Today's Thoughts

The summer heat is upon us but it hasn't stopped Leo! He has been more active then ever these past few weeks. He loves playing with his car, trike and all his sporting equipment outside and when it is time to cool off and come inside his favorite is to sit and watch Thomas while playing with his cars, such a boy! I really do  treasure this age with him, he is becoming more understanding of listening to Mommy and Daddy and he is so caring/protective of Lily right now. He still has his stubborn moments for sure! He still fights us pretty hard on his naps but bedtime he sleeps like a champ (if he has the right pajama's on) He is VERY big on picking out his own clothes right now which leads to some pretty interesting outfits! He also keeps going back and forth between calling me mommy or "hoddie" He should have never learned my name was Holly! It is pretty funny when He hears me talk to Mike and refers to him as "Michael". 

Relaxing after a long hard day.

He can't just have one yogurt

Lily also is enjoying the summer sun even though we haven't broke her of the pool yet, she hates cold water! I am sure by summers end she will have become a fish, no worries. She's almost mobile, she likes making a circle while she lays on her belly but no crawling yet...she is almost 11 months should I be worried!? She IS a talker though, its all babble and "dada" but she is so intense! She lets you know whats on her mind for sure. She also has the stubborn gene in her because the girl is in love with her bottles but only has a sweet tooth when it comes to food, applesauce and vanilla yogurt are my only successes so far. She did stomach a few carrots last week but I believe that was a fluke. We try to feed her everything at this point but she pierces her lips so tight nothing is going through!

Look at the attitude she is giving!

Oh you are so funny Mama!

Last summer the days seem to drag on and on (it might have been because I was in my third trimester with Lily) BUT living next to the clinic I can't not say it enough how much of a blessing it is! Leo sees Mike every few hours we play outside more often and overall it just is so relaxed and I seem to get more accomplished around the house. I have my "I want to pull my hair out" moments but not nearly as much as I did through the fall...the babies are getting older also and I have found a routine that works. I love watching them play together and my favorite is when we are driving in the car and they are talking and laughing with one another, very sweet! 

Look who is all grown up!

Slushie to beat the heat!

Happy Weekend!
