Iowa trip 1

Celia, after her first night in the tent. She slept very well that night.













Here is Nyla on the slip and slide.

Yay, we finally sold the condo! They closed on it today. It was hard to get too excited about it before today since someone made an offer and then couldn't get a loan back in May. Anyway we are very excited. Maybe now we can start planning that trip to Disney World.

what other 6 mo old can wear pigtails?

Where's the N?

Nyla knows her ABC's, but when she sings them she often forgets the N. I asked her where the N goes in the alphabet, hoping to get her realize she forgot it and then put it in there. She told me it goes at the end right before Z. She Thinks it's Y N Z instead of Y and Z. I guess she doesn't think the N needs to be in there twice.

We have been reading Fancy Nancy books with Nyla lately. The books teach vocabulary by saying that something is a fancy word for something else. She has learned all kinds of fancy words. Yesterday at Kohl's she asked me, while holding out a dress " Mommy, what do you think of this dazzling gown?"

Celia's 6-month appointment

Celia went to the doctor today, and received compliments on her long blond hair from the nurse. Weight: 16 pounds, 3 ounces (75th percentile); length: 27 inches (90th percentile); head circumference: 44 cm (75th percentile).

So apparently she's a tall baby. She also had to get three shots, which she was not fond of.
