Liam had his last swim class today and will be moving up to the next level next saturday. He's really excited to start his NEW class next week & can't stop asking when he gets to go. He's also excited because that means mom & him get to go pick out another bead for his band (he has been asking for a dinasour bead, so I'm guessing that's what he's going to be getting.
He had 2 weeks off of tumbling & it sure is showing that he needs to go back, like last week - he is bouncing off the walls, beds, couch, chair, and the list goes on & on.....
He's really excited that he can now play in the water outside, but can't wait for winter so that he can go sledding (I prefer summer, so I'm hoping it stays warm for quite some time).
He's growing by leaps & bounds which is making him really frustrated. One day he can walk under something & the next day he is bumping his head. He now has to watch out for door handles because he hits his head on them ;(
He's doing really good with Aine & shows that he wants to be around her ALL the time (even though he tells her to go away all the time, he has to lay right on top of her).
We are also starting to work on riding a bicycle! Shawn lowered the seat, left the training wheels on & off he went! He still wants to pedal backwards (which are the brakes on this one), but he will get the hang of it. That is as long as he will get back on it after his little spill.
Aine is growing & leaving her baby look behind day by day. Her leg rolls are starting to go away, she is getting stronger and stronger, and really starting to show more of her personality.
She has mastered sitting on her own, is getting 8 teeth in (yup, it is NO fun for her or the rest of us), she is working on holding herself up with her arms, she is starting to really figure out the whole rolling thing, and is starting to get mobile when she is on her back. She LOVES to play & LOVES to be involved when Liam and I are playing. Cars & trains are turning out to be her favorite thing, unless she is getting ready for bed & then she has to have pinky & baaab (baby).
She is really starting to babble & if you listen closely you can hear her say: dadda, mamma, babba, & baaab
She has also started the transition from infant formula to big girl formula. We're hoping that it all goes well and she can handle both the increase in fluid & the food transition.
Aine is also doing really well in therapy. We are currently working with the school system, but are also planning on starting a medical based therapy program so she will be getting more days of therapy each week.
