swimming and milestones

I am such a proud mommy! Both of my kids are growing so fast and achieving so much so fast it is hard to keep up. I will start with Taylie. Her newest achievements revolve around the pool:

I am so proud of her! She loves to swim and now she is so proud cause she can do it all by herself... with the assistance of water wings!


and parental supervision of course...

On to Lucas: He is starting to come around to the pool. We actually got a few smiles out of him on this last trip. He is tolerating the outdoors for about 20 minutes before he decides that he has had it and throws a fit. He is getting better slowly but surely. I refuse to have a kids who wants to be indoors all the time. He will grow into it I am sure.

gotta love those 2 little teeth he sprouted

The biggest update on Luke is that he had a very productive 4th of July weekend. Over the course of 4 days he went from rolling over from back to tummy (which is old news) but what he decided he could do from there was go from tummy to pulling his knees up under him,AND going from that position to sitting on his bum, AND then adding crawling on top of it. But he is not done yet, he also started to pull himself up on furniture and stools and things! Like I said, he had quite a productive 4 days.


he is now pretty darn quick and can very effectively chase after Talylie. She ran down the hall and around the corner to her room and he is following!


he always peeks around the corner to see if she is coming back before he goes any further. You know how fast she moves, he runs a serious risk of being run over!


Before I could sit down and take a picture of him standing up, he plopped down, crawled over and tried to grab my camera. I think this is pretty cute anyway!
