Hey everyone! July is a busy month in our home, lots of visitors and a Princess birthday! Gracie turned 3 on July 26th and we had a "princess party" for her in our backyard. I never knew there was so much princess stuff out there! She had a blast opening up princess-themed presents including a scooter, Cinderella's castle complete with princesses and a coordinating princes etc, books, bed covers and pillows, coloring books (she even got the big crayola crayon box!), and princess tackle box! Gracie just finished level 1 swim class and is practicing kicks, blowing bubbles, bobbing, and alternating arm movements. She will probably take the same class again to master these skills, plus I am thinking of dance and gymnastics too! The girl needs a lot of areas to harness her energy!
Max is in the midst of his fourth ear infection, this time with a perforated eardrum to boot! Poor kid! He seems to handle it well, though! He is getting very mobile. He has started to commando crawl- and boy is he fast (you have to be if you want to chase after Gracie!) - his poor knees and elbows are covered with rug-burns (again, doesn't seem to slow him down!). He is also sitting up, moving a few "steps" in quadruped; transitioning between quadruped and sitting, pulling to stand on everything and playing in tall knees with support! He makes quite a mess of his diaper basket as he is now able to get it out from under the coffee table and pull all of the diapers and wipes out! We have to get him some boy interaction, though, he has been very busy playing with princesses with his sister!! Guess that is okay though!
Anyway, it's been a busy July and August so far. I am off to Seattle next weekend leaving Luke home alone with the kids!!! After that we are just excited to be heading to NM in September for a visit with Orie (Max and Gracie's newest cousin)! Hope that everyone has a fabulous remainder of the summer!
