1. Celebrated the 4th of July weekend with The Diesen and Gaines' Families. We had a great time watching the kids throw pops and light sparklers. Blake was unimpressed by all the commotion and was more interested in sleeping.
2. We went to the Magic House on July 4th. Lauren thoroughly enjoyed it and is asking to go back already! We got there a little too late for her to do everything. Blake was unimpressed by it all but that's okay. Lauren was too scared to do the ball that makes your hair stand on end so Blake and I did it instead!
3. More get togethers with friends. We have been fortunate to visit with many of our friends and family this past week. We enjoyed the day in Red Bud last Sunday with the Heller Family. This Sunday we spend time with Bradleys High School friends and welcomed the Casey Family visiting from Arizona.
4. Blake has taken up the art of "biting it" on the floor regularly. He gets to crawling so fast that he falls and ends up biting his lip! Poor little guy has had two bloody lips in the past week!
5. Blake has moved on from his fascination with floor registers to climbing up to see out of windows and pulling up on anything that might support him! He's also figured out some of him push toys now so watch out world! It's amazing just how fast he can crawl and move when his big sister is chasing him!
6. Blake turned 10 months old! Wow where did the time go. He marked his special day by getting an ear infection. Fun, fun. I just hope this will end his 3 week long fever that we've been fighting. This topped off the week of him biting me each time I tried to nurse him. Needless to say we are weaning now. He doesn't even want a bottle - only a sippy cup. I guess I should be happy but it's kind of bittersweet actually....
7. Alice in Wonderland - We went to see the local kids production of this on Friday night. Lauren LOVED it and wants to be in the kids musical that our county puts on every year as soon as she's able - age 6!
8. Blake is a true farm boy. He dearly loves to ride on the tractor! Whenever Grandpa Floyd is over visiting he gets a ride which he thinks is great. Big sister Lauren follows behind on her John Deere power tractor which is very cute to see.
9. Lauren started a week of swim lessons. She even went off the diving board today by herself! I'm so proud of her. She's making progress each day and I hope by the end of the summer we might get her swimming!
10. It's County Fair time. We attended the Clinton County Fair parade last night. Grandma Vernitta walked in the parade with her work group so we went to watch and catch lots of candy.
We plan on visiting the fair sometime this week and then wrapping up the week by traveling to Grandma and Grandpa Bartlow's to attend kids day at the Hancock County Fair! Then just one more month until the state fair!
