It's been awhile...
Been away for a while, this summer has been crazy. We have had something going every single day since Keenan arrived in late May. I'll try to catch up on the basics, with out too much boring detail :)
First (obviously), is Branson. Just today I noticed another tooth cutting in. Of course now his fussy-hungry-screaming-getmeouttahere attitude now makes sense. He is 8 1/2 months old, and right on track with everything. He isn't quite crawling, but I think it only is frustrating to me. He scoots/pulls/creeps/rolls everywhere he wants to go. And once that kid wants something, he WILL get it. He is such a little ball of personality now. He has discovered feeding himself, and loves the idea. he hasn't quite mastered the technique yet, and I'm sure what I'm feeding him isn't helping (hearts of palm, anyone?). But he is such a trooper with a huge appetite. He eats just about anything you give him. We have him on an all organic/real food "diet". No refined sugars, except for a piece of bread or pasta here an there. Next month we will introduce chicken. He weighs just about 20 lbs, and is in 18 month clothing. If I had to pick his favorite thing right now, it would be the water. This kid is a fish I'm telling you. He loves to float, kick, laugh and play. He doesn't like being put under the water yet, and we have only done that a few times. I'm thinking I will join and mommy and me swim class this fall with him.
Our other "Child" is no longer a child. Keenan is turning 13 next month. We will be celebrating next weekend, with laser tag and burgers. He is 13 going on 30. I can't believe how fast this time has gone. Keenan is a great kid with an awesome sense of humor. No one can make me laugh quite like he can.
Ryan is working up a storm, nothing new there :) It's been nice having him work from home a lot this summer, but makes keeping the house clean nearly impossible. Take the good with the bad, right?
Keenan will be leaving the end of July, and august is pretty full for us already. Katie is having a baby shower, Branson is being baptised, and tons of birthdays share the month. September will bring a trip to Vegas, October is Ryan's birthday, and then November is packed with Branson's bday, and we will spend some time in Hawaii. Hopefully I will be on here to write before that comes up!
