Another month has come and gone, and it was for sure a hot one! The girls are getting so big, and running all over the place. (A lot different than this time last year, when they weren't even rolling over yet!) Normally, I enjoy summer and flip flop weather, but this year it has been quite unbearable (108 degrees this week)! The girls and I all have cabin fever, which I used to think only happened in the winter. What's a Mom to do?
Our summer fun is limited to what I can do with the girls by myself. I would, of course, love to take them to the pool everyday...but that's just not a good idea by myself. Instead, we've been reading LOTS of books, playing with their ballpit, playing with blocks, and
trying to learn new words. One of the cutest things that the girls have started doing this month is show each other affection! We say "give sissy hugs and kisses" or "give sissy love" and they will go to each other. Usually they end up trying to kiss or put their heads together (a sort of "baby hug"). It's adorable! They are also starting to share and trade toys...which is amazing! I worked at a daycare in high school and college, and never saw little ones this young share. What can I say, my kids are gifted! ;-)
We also broke out the baby pool again, which didn't go well the first time (Madi refused to get in). This time was MUCH more successful. They both LOVED it :-)
We also went to Little Monkey Business for the first time. We had never been there before, and I didn't really know what to expect. It was geared more towards bigger kids (maybe 3 or 4 and up), but they had a small play area for kids the girls' age. My little monkeys had lots of fun climbing into, onto, and around everything that was set up. I'm sure we will make another trip out there soon!
My babies are becoming little girls!
