July 2012

It's July... and William's 1st birthday!!!  We enjoyed a fun first half of the month at home. We celebrated the 4th of July with crafts and old fashioned fest in Winter Park, had a super fun visit with Auntie Snuff, and celebrated William's 1st birthday with a photo session with our awesome photographer Jen and a family party!

Madelyn continues her "summer school work" with lots of crafts, songs, books, and alphabet fun.  She continues to love pretend play and gets a lot of ideas from her favorite books.  This month, she really loves reading about Pinkalicious and spent many hours working her pink lemonade stand.

William is a busy, busy little boy! He loves investating EVERYTHING!  In honor of my little monkey, his birthday party and cake theme was monkeys... oo oo ee ee!!

June 2012

WOW! I am seriously behind on my blogging for our little family. 

June was a great first month of summer!  We had lots of fun with our activities and classes and fun at home doing crafts and playing. 

Madelyn and Mommy also started doing "ABC" projects and crafts. Madelyn continues her School Skills class at Gymboree and had a great month with trips to the park, swimming, and playdates with friends.

William turned 11 months this month and is on the MOVE... walking, walking, walking!!  He is a curious little baby and into everything!  He LOVES his baby class at Gymboree, sometimes getting upset when we leave.

At the end of the month, we took our very first vacation as a family of four.  We went to Disney's resort at Vero Beach with our good friends the Tillman Family.  We had a really wonderful time!!  The kids all had such fun playing together.  They really liked the marshmellow roasting at the nightly campfire, liked the sand and surf at the beach, and LOVED the Mickey shaped pool and all it's activites.  The grown-ups had a lot of fun too and Mommy and Daddy enjoyed having extra hands to help out! :)
