Summer Fun

This has been a wondeful summer home with the girls.  We have gone to the zoo and splash parks in the area and had a great trip up to Lake Wisconsin and the Dells.  Watching Shannon and Abby interact and play together is an amazing thing.  They love each other so much.

Shannon is such a big girl now, 3 years old!  She is getting to be quite the negotiator and seems to be outgrowing her naps, which makes my days home with the girls quite long and exhausting!

Abby is 15 months and is crawling all over the place.  In the past few weeks she has started being able to pull up to standing all by herself and we are in the process of ordering her SureStep SMO braces to help her position her ankles better so she can finally start running around with Shannon.  Sometimes it can be so frustrating to have her be behind.  I would love to take the girls to the splash park together and let them run around together, but since abby isn't walking yet, she can't really play in there (unless she crawls on the concrete, which she tries to do).  Abby has also had 5 ear infections in the past 6 months, so she is scheduled to have tubes put in on July 29th.  We are hoping this helps her speech improve because the audiologist said that with the constant fluid she has in her ears, it's like constantly listening with your fingers in your ears.

Despite ear infections and Therapy sessions, we have managed to have a wonderful summer.
