And the living is easy. We've been having a very relaxing summer, doing all sorts of fun things. Miles has been in daily swim lessons for the last 3 weeks and has 1 more week to go. He can swim the length of the pool with only a noodle supporting him and jumps in with much enthusiasm (and splashing). He's getting better about putting his head under. He'll do it, but it's very quick. In class they tossed rings on the bottom for the kids to retrieve and Miles used his toes to grab it. Even bribing with a cupcake didn't entice him to reach down and grab it. But he wasn't wearing goggles on those tries, so maybe next time he'll try harder.
Audrey is dying to get in the water herself. She sits in her stroller, watching & waving to "Miy!". We've been going to the baby pool after lessons and she loves splashing around. She will walk all around the 1' deep area and last time was trying to put her face in the water. Brave girl. She's really opening up, showing us some of who she'll be. She talks A.LOT. I started making a list of the words she says: da-deeee!, bite, cup, nigh-nigh, ohm (home), hive (five for high five), snhoo (shoe, not sure how to phonetically write her sound, it's sort of a snort), huh-bo (hair bow). Oh yes, hair bow. She is quite a fashionista, very into her accessories. She loves her bows, hats, sunglasses and has started her bag collection. And forget about trying to talk on the phone around her, she must have it.
Miles is still a goofball...
This is not Audrey screaming. This is Audrey letting us know that she's ready for another bite of dinner.
We had a fun July 4th, with our friends
Jen & Davey, Elise & Daniel and Janna & Rob visiting. Miles got to hold his first sparkler and stayed up waaaaaaay past bedtime. Of course he was still wide awake at 6:30am, no rest for the weary.
Anyway we just had our Saturday family lunch at Chick Fil A and they had about 20 big trucks in their parking lot for the kids to climb in. Miles walked around checking them out, and we got in the
Icebears' touring bus and a recycling truck before it was time to go eat.
