Summer has flown by! I can't believe it is already September and fall is quickly approaching! Lucky for us, our neighborhood pool stays open till October 12 so we have a little bit longer to have some pool fun!
We have had a crazy busy past couple months as usual. Here are a few of the places we went and things we did: Chi-fil-a Cow Appreciation Day, Ellington Ag Center, Splash Pad in Downtown Nashville, Williamson County Fair, Bowling Green, Lake Rabun (TWICE), Babyland General (Birth place of the Cabbage Patch Kid), Goats on the Roof, the neighborhood pool, the Science Center, The Zoo, puppet show at the downtown library, The Y, Sky High Sports, Bounce U, and many many more!When you have an almost 3 year old with us much energy as Hudson, the key is to keep them busy!
It is crazy to see how much the girls have grown up and changed over just the past two months. Here are few pictures of our adventures!
They love this "boat"...aka - tray off the ottoman
Fun at the Splash pad
Sobes picking some veggies at the County fair
Hudson insisted we ride on the roller coaster...clearly she loved it!
I feel good about this boat captain...
Lots of fun cousin time this summer...LOVE!
She is officially playing soccer!
SueSue, her girls and treats from Hall's
Riding the Ski trainer!
As you can see the girls have had a great summer! Here are few updates on what they have been up to.
Sullivan:
She had her 15 month check-up today and everything looked great. She weighs 25 lbs, 9.5 oz (85%) and is 32 3/4 in long (96%)
She still eats like a champion and just last week at the lake she ate a rib down to the bone...I mean it was CLEAN!
She is still our sleeper too - Thank goodness. Last week in Atlanta, she slept till 11:15 EST! Amazing! But she always gets 12-13 hours a night!
She is finally learning sign language and can now sign: more, please, thank you, milk and all done
She is talking more and more everyday. Some of her new words include: mama, dada, snack, dog, ball and Makers
She also recently started nodding her head for 'yes' and 'no' and it is pretty cute
She tries to do everything the big kids do including running which is even cuter to see those chunky little legs try to keep up with everyone!
She is finally getting used to going to school and only cries for a second during drop off. She goes to Mother's Day Out twice a week and The Academy twice a week and seems to have fun once I leave and she settles down.
She recently got 4 molars and is about to get her bottom pointy teeth as I call them.
She is pretty funny and I have a feeling it won't be long before she starts beating up on Hudson!
Hudson:
She is one tall little lady. I am not sure exactly how tall but let's just say she looks more like a 4 year old than a 2 year old.
She still eats really well too so I am hoping we will skip right over the picky phase (although I know it is coming)
She is playing soccer at First Presbyterian Church and is really liking it. We have had 1 game and while she didn't participate the whole time (due to a middle of the game potty break) she did stick it out to the end which is more than I can say for 4 of our players who went home crying! She is the youngest on the team by a year, so I am proud of her for even being out there. She even did one throw-in and one kick-off. She also scored the first 2 goals of the game (for the other team...) but I guess at this age - a goal is a goal!
She LOVES school. She also goes to Mother's Day Out twice a week and The Academy twice a week. She just moved up a class at the Academy and has a blast every day!
She is still a fish and loves to swim and can even swim without a life jacket. She loves to run and jump in and swim back to the wall or stairs. We only let her do it when one of us is in the water with her but she is getting really good at it.
On our last trip to the lake, we bribed her to ride the ski trainer. At first she only did it for the blow pop prize, but as you can see in the video below, she asked to get back on it with her blow pop. She even asked to go again two more times last weekend. We can't get her to stand up yet but next summer for sure!
That is about all for now. Here are all the pictures from our adventures. There are a lot so fair warning!
