Good Summer!

This last month has been very difficult but a lot of fun! Bekah has been transitioning to a scheduled day. It was hard because she was so used to eating and sleeping whenever she wanted, but it had gotten to the point where each were very short cycles which was rather annoying. After a couple hard weeks I can now say she is on a predictable schedule and it works well for all of us! It was worth the hard work! Bekah has been so active these days! She is crawling everywhere backwards. She gets mad though because she ends up not where she wants to be! She is eating anything we let her! She loves food with texture especially cheerios! Last month Bekah got a sinus infection and ended up on antibiotics. Once she started the medicine she quit eating. After 2 weeks of not eating we went to the dr and she had lost 10 ounces. We were worried but later realized she had gotten constipated! Now she is eating like a machine and gaining weight again! We are so happy to have our happy girl back again! Bekah also got her first two teeth at 7 months old. She looks cute with her new teeth! We are waiting for the next ones to come! Bekah is such a sweet girl and I am hoping months 8-9 are much easier than 7-8 was!

Ryan turned 2 last month!! She had so much fun at her birthday party! She had a sesame street birthday and thought nothing could be better. We had family and the Mercer's come. Ryan loves her friends Abby and John! Ryan has still been working on potty training. One week she does perfectly, but then the next week she quits trying. She is very defiant and we are working on dealing with this! She gets it from me! This last week Scott built Ryan her new big girl bed! It is so cute and Ryan just loves it! She thinks she is so big because she can get in and out of it on her own. She picked yellow and purple sheets for it! She loves going to bed so she can sleep in it! Ryan has dealt with some fears this summer like rain, bugs, flowers..you name it. She seems to have overcome them all and likes to play outside again. She loves to swim in Ms Barbara's pool! She is doing so well swimming on her own now! She cant get enough! We are having fun with our girls this summer and can't believe it is going so fast!
