Austin, you are such a big boy this month. We finished nursing this month. I was sad but it was the best thing for both of us. I do love when I give you a bottle you just rest your head on my shoulder and look up at me. I love that you love to snuggle. You have really started showing affection to your blankets. Looks like your lovie will be your blankets just like sissy. I am so glad that you ditched your passie and thumbs months ago so we don't have to deal with all that.
Hello motor skills. You have really been gaining control of gross and fine motor skills. You follow me around the house and pull up on everything. You learned to clap and shake your head no. You have started to cruise around the furniture. You love to play 'near' Evey and just being where ever she is, but you also enjoy playing by yourself for a little bit at a time. I love your easy going personality. You are the happiest, sweetest thing ever. We love you.
What are you guys doing out there?

Couple of weeks ago, we went to the County Fair benefiting the
Youth for Tomorrow. We had a really good time. We had a rough time getting started...Evey would not go on any of the bounce houses (there were like 20 to 30 different ones). We came to one that wasn't very busy so I carried her in and bounced with her and she was hooked.

So there was a giant shark slide, it was actually hard work climbing the steps, of course I am out of shape. So I had to go first and show Evey is was okay. Once she saw me come down, she was all in. It was really fun.
Cars theme slide she did all by herself.
There were a couple of monster trucks there

We got a couple of these for Evey. She loves them. I like that you don't have to "install" them, they just slip on the switch. Very cool product.

Austin has been busy this past month. He learned how to crawl. He is loving his new mobility. Evey is adjusting to his interest in her "stuff." He is talking and babbling a lot more and expanding his sounds daily. He has tried tons of new foods this month. Black beans, cinnamon with sweet potatoes, cloves with squash, green beans, strawberries, pasta, so far he likes everything!
Some things I love about this little guy. He still loves to cuddle. I loved that he lays his sweet head on my shoulder a lot. Sometimes when he is nursing, he reaches up and touches my face. I love that he shows he is excited to see you and kicks waves his arms.
Height: 28" 38%
Weight: 20lbs 8ozs 48%
Head: 47cm 89%
We are ready for some football!
Where are you, Evey?

Evey started her new school this week. She did really well adjusting. She is a little hesitant when I drop her off in the morning, but really happy when I pick her up. She says that she likes it. They are supper organized, lots of handouts about what is going on. We get copies of the lesson plans for each week and they will be learning Spanish words with their daily lessons. So far Mommy is very happy with it. We will see if it continues.
Looking Studious
She just started doing this..we haven't even been working with
her on it but she has got it down. Just in time for football season!

We had a relaxed and eventful weekend. We headed to the pool on Friday after school with friends. Last Floaty Friday of the summer. Saturday was the neighborhood cookout and outdoor movie, Willie Wonka (the first one). I don't have any pictures. But it was really fun...food was awesome. James smoked some brisket...it was so yummy even though he doesn't think so.
Sunday, we just hung out with Daddy before he had to leave for a work trip.
Monday, we played out in the cul-de-sac all day.
Homemade sidewalk paint
Picnic Lunch
Sprinklers
And the summer finally, cotton candy and snow cones! Good times!
