Busy, Busy

So, yes we're busy, but I'm tired of making excuses when it comes to the blog. I have no idea how to make up the lost time, so we'll just continue with what's current. Here is an update on each of the kids.

LUCY - She is getting bigger and sweeter each day! She is 7 months old (can you believe it?) and is absolutely perfect in every way. Yes, I might be a little biased. She is so big. At her 6 month check-up, she was barely shy of 20 pounds and in the 95% for both weight and length. She is a growing girl! She is eating baby food now for 3 meals a day and is loving it. She still has no teeth, which is totally bazarre considering Henry had his first tooth at 4 months and a mouth full before he was 1. I guess it's true...each child is completely different and at their own pace. She sits and plays all day! She is a wonderful baby and is starting to say some words now, too. She said Da da as her first word a few weeks ago and shortly followed up with Ma ma, which she typically only says when she's crying. She has said bye bye a few times, but never really on que. Lucy's hair is finally filling in and is looking pretty thick. She is an angel and we love watching her grow and learn each day!

HENRY - He is such a mess...a precious, precious mess! Each day is different, as is with most 2 year olds. He is loveable and loves to give his "big hugs", which he counts down before he give them. (so cute) He is really a sweet boy, and surely has a wild side when he gets together with his cousin, Oliver. Whew! Those 2 will keep us on our toes for YEARS! Henry has his days where I find myself counting down the day until naptime and bedtime, but he really is a good boy. He loves school and is missing it this summer. We are trying to fill our days with good playtime, but with this crazy occassional raining days, it's challenging to find good outside time.

We have stayed so busy with hosting our Sunday School class party, spending time at grandparents houses, having playdates with friends, and now planning Anderson's 30th birthday party. It will be (and has been) a busy summer, but we definitely find time for pj days! I'll upload pictures soon and have a picture post, but wanted to give a basic update on the kiddos before too much time is lost.
