June-July 2012

June and July have been filled with vacation, swim team, gymnastics, soccer, basketball, Vacation Bible School and movies.  


Carissa has done well just going with the flow despite all the interruptions to her normal schedule.  She is down to one nap a day on most days, is starting to feed herself with a spoon, her favorite foods are goldfish, bananas and applesauce, loves puzzles, books, balls, and dancing!


These are things she is saying:
uh oh
no no
hi
nana (banana)
mil (milk)
dada
mama
ba (ball)
bu (book)
bite
dedo (her blanket)
nigh-nigh
bye and bye-bye
e-mo (Elmo)
Ky (Kyle)
pa: plane


She has said a few 2 word phrases:  "want bite", "hi dada", "bye dada"

1st Basketball Game!

Kyle had his first basketball game on June 23rd.  He loved playing!  His team won 12-4.  Kyle did not score this game, but he did very well with dribbling and passing the ball!

Sisters

Carissa did everything to get Chloe to pay attention to her....patted her, stepped on her, sat on her, played with her foot, but the hug is what did it.  Chloe loves it when her baby sister gives her hugs.:)
