It's time for a much overdue blog about life! We're enjoying summer, and while I've been decent about keeping up with big events, there's always lots of little stuff that's good to remember too :)
Ryan's growing up so fast! How is that we have a kid old enough to play soccer?? He's talking so well and is very conversational. One of his favorite things to do is "let's talk silly stuff!" We play it in the car and it's as simple as it sounds. We take turns making up crazy things like 82 purple giraffes jumping over the moon; that'd be silly! He also enjoys playing "I see (spy) with my little eye" while we are driving. He dresses himself now, loves to ride his bike, enjoys playing games on Daddy's new smart phone, and is becoming a swimming fiend! He jumps from the side, walks on the bottom, loves being thrown, and is getting almost too confident in the water :) We still have to be within arm's reach since he can't quite swim, but he tests his limits a little more every time we go. His favorite TV shows are Diego, Dora, and WonderPets. He loves to eat lunch outside under the umbrella for shade, prefers riding in the wagon over walking, and can spot a playground from a mile away. Over summer, he doesn't have any set activities, but he'll be in preschool three days a week in the fall and we'll find out more about speech the first week of school (which starts Aug 1st in our county, craziness!!).
Abby is in the wonderful one phase and it is wonderful indeed. Everything is new and exciting and fun, and it's so fun and exciting to watch her exploring and learning. She takes one nap now, about two hours each afternoon. She LOVES milk and has eight teeth. She is constantly getting into something and her poor knees have been skinned all summer long. She climbs everything and especially loves getting up on to chairs. She has beautiful blonde curls and huge blue eyes that earn compliments from just about everyone we meet. She enjoys swinging on the playset, climbing the ladder, and sliding down. She thinks her big brother hung the moon and tries to do everything he does, which is pretty stressful when that's something like jumping in the swimming pool :) She tries to pet every "da" (dog) we see and likes to play with any "ba" (ball). Her words aren't all there, but she definitely knows what she is saying. She still drops the ll on ball, but will walk right up to it and say "ba" so it still counts as a word in my opinion! She also says "du" when she sees a duck. Her "buh-buh" with a backwards wave will melt your heart. I am predicting "hi" will be her next word; I think I've heard it once or twice, but am not 100% sure quite yet. She has been sleeping with stuffed animals recently and is so sweet carrying around her baby doll or stuffed dog.
We are so super blessed to have the best kids ever, and to have our boy and girl so we can experience all sorts of fun. I love our family and I love that I am able to stay at home with our kids and watch them grow. Thank you Coleson for supporting us and taking care of us!
