Winding Down Summer

Our little walker..

Still loving the mermaid shirt

lil' artist

Not loving sharing...

Already doing it herself

Somehow sweet potatoes are always better on your face.

Could wear the tutu every day!

Summer Girls

I feel like I've been playing catch up on posting all summer. The girls are doing great and so much fun right now. Claire is walking more and more steps at a time-which is still nuts to me! She will climb on anything and LOVES Harper. She will squeal so loud at her! I just plunk them both in the bathtub & they love it. Claire usually goes under once because she is lightning fast and doesn't seem to realize that she isn't a fish. She hasn't started babbling dada/baba/etc yet, but is starting to make a sound I can't describe...and the squeals. She is using it for communication. A for instance is when I get her out of the tub first & leave Harper to play for a few minutes...the whole time I'm putting on her pjs, she is making a series of screams to Harper and seemingly laughing at my attempt to dress her whilst she twist and turns on the changing table. It is pretty funny. 



A few weeks ago...she can grab those puffs and shove them in her mouth now. Also loves those biter bars-they are soooooo messy! But if it keeps her entertained long enough for me to eat dinner, so be it! 

Harper is gettting SO big! 


Claire's first trip to the beach.

Ready! 





I'm sure this was more squealing! 

The Accessorator

She fed any animal that would eat a pellet...

Beach love

Sweets make her very happy! We called this one Big Ali (It's an elephant)

So, August is winding down and we are finally feeling settled into the new house. Ken and I actually went out Friday night. It was great to visit with friends and go to a concert! Getting ready for some football and cooler temps!

Acting like a big kid

Just a little play time on the playground before dinner. Have I mentioned that we have a playground right out our front door? It's fantastic!

When I picked Claire up from school yesterday she had a little shiner on her left eye. Apparently, she took FIVE steps before crashing into a toy. She is so fast! Luckily, it looks better already today.

This evening, I had her sitting on the countertop while we were unpacking groceries, when she just stood up and walked right over to ken. Crazy!!! This is getting fun!

Terrific Twos

Harper is such a big girl! She's loving her new class at preschool & is very proud of her artwork each day.

Moving!

Growing!

Claire has had a big day! 8 month shots this morning, and took 3 steps at school! Can't wait to get home and do some more walking!

Obsessed

We have been watching Annie a LOT these days. Harper dances and sings & I think it's so cute!

Claire is eight months old!

I can't believe how the time has flown by. Here are our girls taking a little break at the gulf shores zoo. It was sooooo hot!
