Syd's finally over her croup sickness, but the first of last week was a little sad around our house. Mills endured a couple of days of hearing Syd whine and cry, so one night I took her to Chuck E Cheese for dinner and playtime, since she loves that place. It's so overwhelming with all of the lights and sounds, she can't even focus on one game or ride for longer than 2 seconds. I don't get it, but who cares...she was happy. ;)
Summer is officially here...Syd gets pink cheeks when she's hot
Millie's first Sonic drink - a grape slush!
swing fail
This is a birthday gift and has been so awesome for both girls. We keep it indoors (mostly) and take turns chasing everyone around the house with it. Syd always puts her hands on the dash, like this. Thanks Tom & Carol!!
Another awesome bday gift (Thanks Dina & Larry!)...the girls love splashing in it and getting wet. Mills especially loves getting Syd wet, and Syd has been a pretty good sport about it.
Papa and Grandma Tricia came last weekend for Father's Day
We always have a great time with them!
Earlier this year, I asked dad to teach me how to make kabobs on the grill, since he's a master griller. We had our first lesson this weekend, and I think it went pretty well. The results were delicious.
We also celebrated JKK for Father's Day...seriously so proud and appreciative of my guy. He makes it fun around here.
It was a beautiful weekend to spend some time outside...if only I could tan like Millie...
This weekend, I also took Mills to a bday party at The Little Gym. Her selfies crack me up. She always looks a bit confused.
Hey heyyy, big girl! Syd just wanders around the patio area and prefers to stay away from the pool. I'm sure she's afraid Millie will splash her or get her wet somehow...
Mills, on the other hand, can't get enough of the pool. The wetter she is, the better.
Puffs or cheerios in her cup are her fav thing right now
Playdate at Noel's to use the big water slide...there was a terrifying humongous bumblebee that ended the water play prematurely. Mills is still talking about it two days later. She asks "why?" ALL THE TIME now. Like a hundred times a day.
Syd looks wicked cool in her suit, right?!
Syd is climbing now. It's a hard stage because we're back to having to watch her almost every second. You take your eyes off of her, and then all of a sudden, she's standing on top of the activity table (or treadmill or fireplace) dancing a little jig. I'm not kidding, when she makes it to the top, she dances.
I love this pic. Look at those little feet. <3
Things have been really fun lately. It seems like it goes in waves of good and bad around here...not really bad, just sort of not fun where everyone is cranky. But not right now...things right now are good. Millie is cracking us up with her talking and pretend play. Syd is cracking us up just simply strutting by or dancing constantly or jabbering away. And the two of them together are quite the pair. They love each other and I'm constantly amazed at Millie's patience with Syd...as well as Syd's laid back attitude with Millie's manhandling. We love these two so much...who knew that was possible?!
