July 2012

So the month of July went way too fast - just like every other month of every year!!  I can not believe that in less than 2 months, Shea and Wes will be two years old.  We had a great fourth of July spent at the Ekborg house on the 3rd and our Neighborhood party on the 4th.  Shea and Wes loved the fireworks and except for one little crying spell (more from surprise than anything), they did great with them.

























July also brought cousin Sage's First Birthday in Des Moines - We had a great day Celebrating - but the ride home reminded us why we do not currently take long trips.  I can not wait until they like taking longer trips so we can go on some family vacations!!



Shea and Wes also enjoy Cereal with Milk now!!



We have spent lots of time outside even with the hot (in the 100's with no rain!!) weather.  Shea and Wes usually wake up from nap yelling POOL, POOL.  They know where their pool diapers are kept as they are different from their regular ones and can get them themselves now as Wes can open doors :)  We also have had two sets of baby birds in our tree.  Shea and Wes call them "tweet tweet" and loved to look at them all the time.









Shea and Wes continue to learn more and more words daily.  Wes is so smart and loves to look at books and tell you what everything is.  They also have gone to daycare a couple times the last two weeks and daycare is impressed with how talkative and well behaved they are. Wes has a heart of gold.  He always wants Shea Shea and gets her her blanket, drink, etc all the time - he is just such a thoughtful little man.  Shea tends to think about herself - she loves Wes but is always on the go.  They both always want the other one right when they wake up and get upset if the other isn't up yet.  They can both say Wes know.  They also love "P" and "Biggie" to death.  Porter puts up with it very well, Winston on the other hand wants nothing to do with it.  Their favorite t.v. show is Caillou.  They are obsessed with Caillou.  They also love trains and we just got the GeoTrax train set and they love it!!  They play with it so well.  They also love to dance and play "Ring around the rosies" we all play it together and it is the cutest when Shea and Wes play it together. 

Children's Museum

Shea, Wes, and I went to the Children's museum with Cousin Connor and Chloe (to help keep an eye on them for me!!) and had a great time.  There is so much to do there and Shea and Wes always have a good time.  We just got a family membership so we can go all the time (although it requires at least 2 adults to keep track of them)  Shea and Wes loved the Carousel!!
