Whee!

July is almost over...so much has been happening, and yet, a bunch of nothing has gone on, too. The hilights of this month are:

Elias' 2nd birthday - so much fun! He even blew out his own birthday candle, then promptly burst into tears. Now he's obsessed with watching the video & blowing out candles.

Jacob is still scootering around, and now pulling up on everything. Every so often he will take a tentative step, so it won't be long before he's fully mobile.

We've had to move Elias into another carseat, because Jacob has pretty much outgrown his pumpkin seat. So, new carseats for both boys, and the backseat of the Accordian is getting smaller and smaller...I see a 3 row SUV in my future.

We're in the process of replacing the fascia on our house, in hopes of getting gutters installed before it rains too much. This means lots of Saturdays & evenings with Zach outside, banging away.

Still trying to hop on board the potty train...Elias has discovered how the play the song on his potty (which should only sound when he uses said potty) by just pushing the button. No peepee in the potty yet.

Jacob has really started being more vocal - I think he's even said 'mama' & 'dada', though I don't know if he realizes yet what he's saying.

Faith & I have set up sprinklers & the baby pool in the backyard. Elias loves it. Jacob screams when we put him in the pool. I think sometimes Elias is a little bit too much for him!

But, Jacob & Elias can totally crack each other up. They get to staring at each other until one of them laughs, and that makes the other one laugh. Too funny.

And speaking of funny - Elias was in his new carseat, and started speaking gibberish. I turned around to ask him 'what', and he repeated himself. I asked him if he was speaking alien, and he matter-of-factly told me 'Yes.' Who knows!
