Summer is Here

Well, I guess it's not officially Summer yet, but we're supposed to hit triple digit temperatures next week so it definitely feels like Summer!

So, what's been going on over here lately...Charlotte still loves to pull up and stand on everything in sight, but in the past couple days, she's been letting go and just standing there, I guess that means we're well on our way to walking, but it's still scary and a little sad...she's not even 10 months old yet! She still has one tooth that hasn't cut through yet, but she has a total of 7 teeth now...and she LOVES to bite my shoulder, it's great. Last Sunday, in class, there was another little baby girl in there that was a little older than Charlotte, and at the end of class, I give them Cheerios until we're done and that little girl was trying to be nice and share, and she reached over to put one in Charlotte's mouth and I'm pretty sure she bit her finger...I felt horrible.

Timothy is still being Timothy as usual, he's becoming a little more interested in using the potty, and he definitely knows what to do...I make him change his own wet diapers now, which he doesn't really like, so he would rather wear underwear. He went for three hours keeping himself dry the other day, my goal is to be diaper-free by Christmas! After that, we're going to tackle the thumb sucking. He says the funniest things and I always think, oh I'll have to blog about that, but then I forget them...he's definitely becoming quite perceptive though, last night we were getting them ready for bed and he heard our neighbor start mowing his grass and he turned and said, "Mommy, our neighbor is mowing his lawn now?" It was like having a little adult! We're starting to work on recognizing and writing letters, he's doing really well so far! He discovered the reptile house at the zoo this week and loved it, so now we have to talk about the snakes...I really hate snakes...oh well!

And, not like anyone cares that much, but Brandon and I are doing fine as well. Brandon's job is keeping him really busy and he found out he will have to start working over time from July through September, I'm not really looking forward to that because I love his Friday's off as much as he does, but the kids and I have some trips planned to keep us busy. We all leave in two weeks for Gulf Shores for our summer vacation. I can't wait, I've already started packing.

That's pretty much it for now...I don't have many new pictures to post, but here's what I could find! These are from a few weeks ago when we were out one night washing the car.
