Summer Wrap-Up

One word to describe this summer was "Hot!"  With record temps and record number of days above 100 it didn't take long for us to figure out where we wanted to be.  The water!  We went to the pool almost everyday and the lake every weekend.  My boys love the water.  Sawyer was amazing.  I begged for him to be in the preschool swim lessons since he was only two and he passed with flying colors.  He moved on to the 4-5 year old class and only had one skill left to master before moving on.  At two he could swim all by himself! Beau also rocked his little ring a ton.  He is super content floating in the water.

Clint did a lot of fishing for catfish at the lake and fed us well several times.  The boys and I enjoyed swimming off the dock while Clint fished.  Sawyer also got to tube for the first time.

The vegetable garden did surprisingly well considering the heat.   The boys and I also did a lot of crafts, field trips and library time.  We had a great time hanging out together.  Summer is definitely this family's favorite time of year.

Beau - Nine Months

Beau turned 9 months old on August 10th.  The month leading up to his 9th month was fairly busy.  He got his first ear infection which was horrible for him.  He also started pulling up at the beginning of the month, then finally started crawling!  Once he figured out the crawling, he was off.  He's still been talking a lot with the only discernable things are "Ma ma" and "Da Da".  He is a very sweet, lovey, and opinionated baby.

At Beau's 9 month appointment he weighed 24 lbs and was 29 inches long.  This is almost exactly the same height and weight as Sawyer at 9 months.
