knees crawling!  Pulling up on everything he can.  Whoa.  I'm not prepared.



He has a new face-he scrunches his little nose up and smiles so wide.  It's a favorite of everyone's.  He's kinda doing it in the above photo.

7 months

Our little guy turned seven months in a land far from home at PawPaw's and Gramzee's house!



He did great on his first flight and has adjusted to a hot and humid climate quite nicely.

He's sitting for bits of time but falls right over.  Still on the move but quite hands and knees crawling.

People comment quite frequently about how happy he is.  He just smiles all the day.

He started eating avocados and bananas!

He has teeth!  His bottom left tooth popped through July 8 and the right one came about 2 weeks later.

July 4th


First 4th of July

Happy 4th!

Patriotic

The main event 

Our girl sure enjoyed the fireworks.  When they started she said, "That going to wake up my baby."  Then excitedly, "I see purple!" (Purple is her current favorite color.) Later, she turned around to me and said, "That so pretty, Mama."

Off to bed for our little star and monster firecracker.

Family Camp 2015

This was our second year to join our church at family camp and we are already excited about next year!

Learning new tricks-


Sticks galore!



First year for the zip line!  This guy had to go with an adult and he and his Daddy went FOUR times the first day and twice the next.  He loved it and is already talking about next year...when he can go by himself.


While Bubs and Daddy were swinging through the trees, this girl took an almost four hour nap.  Sweet thing.


These two-


This delightful guy was there, too, just living the dream.



Sweet boy.


And, about five minutes into the drive home...
