Quick Update On What's Been Happening

Just a quick update on a couple of things...

It is HOT not hot but damn HOT and you can't even avoid it by getting up early. I got up at 6:30 Saturday to finish some yard work and it was already HOT. All I needed was some soap and I could have showered outside. I will officially go on record and join the chorus of everyone else by saying "In all my years, I don't remember it being this hot." It also reminds me of Adrian Cronauer in Good Morning Vietnam.

Wyatt started rolling over (back to stomach) about two weeks ago and now isn't much interested in staying on his back but he isn't real happy about being on his stomach except for sleeping. He loves to sleep on his stomach. I know this is breaking about every parenting rule but unless we tie him down to the bed he isn't going to sleep on his back. Over the weekend he rolled from his stomach to his back, so he is starting to figure things out.

Wyatt has started eating foods. We started with the rice cereal and are moving to veggies this week. He is starting to get the hang of eating and taking in more than runs down his bib. He is growing up so fast.

Aubrey is now fearless of the water. We started the summer just using swimmies or water wings and she wasn't quite ready for them. They required mommy and daddy to hold her to keep her from sinking. It was a struggle to keep her mouth out of the water. She was drinking all the pool water and to be honest, I am pretty sure that's what she wanted to do anyway. We recently purchased a puddle jumper life jacket after trying Caroline 2's out. It worked out much better and after a couple of sessions of getting used to it, she is wide open now. Last week during Nanny camp, she went to the lake and wore LA out in the water and she wore LA out at the water park at Wanamaker and ran around and up and down the slides so much that she had blisters on her toes. The official confirmation of her not being scared of the water came on Sunday when she was jumping off the side of the pool into the deep end and trying to dive with her cousins. Now all she will say is "I want to go to lake/water park/Pops pool".

Summer is coming to a close. It is hard to imagine but LA's only got two weeks until she starts back at school. That is going to be a hard transition for everyone, 5:00 is going to come early for mommy and daddy and 6:00 is going to be early for Aubrey and Wyatt.
