I am not sure why I just can't keep up with the blog...I used to enjoy doing it nearly every day or at least once a week but for some reason it seems so hard to me. I feel so bad for not keeping up with baby girl the way I did LM but it's just overwhelming but just for the family I will hit the highlights. We have had sucha busy summer. After G cut the tip of her finger off in a baby gate she had surgery , has been recuperating beautifully and has a nice little pink nub and even a nail growing on it. She was such a trooper and still has been but sometimes reminds us to "be caful" with her finger.
School ended for LM and I cried my eyes out like a baby because I have grown to love that place mostly because he loves it and the teachers are so nurturing and wonderful. What a blessing to have found it! But both my little munchkins will be there next year and that poor preschool won't know what hit it with G although it's so familiar to her now she will do just fine. I will be a wreck on that first day they both get dropped off together.
Miss G changing so fast --in just a few short months my sweet baby has turned into a full fledged tall toddler. She is talking so much...but her favorite thing to say is No of courseand to copy anything her brother says which are nice words like "butt" and such. We're working on that and trying ot expand her vocabulary a little more ;) Both are swimming like fish, diving off the diving board, underwater and the works .....mostly with swimmies on but sometimes not so I hope by the end of summer they will be ready to do it all on their own.
Miss G has a complete mind of her own. She does what she wants and just is so pretty. I am partial but when she's that stinking cute it's hard to stay mad at her for long. The relationship between the two of them is coming along and having more sweet moments than before. Mind you not more sweet moments than I want to claw your eyes out moments but it's getting there. Starting to play together and enjoy each other a little more. She tells me "don't talk a me" which is don't talk to me when I am tryhing to correct her or she gets in trouble. Copies everything he says and another favorite is "ummm, i don knowwwww".
Daddy is in and out a lot these days and it makes for long weeks but plenty to do for summer. Fall will be hard as we gear up for yet another long deployment. I am so grateful that this time it's not boots on ground somewhere in Afghanistan --that means less sleepless nights worrying. The kids are adjusting ok but everytime he leaves the first few days LM wakes up w/ nightmares or just upset but then settles down.
We've had quite the exciting summer already even with a couple surgeries to boot with G.'s finger and my appendix.....but so much fun in between all of that we didn't notice too much. Now we begin new injections for Beau to help with his arthritis and give him a little relief to give hima little more quality of life these last few months or so. Will post pictures soon.....
