August Days

We have enjoyed this summer. On Wednesdays, I babysit my neighbors kids: Austin, who just turned 3 and Brooklyn who is turning 1 on September 11th. While Brooklyn sleeps, we get to go outside and have fun in the sun. Now I'm stuck thinking of what to do while she sleeps in the morning when it gets cold outside. Here's a fun story about this picture- I asked Austin if he wanted an otter pop and he replied, "yeah". A few moments passed and you could tell he was thinking really hard. He looked up and said, "What's a water pop?" :) Needless to say, he liked "water" pops!

Gigi loves "Soes", or at least that's how she says it. It's "Soes, soes, soes" all day long!


Magnetic letters = fun for hours

Self-feeding at mealtime = fun for hours, or at least 30 minutes or so

She just started doing this thing where she tenses up everything until she starts to shake and pulls her shoulders up as high as she can and pulls her neck back. We laughed so much at her the first time, she just kept doing it. Here's a picture of her doing it. You can't really tell, but she is very rigid in this picture.

Last weekend we made it up to Richmond to visit with the Taylor's North and visit Paige's grave. Thanks to Aaron and Teresa for entertaining us, making us dinner and roasting smores with us.

When it snows outside...you can bring snow in for the kids to play with. I just put it on a cookie sheet, put gloves on the kids and let them play. They love it!!

Oh my cuteness Gigi. I need a good dose of the both of you.
