Still here...

My my where does the time go it's almost August. There will be no pictures with this blog as we haven't really taken any this summer. We have been pretty busy. We went on our annual pilgrimage to Helen, Ga. for our Setzer Family Vacation. It was fun. This was the first time I have been since before Riley was born because I always had to work. (See there are perks to unemployment.)

Riley has had her four year old check up complete with 4 shots and a finger stick. It was as awful as it sounds. Luckily no more shots until she is 11. She had her first trip to the dentist. She came home and brushed her teeth six times that day. She has a pair of red white and blue flip flops that have stars on them. She informed me that they were her "Barack Obama flip flops". Where does she come up with this stuff?

Lyla is blazing new trails every day. She is up on all fours crawling at top speed in an effort to keep up with sister. She is pulling up and holding on while walking along the furniture. I also noticed she disappeared today while we were in the hallway. She has apparently learned to climb up the steps and was half way to our bonus room. Bring on yet another baby gate. She adores her big sister and wants to do whatever Riley is doing. This causes much frustration for Riley. Riley informed me she would rather have a big brother than a little sister. Lyla has no interest in baby food she wants only people food. She is still VERY clingy to mom and is in fact screaming for me as I write this. I am hoping this will pass. I packed away the co-sleeper and she is sleeping in her own room about half of the night.

I hope everyone is well. Come visit us if you are in the MB area we love to have company!
