Ahhh...I can't believe it is near the end of August?! It is so definitely true that time flies faster with each passing year. We have been busy since our return home from our trip. We have been to SeaWorld twice (I think), Llano once, seen all the cousins, and were in Lexington visiting my sister's family this past weekend. Somewhere in between all of that we had a few virus filled days in our household with Cambry getting the worst of it!!!
We are definitely ready for school to start back up and get into the swing of things, and I think Colten's pretty ready too. He has had several "moments" this summer wearing his mama down, but I think he's just itching to get back into some kind of social environment. Me too!!!
Cambry's great, just growing and determined she's twice her age and not afraid to let you know it. She is talking so much more now and very responsive and can mostly let us know what she wants at this point (so helpful)!!! She is signing more, especially "eat" when she's hungry. She will nod and shake her head for yes and no and makes an attempt to say them. She loves Rah-lee (our dog Riley) from a distance and gets so excited to see him, but a little anxious when he's right up in her face. She bolts to the door when Caleb gets home and over and over will say "hi da-dee" until she is picked up. My absolute favorite, though, is when she is looking for something or you ask her to find something and when she does she exclaims "there it is" (or close to it) so happily. She loves meeting strangers (especially in the grocery store) and will wave and say "hi" or "bye-bye" to almost everyone.
Colten is sooo into everything BOY these days...especially Transformers, G.I. Joe's and cowboys. So, I asked him recently "Colten, what are girls better at than boys?" (since it seemed not much in his eyes). His immediate response was "making lists and cooking salads". Wow, we have so much going for us ladies!!!
