Some much to tell so little time

I had surgery recently which has left me unable to lift the girls. That's been a bit of a challenge but life goes on and they continue to grow and thrive whether I am healthy or not. Trying to catch up all that is going on will be hard to do but I am going to try.

Father's Day

One of the coolest things about Miss C getting older is I can ask her what she thinks or wants. That is what I did for Father's Day. I asked her what she wanted to get her Daddy for Father's Day and she picked a baseball glove so she could play catch with her Daddy.

This is the sweetest thing to me. To me it shows she gets how important baseball is to her dad and she wants to be a part of that. So, for Father's Day we got SP a Dora baseball glove and ball so they could play catch.

No longer a baby

It's official. Miss R has moved to the toddler room at her school. She is no longer considered a baby to them but she will always be a baby to me.

She is walking more and now her not walking is just a matter of choice because she can walk. I think she realizes she can get their quicker right now by crawling so she does that instead.

She is a vocal girl. VOCAL. Lots of grunting and hollaring and pointing to what she wants. I am surprised she isn't talking because she very much knows what she wants, and she wants it. I can only imagine what the future is going to be like because my girl is very head strong and opinionated at 13 months.

For her birthday Aunt Pat got her a bunch of books. She LOVES them. LOVES them. It's hilarious to see her with a book because she will jibber jabber like she is reading. And she loves those books. When she sees one she grunts her desire for it and happiness to see it. Then she opens the book and pretends to read them laughing and grunting all the way.

I just find her to be so full of life and energy and personality. I thought Miss C was all of those things, and she is, but then you have Miss R who will not get left behind among all these strong personalities. I love her. Just love every ounce of her.

Of course, when she refuses to lay down so I can change her I get frustrated beyond belief but I still love her.

Play time

Now that it's finally stopped raining we are able to play outside more. Miss R loves the pool and has absolutely no fear. Miss C loves having all the kids come over and play.

Strawberries

We had a wonderful time picking strawberries despite the hot weather. The girls loved eating fresh strawberries.
