18 Months....a little late :)

Well, once again, I'm behind on posting. When we moved from our house to our camper, we were so excited about all the free time we were going to have. We had images of sitting in our camping chairs under the awning and drinking root beer floats and eating ice cream......it hasn't happened yet! What a crazy busy summer we are having! It's been fun but we would like to take a moment and slow down! Camper living is going really well. The only complaint that I have is that it is hard to find time to do laundry. Other than that....we all still like each other :) and our toes have only been stepped on a few hundred times. Not bad!

We can hardly believe that we have an 18 month old! I took him to his 18 month appointment and all is going great! He is growing! He is still a little bit on the small side for weight - 25 lbs - which puts him in the 39th%tile. But he makes up for it in height - 34.5 in. which puts him in the 95%tile. The development that we have seen in him this past month has been awesome. He is communicating better and better and we are amazed by how well he talks and is even starting to say some sentences like....." I want that" His favorite new word is yeah. Now that he knows the word NO really well, its nice that now he can say yeah as well. August LOVES to jump. He thinks that it is sooo cool that he can get off the ground now! He jumps off everything you can possibly jump off of :) The most amazing thing that he has accomplished this month is swinging on the big swings....no more baby swings for August!

We had a really great visit from our friends Dan & Juliann! We had a great time catching up and shopping and hanging out with them. We are excited for their little girl to join the world in October.

Until next time.......
I went and got August's hair cut before we went to Texas and told the lady not to cut it too short....YIKES! It's short! It made him look like a 3 year old! But it grew on me and I'm really starting to like it!

Hmmmmm.....who's bigger here????


August jumping!
WOW! That is one dirty boy. This is what happens when you are wet after playing in the sprinkler and then you fall down in the dirt....it makes mud!
August loved playing in the sprinkler. Notice that he is jumping again!
Finally, a decent mommy and August picture.
August loves to eat "ereal" (cereal) and "eerios" (cheerios). Nice bed head. This was before his super short hair cut!
