It's hard to believe it is August already. Our summer seems to have sped by. Life with 5 littles to entertain all day makes for busy days and exhausted children and mama at the end of the night. We all crash quickly at night and then wake up early to start another day.
What have we done this summer? To be honest, there isn't much that sticks out. We go to the gym every Tuesday and Thursday so I can workout (we also go on Saturday and Sunday). We got a number of pool days in during June and the first half of July, but then the weather got cooler and we haven't hardly been to the pool since mid-July. My nice tan has quickly faded. The kids play outside nearly every afternoon. Their best friend Dane lives up the street and his mom is currently on maternity leave so he's home almost every day to play with the twins. The house is a disaster and I can't stay on top of it with all the kids running in and out of the house. And truthfully, I stopped caring a few weeks ago. The OCD, perfectionist in me wants to scrub the house clean and lock the children outside but the teeny tiny rational part of my brain reminds me that these days won't be like this forever and I'd rather have wet swimsuits and towels, bikes discarded in the driveway and garage, and cracker crumbs and lemonade glasses everywhere then to have an empty home.
Here's a snapshot of the rest of June and some of July. It's hard to believe we are to August already. It really is true when they say "the days are long but the years are short."
Sophia learned to sit up towards the end of June. She went in for her 6 month check up on July 5th. It's not hard to learn to sit when you are only 5.5 months old when you clock in at 18 lbs 11 oz. This is our second biggest baby. {out of curiosity, I looked in the baby books to see where everyone else ranked. Ellie and Ava were in the 16 lb range, Hannah was 18 lbs 4 oz, but Carter was a solid 20+ lbs!!)
Sophia also got her two bottom teeth the end of June!
She loves her little lovey {the brown blanket}. She sleeps with it on her face!
Slip and Slide time at Papa and Grandma's!
Evening at the park
Afternoon in the pool at home
There's much to update on with the Wendorff Bunch so I will try to keep up this month!
