Cheerios, Crawling, Pulling Up...

Aspen is on the go! She has only been crawling for two weeks but apparently has already moved to pulling up on everything! Nap time is not so fun these days, she spends a lot of time sitting, crying, pulling up until she collapses in a heap.

Aria's swimming cache

Turns out Aria won a 5th place ribbon for her 1:10 backstroke time at the last meet! She also got one of two medals (boy and girl) for most improved 6 & under swimmer on the Maumelle Marlins and everyone on the team received a trophy for participating. It was one fun awards banquet! After the awards everyone had cake, ice cream, went swimming and dove for quarters.

Swimming!

Stats!

Aria had her 4 year old well child yesterday and Aspen had her 9 month checkup a month early. Poor Aria had 4(!!!) shots. My ears are still ringing! Aria is 45" tall and 46 lbs which puts her at the top off the chart for a 5 year old :) Aspen was 17 lbs and 27" which puts her in the 40th and 60th percentiles respectively. We had a great 4th of July. Aria saw the fireworks for the first time with her dad (after playing with sparklers at a friends house in the early evening). Aspen is rolling everywhere, we've had to cage our living room, and starting to get up on all fours. We are enjoying our summer with Miss Selma's camp, First Presbyterian summer program and swimming activities. It is HOT here in Arkansas. Hard to believe but hotter longer than Virginia. Longing for some fall weather!
