Summer Fun and Naked Vacuuming

Ah...The fun days of summer.  Since I am off work, it feels like a real summer.  As a working adult, summer just isn't the same since you still go to work Monday through Friday.  It's fun to enjoy summer a little bit without having to go to work.
Max enjoys cereal out of a snack cup and milk in a sippy cup each morning when he climbs into bed with Peter and I and plays on his iPad.  His favorite cereal is "crunchies" (Cap'N Crunch Berries).  They are the WORST, crummiest cereal ever!  This is often what we find left behind in our bed - tiny crumbs everywhere.





I had a stroke of genius this morning because I was OVER the crumbs.  I went and got the never-used dust buster and put Max to work.  Sure he had no clothes on but hey, he was excited to vacuum.  :)  It worked great!

Nachos with sloppy joe meat for lunch.  YUMMY!!!!



Emmalyn actually looking at the mobile above her swing.

We had a picnic outside for dinner.  
This is what good summers are made of - - - - 
less clothes
being outdoors
grilled burgers and corn
fresh fruit and veggies





Look how clean Peter's cob is - he's got a talent when it comes to eating corn.

My cob is much more messy

He fell asleep self-soothing by playing with his nipples.  Wonder how old he will be when he grows out of this...?

I cleaned my washing machine for the first time ever.  We've had it for nearly 10 years.  I had no idea you should clean it but it makes sense.  It looked awesome when I was done!

Sweetly swaddled and sleeping

Good morning sunshine!

She's got HAIRY ears.  Hopefully she loses that before she starts dating.  I call them her gorilla ears.

At the athletic center swimming with us and the Mejias!  She spent her time in the shade.

But she did wear her swimming suit!

Max tried wearing a life vest for the first time.  He had to sort of relearn how to swim, which was funny to watch.  He caught on though and did great!


The new fan switch (on the left) that I got Peter for our anniversary.  This is how it looked installed.  I love it!

Sneaky little hand snuck out

Emmalyn had her first shower this week.  She had an incredible blow out and Peter happened to be in the shower so I just put her in the shower and took everything off and cleaned her up.  She loved it just like she loved baths (I was so nervous Peter would drop her!).

Max definitely loves Emmalyn and loves kissing her.  He knows he needs to be soft with her but the truth is that he is still a danger to her.  He is too young to understand fully how strong he is and how fragile she is.  He hasn't hurt her but I watch them closely, it would be awful if he ended up accidentally hurting her. 

When Max is talking he has trouble with the "th"so "three" comes out "free" and "this" is "dis".  He also has troubles with his "L"s so "like" is "wike" and "yellow" is "yewwo".  I wasn't sure if I should be worried so I asked our friend Jess, who is a speech teacher and she said that's completely normal at his age.  Whew!
