Summer Smiles with Daddy!
Seeing as i last left off updating my blog 4 months ago, life has certainly moved forward quickly in that short time. With a 1 year old, 4 months is like an eternity of missing out on documenting milestones. So how to begin, on catching up on what we've already left behind. Guess i'll start by going over each month. Summer and Fall, being a very busy time of year, had lots going on. So i'll post each month and hopefully can remember what all i've missed out on writing about. So......here we go!
August:
The end of August brought close to pool time. Ashlyn got very good at swimming confidently on her own with her life vest on. She'd jump off the side, go under and try to touch the bottom, and did awesome kicking and paddling. Pretty awesome for an almost 3 year old with no lessons. I think we will certainly get swim classes on the calendar for next summer. We've started prepping lots for what to expect when school starts. There is more excitement than anxiety from her regarding school. She's got my olive skin, the girl sure can rock an awesome tan!
Austin is cruising a ton, but still not showing much interest in wanting to take steps. I am certainly ok with that, as i'm in no rush to have another little one to run after. His first and favorite word is Dog, and he is saying it all the time. Points out Bailey, and every dog he sees and gets excited. If only I could get Matt to feel the same excitement for dogs:) He has a little mischievous side, i think he enjoys being told no a little too much....laughs and laughs then tries to do it again! Takes after his sister in that aspect. He loves to look and point at books, and as always.....smile!!
Brotherly/Sisterly Love is the best. Big, tan, fun summer smiles
