Life Happens

I've been remiss in posting updates since the first of the year, and for that I apologize. We've been busy so I'll post a summary here to get us caught up.

From March to June we had our first official session of swim lessons. Ada and I had a blast and are anticipating our next session, which starts tomorrow. We have continued to enjoy our time in MOMS Club. This year I am the coordinator for our play group and a member of the party committee. 

Ada has been growing by leaps and bounds. Since starting to walk she keeps us on the move. At her 18 month check in June she was 22 lbs and 31" tall (in the 23rd and 33rd percentiles respectively). She got her first hair cut in August (a hard step for Momma). Her signing continues to improve, and her vocabulary is growing with each day. We know colors, animal sounds and some letters and numbers (need to work on those and shapes). Her cognitive memory astounds me some days too. She can remember things and make associations fairly easy. Frequently I find her stuff animals (cat, dog and/or triceratops) eating out of the kittys' food dish in the kitchen.

I was able to return to Sea Campus Kids this summer, thanks to the help of my wonderful Beau, friends and a few new baby sitters. Upon the close of the summer I made the decision to become a Jamberry Nails Consultant (I'll spare you the sales pitch), but I'm really excited to be starting this new journey in life. Hopefully I'll do better about updating with our fall events and activities. Enjoy a few pictures from the past months.
