Since I am a mean wife, I make my husband work during the summer, or at least this it what he says. I actually think he enjoys getting out of the house and would go crazy being home with us everyday. He works at the country club on the groundscrew so he actually gets a nice tan during the summer months, also as a nice bonus they let the employees and their families use the pool and golf course on Mondays. We have been there the past two Mondays. Calli loves the kiddie pool, which is 1 foot deep and has lots of cool toys. Dan like the diving board. Andi likes the shade tree in which she usually sleeps under and I like the lounge chairs!! It is fun for the whole family!
She is so funny in her carseat these days. She loves an aquadoodle travel thing she got as gift. She loves to dance and sing (scream). She also enjoys her "mimi" (pacifier) and "mimi" (blanket)in her carseat which is one of 2 places she can have them-the other being her bed. We are trying to get her to call her blanket a blanket but so far no luck, both are called "mimi" which is very confusing. I can't believe the difference one year makes, last year she was in the infant seat sleeping on most of our drives.
I had just gotten Calli dressed and went to get myself ready to leave the house....that is when I noticed it...the silence, not usually a good thing in our house these days except when both are in their beds. But i walked in the living room to see Calli sitting right next to Andi and the sweetest thing in the world, she was talking to her in a soft sweet voice. She was talking about the babies on the BabyPraise video. Then a fish came on the screen and Calli told Andi that it was a fish using sign language. I know she was talking to her becasue she would turn to her a face her when talking. It was one of those unexpected "proud and thankful for the blessngs God has given us" moments.
