We've had a busy month. Some highlights were my brother's wedding and our sea kayaking/camping trip to Saddlebag Island (without the girls!). The warmer weather at the beginning of the month was been nice. The girls liked splashing in the pool and playing in the little sprinkler. Oh, and in our free time we started a business... more on that later.
Some milestones:
communication: I have counted about 27 words and signs that the girls can say. Brelynn says all of them, and Avery and Camille are only missing about 5 each. The girls are little sponges now and seem to learn something new everyday. They are all able to follow simple one step directions (sit down, get the ball) and will sometimes follow a two step command (get the doggy and give it a kiss).
motor skills: Avery started walking on 8/19 and Camille is occasionally running now. Brelynn doesn't scoot anymore, she crawls really fast to try to keep up with her sisters. All the girls love to crawl up the stairs at bedtime and naptimes. Brelynn learned how to pull to a stand on 8/15 and I often find her standing in her crib. She is hesitantly cruising on furniture, but only when mom or dad are really close by.
teething: Avery has 4 top teeth and just cut her third bottom one. Brelynn has 2 top and 2 bottom. Camille has 2 bottom.
sleeping: the girls are still sleeping about 13 hours at night and taking two naps a day. The morning nap is usually 2 hours and the afternoon is usually 1 1/2 hours. I'm such a lucky mommy!
We went for a walk and slightly tresspassed to get into this cool field with the giant hay bales. The girls did well and sat eating animal crackers, but I thought for sure they would fall off these bales and hurt themselves. You gotta do what you gotta do to get the photo, right?
What an awesome picture!
