In other news, Reese got his first bike. Well, aside from an old hand-me-down from friend, Jack. Considering the tires had duck tape on them and the one handle bar was bent in pretty good, we thought it would be fun for him to get his own first bike. With four boys next door, we tend to get lots of hand-me-downs, which is nice, but after going through four boys they are usually pretty well "used." He does pretty well on the bike and wants to ride it everywhere we go. Our big trip was down to Countryside Village for some breakfast Saturday morning.
Drew has entered the climbing stage of toddler hood. He copies everything Reese does, so he is attempting jumps off of the couch and stairs - not a good thing. He is even trying to climb out of his crib...ugh. He has definitely come out of his shell, not quite so mellow anymore. He is very sensitive and easily gets his feelings hurt. In his "down-time" he's a little cuddle boy who loves books (anything with animals and sea life) more than anything and just wants to be held and read to - which is so sweet for me.
The pictures are a little jumbled, but just a few here and there from our summer.
