Summer?

While the rest of the country bakes in hot, humid temperatures, we are having a cool summer -- this will explain the jackets in some of the pictures!

Jadyn continues to love playing at parks, with family and friends.  She also likes to kick a soccer ball around -- she seems like a natural dribbler!

When Jadyn is playing, Joseph is typically hanging out in the stroller....

 

Jadyn has continued to remain very interested in puzzles, and this one has some math as well.  Fun stuff!

 

She also really likes to draw, write, and spell.  She has very elaborate stories about her sketches, too.  We try to write some of that stuff down when she tells us, but we don't always capture it well before she is off to the next thing that grabs her attention!

Just this week she started writing her name on her art.  And she has shown interest in typing, too, and when prompted was able to type her full name.

 


Joseph has become interested in putting things into his mouth and grabbing his toes.  One day a colleague brought in her son's Bumbo chair, and Joseph really enjoyed sitting upright.  Too bad he can't yet do that on his own!  Joseph also has quite a voice -- squealing and shrieking repeatedly to get our attention and speak his mind.  He hates being left alone, preferring instead to be in the middle of any social event.  He has started "fighting" his naps and going to sleep for the night, as if there is so much more for him to experience and be a part of than a boring ol' snooze.  As we recall from our first experience through this, he is right on schedule!

 

And we never tire of seeing Jadyn and Joseph enjoy each other....

 

 

 

 




Stay tuned for more "summer" adventures!
