10 months old

Another month has gone by in the blink of an eye!  Somehow this crazy haired, happy baby girl is 10 months old.  She is silly and happy and just so fun to be around.  She is taking two naps a day (when we let her fit it in), and sleeps from about 7:30-7:30 at night.  She loves baby food, yogurt, puffs, and veggie straws.  She is getting better with a sippy cup which is good news because she will not take a bottle anymore! She still loves her sisters the most!  It is fun to see the differences in her relationships with them.  She smiles at and cuddles with Emmerson and is SO silly with Claire.  As soon as she sees her she starts laughing and trying to get her attention.  She loves to swim and be outside.  She waves, claps, stands, and is ALL over the place!  She says: Hi, bye-bye, night-night, Dada, mama, and dog.  


Sweet girl! Thankfully she loves her stroller because we are on the go a lot!


She loves being outside and chews on anything she can get her hands on!


She has figured out how to peek out of her bed at her sisters!  All 3 of them think it is SO funny!


To say she is mobile is an understatement.  She is all over the place and finds herself in some interesting positions.  




She points at everything so she went crazy at the zoo!  Pointing and waving at all the animals. 


Everyone asks if she ever cries...we joke that she must not cry enough because we think this is the cutest face ever!


Sweet, sweet baby girl!

June FUN

June flew by as we knew it would.  We were busy as ever between normal life, swim lessons, tennis, the pool, and just summer fun!  As crazy as some days were we enjoyed all of it!


Just enjoying some warm weather!


These two...If they stop playing long enough to sit down they are always cuddled up together! 


We have been able to spend lots of time with Quinn and Marin.  The babies love looking at each other. 


and the big girls LOVE playing together.




We spend as much time outside as possible.




Claire has a new love for the sprinkler. 






Audrey just loves watching it all.




We have been spending lots of time at the pool.  Audrey and Quinn love it too.  






The amount of dress up has not slowed in the least! 


Claire loves to play with Audrey on the floor.


There was a tornado warning the other day which meant Mom was lucky enough to wake everyone up and take them to the basement...during nap time.  The girls thought it was great because we never let them go down there!


We went to a neighborhood cookout and Emmerson's buddy Jack talked her into trying some steak.  She loved it!  


Emmerson went to VBS at her new school last week.  She really liked it and made a friend that learned how to play songs from Frozen for her.  




Claire and Audrey missed Emme so much while she was at VBS.  This was Audrey squealing with delight when we picked her up!


A day at the zoo


We have been able to spend time with Jack and Carter too!


The whole clan headed to Butler.


Audrey loves Carter's passie!



We still spend plenty of time at Butler.  Summer is the best!  We have campus to ourselves.  



and by bedtime we have VERY tired kids! 

Swim lessons

Both big girls took swim lessons at Butler the whole month of June.  Their teachers gave them the push they needed.  I would call Emmerson a swimmer and Claire made lots of progress too.  Here are some pictures from the lessons.















Backyard fun with the Baldwins

Our friends are moving to Arizona.  They will be missed so we had a final night in their backyard!


The night ended with lots of yummy treats!







The whole gang (minus baby Jack) out for dinner!


Tennis

Emmerson took tennis lessons again this year through Washington Township.  She really liked it and hopes to do it again next year. 


All ready for her first day.


Some action shots.
