Summer's Here!

Well, I would apologize for being late once again with the blog post, but my dad always told me not to say it if I didn't mean it...

We've had a busy second half of June. Summer finally arrived so we've been doing some swimming and hanging around outside.

Garrett's grandma actually passed away as well, so we had lots of family around. We got to see his older brothers and their families as well as some extended family and Kami got to hang out with her cousins. She had to spend some time recuperating from that, but she seems to have recovered.

Brooklyn is all over the place with crawling and pulling up on everything. She's a babbler and knows "mama" and "dada." She's a big fan of eating and would rather be eating with a fork on her own like everyone else. She double-fists Cheerios, is a bit of a mama's girl, and loves to chase Kami around. Kami loves to be chased and chase her baby sister, tries to pick her up (ack!), and is thrilled that it's finally warm enough to go swimming.

Enjoy the pictures and I'll try harder to have the next post done as soon as we get back from pre-teen camp. Promise!

Some more of Kami's bathtub drawings:

Some of Kami's friends...Uncle Nicky is on the right. Can't you tell?

More friends, with Aunt Patsy on the right.

and Dada with "Brook-y."

Kami loves "pa-nake-y time!" It comes from the book, "Pajama Time," by Sandra Boynton.

Kami watering Grandma and Papa's plants.

Brooklyn's two rad pontytails.

"What you talkin' 'bout Willis?"

Kami may not have read that infants need to be rear-facing...she loves to take her babies all around with her. Granted, I usually end up carrying them for her, but it's cute.

Kami wearing some of her Nonny's jewelry.

Driving home one night, here's what I saw. Hope Kami likes Dada's car, because it'll be hers in about 13 years...

Like Pavlov's dogs, Brooklyn was trained to put her hands up in the air when I yelled, "GOAL!" Kami thought it was "gold," and it got the same result.

And she loves to clap! Sweet girl!

Love those girls! Glad to see you are careful about making sure Kami's baby dolls are wearing a seatbelt! Safety First!
