Catching Up

We hadn't updated the blog for a while so I thought I should catch up. AnLi started back to Montessori last week, so we've just been getting back into our routine. Carli will start preschool August 21st. In the meantime, we've been having occupational therapy and speech therapy during the week. Carli is making HUGE progress on the eating/chewing front. I about cried when she had her first chicken McNugget. Whenever she gets a new food, she dances around, hops, jumps, you name it. She gets pretty excited, too.

We've mostly just been playing on the huge slide/swimming pool. I'm actually glad we couldn't return it now. Yes, I've had to eat my words! The girls have had so much fun playing on it every afternoon.

A Helping Hand

And it wouldn't be summer without corn on the cob!
Carli REALLY wanted some corn on the cob, but it was a little too much.

We cut it off the cob and she, of course, loved it.

Carli is infatuated with long hair. She's always touching AnLi's or mine. She actually puts leggings on her head so that she can have ponytails. Now that her hair is long enough, we're able to put a couple pigtails in. She LOVES them! She can't stop looking at herself in the mirror, huge grin, dancing and jumping around. It's so cute!

Here she is sporting her new 'do with a powered doughnut mustache.
We went out to Doug and Julie's new place. Dustin gave AnLi a little fishing rod to play with. Brian tied a twig on the end of it so she could practice casting. She was very, very serious as she was concentrating so hard. She got really good!
