Happy Father's Day, Jason! Jason went with Josh, Stephanie, Grandad, Tio Omar and Dylan out fishing this morning. They didn't catch much but they did have fun. Everyone came back to our house for a cookout (the wee ones were sleeping) and then Amy brought their slip and slide and that was a winner. Mira and Noella didn't go down it much but Joshua, Stephanie and Dylan had a blast. We loaded them up with pie and ice cream and then headed over to the pool for a swim. And here is the part that made my day, maybe my month... Joshua SWAM! I mean, went under the water, kicked his legs, moved his arms and swam. I am so proud of him. He has done great this year and we are only a few weeks into the swimming season. We try and go every day at least for a little while. Evelyn likes floating in the infant boat we have and Mira does, too. They are all little fishies!
Evelyn had her 9 mos check up a week and a half ago. She is growing and developing right on track. At 20 lb (exactly) she is 95th for height and 75th for weight. She is in 12-18 mos clothing now. Mira, weighed in at 25 lbs. We weighed her just for fun. She did have a growth spurt this past spring and is now in 24 mos-2T clothing.
Evie now has 5 teeth (as of last weekend), she babbles and likes to play peek-a-boo. She also eats everything in site and gets so excited when she sees food. She can sometimes use a fork and drinks water from a sippy cup. She is pulling to standing but not very interested in cruising. She gets around very well by crawling.
Mira is a take charge kind of gal. She is often the center of attention these days. No one seems to think that she will suffer from 'middle child syndrome'. I love my outgoing, cuddling baby girl but WOW the twos have been hard on her.
All the kids did great on our recent trip down to Athens/Atlanta, Georgia. We took two days to drive down staying with friends in Winston-Salem, NC on the way and a hotel on the way back. We enjoyed meeting all sorts of cousins from my Dad's side of the family and had Friday evening through Sunday morning to hang out and get to know them all. We were even able to squeeze in a visit with one set of Evie's Godparents, Reagan & David, in Atlanta. The drive home was long but we did stop at a crazy park called, Dinosaur Land in VA, on the drive home.
Well- bedtime is calling. Off to another busy week!
