Sawyer loved finding things to get into...she is the sweetest thing. She is now running like a crazy child. Not sure if you can really call it running yet, but it is so funny to watch she and Sydney chase each other around. She also runs away from us when we try to take something away from her...case in point below...the markers...she found them. Trouble.
Sydney loves camp so much. She will talk about going to the lake all of the time. Now that she has been on the boat this season, we hear about it even more!
Jim had to be up at camp early on Saturday morning because of the annual clean-up day. I had to shoot a wedding so I was running around the house getting ready, getting stuff ready for the babysitter, making them food for the day...crazy morning. Not 5 minutes after he left, the phone rings. He told me about a huge garage sale right down the road. He said there were a ton of toys and large Little Tykes, Step 2, etc stuff for sale. One item in particular that caught his eye was a Cozy Coupe car. The girls tend to argue over the one that we have, so he thought I should get another. The girls and I literally hopped in the car right away (7 am...really) and went to look. We bought a car, a doll bassinet, a slide and another kitchen set. I immediately spotted the kitchen set and thought how they would love to have one at camp also. They play with the one that Nana and Pap Pap bought them all of the time. Needless to say, they were so excited when I brought the "new to us" kitchen set to camp.
Whether it is at home or at camp, I always find the girls watching daddy from the dining room window. Here they are watching daddy doing yard work from the dining area. So cute. These pictures will probably always be my favorites because they are just sweet moments.
Soybean is super tall (96th percentile tall) and she can now climb on the trike all by herself. She can even touch both petals. Barely, but she can get herself to move backwards slightly. Getting so big.
We took the boat out yesterday for a few hours. The girls had so much fun.
No matter where we are, this little lady finds buttons to push. She didn't want to sit still while the boat was moving. The only place she was happy to sit was on Daddy's lap. It was really cute. She even fell asleep in his arms. Any time that I tried to take her to let her nap in my arms, she would fuss and walk back to daddy!
Anyone who knows Sydney knows that the littlest things make her happy. Buses, trucks, bugs, animals, etc. Seeing boats on the lake makes her so happy. She will point to a boat and scream with excitement, "Boat, see it, see another one." I love to watch her admire her surroundings.
Jim had to secure the boat to the dock for the season so the girls and I sat in the boat and waited for him. They loved watching him get in the water to secure the chains and lines. Sydney kept asking if Daddy was ok. I told her that he was fine. It was warm sitting in the boat so I started to hang the girls over the edge of the boat to put their feet in. I got yapped at the first time or two but after that, they yapped at me when I didn't dip their feet in fast enough! My upper back was sore enough from shooting a wedding on Saturday so it is even more tired today!
We stopped at one our camp friends' house on our way up the hill. The family has a four year old girl and Sydney and Sawyer had so much fun playing with her. I will post a picture of this little beauty as soon as I get permission from her parents. Here is Sawyer playing with bubbles and rocks on their patio.
What a great weekend. I love how much these little ladies adjust to changes. We made another big change this weekend. We put the girls in the same room together at camp. they did wonderfully. Last season Sawyer was so little that we kept the pack n play right outside our bedroom on the first floor. Now that she is older, we thought putting them together upstairs in their room would be the smart thing to do. We were so pleased with how much they adjusted. The first couple of minutes were upsetting to Sawyer. I sat right outside of their bedroom door to make sure she would settle. My heart swelled when I heard Sydney telling her "Shhh, no scared. Mommy gots you, Daddy gots you." Aw, she was trying to soothe her little sister! Love these girls.
