A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

So, we told Avery that she was amazing because, well, we think she is. Since our little darling picks everything up these days, she now loves telling us she's amazing:)!! Being a big sister has really brought out another side of Avery, one that we are very much enjoying!!

Since we have told Avery that she's too big to ride in Spencer's swing, she thought she would put her stuffed animals in for a ride instead:)

We are really starting to see changes in Spencer's development lately. He's starting to sit up pretty well in his exersaucer-which Avery loves as much as him because she loves to "show him" how to do all of the activities and play with all the toys!

Artie's dad got Avery this awesome sprinkler for her birthday-since her birthday is 2 months away (OMG, Avery will be 2 in two months, I just had a moment!!), he gave it to her a bit early to enjoy the rest of the summer with...and you all know my little water lover, she ran right to it! Pardon the blurry pic...when the sprinkler first came on, it got the camera.

She was squealing in this picture, having so much fun running through the water.

Daddy decided to get in on the water fun with her. Well, he really had no choice once Avery found out how much fun it was to have daddy lift her in the air above the sprinkler!

Having so much fun going down the slide in her pool...it was over 90 degrees here today, I'd say she was beating the heat in a very cool way:)

Domer even ran through the sprinkler a bit...look at that cute face, he was listening to mommy tell him we were about to give him a haircut (and we did)!

No fun day would be complete without a temper tantrum to finish it off and tell mommy and daddy it's nap time!!-which, she ended up taking almost a 4 hour nap after this:)

An amazingly hot Sunday was capped off with a little ice cream...as Avery would say-mmmm, "nummy"!!:)

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and you found your own 'amazing' ways to beat the heat:)

That sprinkler is great. Looks like Avery had a terrific time in the water.

Spencer is getting so big. You can tell in his pictures he is much more alert and curious. So cute.

Glad you guys found ways to stay cool this weekend.

I love that photo of Spencer in the activity center; Colten absolutely loves playing in his! He is getting cuter by the day - speaking of cute, Avery is just beautiful and that sprinkler ball looks like so much fun! Next time I want to see you in on the action : > Love you!

Can Avery come and teach Dylan that water is not scary?!? He wants nothing to do with it... even the baths sometimes which he used to love! It makes me so sad b/c we have the coolest water toy! Guess there's always next summer!

Love the temper tantrum also- we are getting our fair share of those these days too!

Spencer is looking great too!
