Our busy days...

Blogging for me has fallen by the wayside these days. At first, I felt some frustration/guilt/obligation to it. But now I realize that there is a season for everything and this season for me is filled up with an infant daughter I am still getting to know, an almost kindergartner, and a very strong-willed 2 year old with more energy than a rocket ship. Soooooo, I am giving myself a break. I do however want to list some of the highlights from the past month.

Sam learned to ride his bike without training wheels back in February:

Jude learned to ride a "big-kid" bike with training wheels in May. He watches everything Sam does and decided that the tricycle wasn't fast enough. So we let him try the big boy bike at my parents. He loved it after he got the hang of it. Now he is all over the place, racing Sam up and down the driveway.

Naomi started rolling over in February, sitting up in April, crawling in May, and now she is standing up in her bed and along the furniture. Slow down little girl. Be my baby for a little while longer.

Sam lost his first tooth. Thank goodness Ross doesn't mind pulling teeth because I can't stand it. It gives me the heeby-jeebies.

Jude got his first skateboard (which he's been asking about for months.) He won't ever wear shoes so his little feet look like they've been through a battle. I can only imagine what he will be doing in 12 years if he's trying to skateboard at 2. X-games anyone?

Naomi is eating all kinds of new foods and liking most of them except for peas.

Sam lost his second tooth. It hurt worse than the 1st one.
Naomi went swimming for the first time in Arlington.
Jude tried his hand at fingerpainting and took it pretty seriously. The End.
