So, it's been a while......

These pictures are from the end of spring and early summer. Of course, a lot has changed, but at this time we were just getting to start to enjoy the outside. Weather was getting better and Van and Riley love being outdoors! Van was sitting up at this time, but still hadn't rolled over and no sign of any teeth. Riley was well into gymnastics and loving it! She followed instructions really well and absolutely loved the class. It also started helping her understand and notice the different days of the week. She started asking lots of questions about where she went each day and why she she to get up earlier on some days. Of course, in true Riley fashion, she asks 5000 times a day "Where am I going tomorrow?" and then "Where am I going the other tomorrow?" Eventually, we just followed up with "I don't know. Where are you going tomorrow?" She answered her own question every time. I'd love to say that she only did that for a few months, but that would be a lie. She still does it 100's of times a days. Van refused to roll over, won't grow teeth, but was sitting up really well on his own late this last spring. He was eating baby food on a regular basis and loved all of it. We also discovered that he wants to try everything. EVERYTHING. He will try and food you give him (soft food only). He loves beans and real veggies and fruit. We are hoping this will help guide him towards being a better eater.

We have all been doing great! It's nothing but crazy around here and I don't get much time for anything other than running the house and working, but I hear it's all worth it in the end. I'm holding thought on to that for dear life!

P.S. Riley still loves Justin Beiber and has requested to change her name to Riley Beiber. Van has a lamby that he can't live without and sometimes he get embarrassed when other boys see he needs it to sleep or calm down.
