summertime

So we have had a good summer thus far, trying to enjoy the nice days. We have gone on a bunch of walks, bike rides, zoo trips here are a few pics from the 5 k we did in June the Heart for Life this was our first time doing it but Becky and the girls have been doing it for a few years now, and it raises money for heart disease and is great for awareness. Jimmy pushed Aaron and I pushed Erica for the race, of course jimmy beat me by 8 mins. oh well! We went to the arboretum which I have not been too before and it was great, Erica had a good time! We will be going again this weekend for a bike ride.

Aaron almost 9 mos

Aaron is almost nine months but the key month has been 8. He has progressed so much this past month I can't believe he is only going to be 9 mos. We did have his appointment this week as well with Erica and like his sister he is maintaining his growth at 28 7/8 in 25-25% in ht and then 18.3oz 10-15%. He has been eating his foods well and trying table foods like chicken, waffles, pancakes, bananas, watermelon etc. He is doing a lot of babbling and making noises with his tongue, he has his two bottom teeth, poor little guy did not like teething. He is pulling up standing, walking along furniture and now he has mde it all the way up the stairs! he tried to turn around and go down head first though - YIKES! Way to much mobility for such a little guy, I was hoping to not have to worry about walking until closer to a year but who knows! Here is our little stinker by the stairs.

we went for a short bike ride after doing some adjusting of the helmuts, aaron did not like the bumps so erica held his hand- so cute!

Erica 2 years old

Erica is now 2, happy birthday to you! We had a party for her but sadly it rained almost all day. It did clear up for fireworks though which she did stay up to watch, she was not afraid at all. She got some great toys and clothes for her birthday I am wondering where I am going to put everything though so my house does not look like a toy bomb all the time. At Ericas 2 year apppointment she is consistent on her growth chart barely hanging on in the weight category at about 23 lbs - 5th% and 31 1/2 - 25% .
