August in a Nutshell

In a nutshell - Connor's 9 months old, sleeping a little better, but not well enough to help mom regain her full brain functions yet. Everyone LOVES the new swing we finally put up and we try to get out there at least once a day. Connor has revealed his full blown personality which is: opinionated, stubborn, funny, talkative and a little on the fearless side. He lives to take anything of his sisters and loves to push her buttons. He's crawling much to our reluctance...we just cant believe he's already "there". Time sure does fly! But we are excited for him and smile watching how proud he is of himself as he crawls across the room. Ella is becoming a preschooler through and through. She'll start at her little Montessori school in just a few weeks-can't wait to see how that goes!
Connor has his 9 month appt in a week (rescheduled because we were in VT) so we'll see what his "stats" are then.
Ella's doing so much more for herself and by herself that mommy can't believe the difference 10 months make! She still loves her dolls, dressing up and playing outside. What we've learned to be true: The days are long, but the years are short. Can't believe the summer's almost over!
