May-June-July 2010

Hello Hello.............

So hard to keep up with this since we don't have Internet and Im not working this summer.......glad to finally be able to put up some pictures.

What's new with Mia........

She is now 7 1/2 months old

weighs 23.6 lbs

she can "gimme 5"

Almost do "so big" by herself

eats veggies and fruits.......prefers veggies over fruits.....weirdo!

Loves to play with rattles and absolutely ANYTHING she can get her hands on....then it goes right to her mouth

she sleeps through the night

still needs oatmeal cereal in all her bottles but we go back to Children's next month to see if we can take some out...hopefully she has improved

sometimes can hold her own bottle

she was baptised on June 20th.....those pictures were on my other camera that i forgot to bring to upload......next time i guess

She loves to play patty cake and so big

she can skooch herself around a little but hates to be on her knees.....no crawling yet

loves to jump all the time......in her jumper, saucer and whenever she is being held

Gavin Gavin Gavin......

talking up a storm........seriously never stops labeling things and asking questions

has a lot of energy for running and jumping where-ever we go

can count to 10 by himself......can count to 20 with help

can almost say the entire alphabet by himself

loves to sing the song "deep in jungle"

he knows that he is two but will continue to tell you he is 5 if you ask him

is still obsessed with Mia.....always kissing, hugging and helping her

favorite food is definitely yogurt and "pa-tots" (pop tarts)

Would go swimming or play with the hose every single day because he loves water

he is also learning to use his pedals on his bike to move him around

Whenever somebody leaves, gavin always tells them "good-bye and come back"

When gavin thinks that you did a good job at something whether it be eating your food, carrying something or even just talking to him he will tell you "good job" and be very excited about it!!

This accidentally got deleted from the 4th of July picture portion and i love it so much that i had to add it in at the top!! I think Mia looks like a chubby little old lady that hates the beach :)

Gavin was such a good swimmer.....definitely need to think about getting him into swimming lessons to gain some more skills to put behind his "no fear" thinking

Mia doesn't look like she enjoyed swimming for the first time but she sat in the lake for a good half hour so she really did

gavin is trying to dive into the water

ready to swim

random pic from the fair that i forgot to add earlier.....gavin loved the animal barns

First time watching the fireworks.....gavin kept shouting "again" when one would end and we were waiting for another

Mia decided to sleep instead of watch fireworks
