Mikayla has learned how to get the doorframes dirty in seconds by scaling the sides in barefeet. This strong little girl is getting quite brave lately and is trying new stunts and tricks wherever we go. She's trying to learn to dive into the pool, flip on the trampoline, and do cartwheels. None of them are perfected, but she sure tries a lot!

Kendra is still eating anything and everything in sight. She has two teeth now. This past week she had a double ear infection and 3 teeth coming in at once! Fortunately, one broke through relieving some pressure and the amoxicillin took care of the ears and the fever and cranky baby. She is crawling all over, up stairs and over toys. She pulls herself to stand and cruises on furniture and is virtually unstoppable! She is 8 months old and 15 lbs. 4 oz.

She says "mama" and "dada" and loves laughing at her sisters' antics.

Poor Megan is tough as nails. The other day she got stung by a bee on the foot while playing in the backyard and then an hour later at the park, got stung by ANOTHER stinkin' bee on her hand! We couldn't believe it! She barely cried and got over it pretty quickly.

I love how she says, "Yea-yah"

"no you di-int"

"that's 'noying me"

"I'm so frustated right now,"

"Mom, when I was your age...,"

"that so awesome"

and the list goes on. She keeps us laughing with her facial expressions and funny things she continually says.

We are enjoying our summer and look forward to the next 6 weeks we have left!
