Some Summer Pictures

Here are some highlights from June 2010.  Leila is a doll...I absolutely love when she wears these rain boots!  She has such a personality...happy go lucky to whiney.  The whining usually happens in the evening when we are both home.  She loves personal attention but what kid doesn't?

















Gavin popped through his two new front teeth and now sports 4 teeth!

















The next few are Miss Leila showing off her many personalities.

Mr. Gavin...always full of smiles!

The last time they rode in these car seats and they both fell asleep!

Gavin started walking more than crawling this month.  He is always on the go but always full of smiles for mom.

Checking out their new car seats!  Gavin got Leila's convertible seat and Leila got a new forward facing seat.  Apparently its fun to play with your feet while in a car seat in the living room :)

First car ride in their new seats.  I can honestly say I don't understand people who say forward facing their kid makes the car ride easier.  Now Leila bugs me all the time.  Go Mommy.  Go faster Mommy.  What are you doing Mommy.  Where we going Mommy.  I kind of liked when she couldn't see anything except the sky and trees out her window!

What is summer without a few swims in the pool?

And it's always more fun to have four cooks in the kitchen!

A Doe and her fawn came to visit us one morning.  The doe stayed back while the fawn came out to check out the yard.  The fawn made it almost to the front yard before noticing me in the window and slowly it walked back down the path to find mom.

And sprinkler fun on a really hot day.  Leila wasn't too sure about the sprinkler and spent more time stomping in the little mud puddles than running through the sprinkler.

Gavin learned how to crinkle his face...one of the cutest little faces.

Pigtails and a big girl cup!  Leila finally has enough hair to have pigtails.  She asks for them a lot but it's not long before she is pulling them out.  We also tried giving her only cups so we could wean her off of sippy cups but that failed on us.  She was upset that Gavin got a sippy cup and that she couldn't bring her cup in the living room.

Leila loves helping.  Dishes, cooking, baking, laundry, sweeping...anything you are doing she wants to help with.  Even though Gavin doesn't need help holding a bottle she has to help feed him.  Its cute at first but then it turns into "Gavins done" or "Gavin has to burp" or "I have to see how much is left" or "Gavin needs more"...you get what I mean.  And Gavin is left crying because he just wants to hold that darn bottle and feed himself!
