Summer Fun

I make this strange face now...not so sure what it means yet!!!

Mommy says this summer is flying by and we are growing up too fast. All I know is we are having fun!! Ryan is learning to swim, LOVES the water and is doing great without his life jacket. He is like a little fish...check out the video's of him swimming, jumping and flipping! Me? Oh, I love the water too, I play in my baby pool and splash around and on bath nights practically dive into the tub because I can't wait to get into the water.

Oh yeah, Ryan went wake boarding and surf skiing a few times too. Wow, mommy and daddy are so proud of him. So So proud.

Mommy and daddy are trying to sell the house so we can get into a neighborhood with lots of kids and good schools...things are slow moving, but that doesn't bother me or Ryan much because we like our house and the pool!

I move up to the Busy Buses class next week. Can you believe it? I am not going to be in the infant room anymore at school, I am a big girl now. Mommy and daddy are turning my car seat around too so I can face forward like everyone else. I mean, I enjoy talking to Casey when we make our trips to the lake or out of town, but I would much rather yell at my brother! Speaking of my brother, he moves up to the Learning Express class, the last class he will be in before he goes to Elementary School. What? You mean he won't be at Goddard forever with me? Hmmm, I am not so sure about that one yet.

Ryan asked mommy today if he would live by himself when he got older and then he said he wanted to live with us forever. Sometimes mommy wishes that, but sometimes I think mommy has had enough of us and wants to run far far away...that is every day around 5:30 pm anyway when we get home from school and I am cranky, hungry, dirty and tired and Ryan is just plain whiny, dirty and hungry. So the race is on for mommy and daddy to get me fed, bathed and put to bed. Yes, I go to bed around 6 or 6:15 every night. Mommy wishes I would stay up a bit later so she could actually see me for more than 1 hour a day, but trust me by this time of the day it is wise if you put me to bed because I become a little monster. I wonder who I take after...hmmmmm???!!!! Anyway, then the madness continues to get Ryan and themselves fed, cleaned up, lunches made, play with Ryan, read him stories and then get him to bed.

Relaxing? What is that? What does that mean? Oh, you mean when it is 9pm and mommy and daddy can finally sit down in silence and then by that point they are both zombies they just stare blankly at the tv or computer? Ahhh, relaxing doesn't sound like so much fun to me right now. I would much rather be snoozing away in my comfy crib and snuggling with my blankies!

Casey girl goes in for surgery tomorrow. Poor baby girl, who I love to torture, has some tumors they are going to take off. Hopefully nothing will come of them. Hopefully they get shipped off to the lab and then tossed in the trash and I go on tugging her ears, pulling her fur and yanking her tail. I like doing that to my Casey girl!

Well, not much to report this month. Next month will be the big one as I will be turning 1. Can you believe it? ONE! Holy cow. Ryan and Daddy are going to Baltimore for a fun trip with Cousin Tyler and Grampie so that will be fun for them too.

Great stories next time. Enjoy the pictures.

Love, Kelsey, Ryan, Mommy, Daddy, Casey girl...and the cats.
