    Avery and I messing around with the phone.

   Sneaking a little snuggle time with Wyatt.

    Deciding where to explore....

   Going....

    And returning...with a nerf dart find-score!!

    Busy exploring again...this time navigating around Daddy and the boys on game night.  Only a fire

    alarm may distract those three from their game night.

    She is in the shredding-paper-like-a-champion stage.

And melting our hearts with those lovely smiles-stage.

We are quite fond of her sticking-straight up hair.  And surprised by how big Wyatt looks in comparison in this picture.

She will give us a knowing smile as she crawls over to the receiver where she amazingly hits all the right buttons to shut off the system every time.

Jack giving her a look.

    And she gives him a look right back.

    New day.  New things to explore and learn about.

    Like awesome piles of toys!

    And those funny and curious furry creatures outside.

   I love this picture of Katy and Avery.  She gave us a scare last month.  Katy has had two separate

   blood tests showing elevated numbers relating to her kidneys.  The vet was sure she was in some 

   stage of kidney disease but her urine sample was OK.  Thank God.  So back to monitoring...

She will rarely stay in her activity center now that she is mobile.

                            The boys did a soccer camp in June.

    Wyatt preferred spending time at the end of the day on the sidelines.  Snacking.  The camp was more
    scrimmaging than drills and they haven't played too much so we will look into a different camp next
    time.  Ah well, they sure looked cute in their gear and they got some exercise.

    The boys have been enjoying time to play this summer.  They are in swim lessons twice a week and
    did a very fun "Super Hero" gymnastics camp last week.  Four days from 9 -3!  That is a long day!
    And they were loving all of it.

   Another weekly game day.

    Meanwhile, Avery discovered drawers.

    She still loves cheerios and puffs.  And avocados and bananas.

    The boys wrestling...

    And laughing.  Looking a lot alike these days.

    Peek-a-boo!

    Peek-a-you!

    She is still swimming in 6-12 month clothes.  Her tiny feet even fit into a 0-3 month boots at Baby    

    Gap the other day.  She is almost 10 months old-and 15.2 lbs of petite.

   She is very into the remote control right now.

    There are those itty-bitty feet I was talking about.

 
    She still has her two bottom white teeth and two just about to break through on the top.

    And those blue eyes are staying.

    Bath time is fun time...she loves to crawl around the tub chasing shampoo bottles.

    Our furry four-legged kids:

    Katy looks so worried about Bear in this picture it makes me laugh.

    Furry Bear (did I ever say that her name was "Furby" at the Mountain Home shelter where we  
    adopted her from?)...just before she started shedding.  Shedding doesn't quite describe it.  Pillow-ing.  
    Yes.  We could make pillows with the soft fur she loses...it comes out in clumps.

    Until next post folks......
