Words

What a fun start to summer, so much going on.  Words.  That's been the theme this past month, and they are spilling out of Liddy's mouth like CRAZY.  So far, here are Lydia's words:

Mommy, Daddy, Uh-Oh, Bird, Dog, Ball, and Mine (I wonder where she learned that one!).

Liddy and Elanor are really starting to play together as well.  They got a basketball hoop the other week and Ella will actually lower the hoop for Lydia to dunk a ball...so adorable.


Elanor is also learning words, but she is learning to WRITE words.  Below, you can see she can now write her name!  A very proud moment for Mommy to see this.


In addition to all the learning we are continuing to run, laugh and have fun together.  We went to a birthday part at the beach yesterday.  It was the first birthday party where the girls were invited because they are friends with the birthday girl, not because Mommy & Daddy are friends with their Mommy & Daddy.  It was so fun to see Ella with her friends...below are Ella, Piper (left), and Maeve (the birthday girl on the right).  


And Lydia had fun too.  This beach was so amazing, sand and sun without too much of a drive, so I am hoping we will be back a few times this summer.


Oh, and Lydia ate about 3/4 of a watermelon...we had to have them lined up ready for her to keep eating so the rind didn't end up in her belly.


Can they please just stay this age forever?!?  They are so cute!
