Perfect Ten

What?? He's been out here in the real world as long as he was inside of me? I really am in disbelief. Campbell is becoming quite a little daredevil-bruiser with his tumble nearly breaking his nose this week (tipping the entire booster/ high chair over landing face first..). He has healed super fast and is growing like a weed. Notice the nice stroller tan from always having his legs sticking out. He loves the water and is swimming most afternoons with his big sis; his idol. She lights up his face any time of day. With two (sort of half) teeth now, he is loving chewing on ONLY hard, dry foods like well, Cheerios (and Gerber puffs) are about it. Just like Uncle Joe. I think he is getting really tired of me dressing him up for photo op's as seen here.

Favorite toys

yes. it's true. you don't need to buy them anything. pots, wooden spoons, perrier plastic bottles, empty oatmeal canisters...

Double the fun

Borrowed Nana Heit's stroller for "the boys" and took Campbell and Kate on a stroll the other (hot) day. um, ya, it was a workout.... how cute that they were playing footsies?!

Super sibs

Supergirl insisted on making capes for "Campbell's buddy" Riley's Superman birthday party. Big hit

spray whip cream never disappoints

Oceanside or bust

Trouble with a capital T

More fun at someone else's house

I'm such a sucker. Campbell loves the jumper wherever we are.. and we keep saying "we should get one" um, ya. Or just let him have fun at his "friends'" houses.. because once we put this up at home, he was, well, moderately appeased for a matter of minutes... jeesh...typical

First Grade graduation

Jadyn poses on her last day with her awesome teacher, Miss Schindler....

How did it all fly by? Looking back on the first month of this school year, Jadyn seems so young.. Campbell was just born, everything is a crazy blur. We all really lucked out with such an awesome, caring teacher this year. Jadyn idolizes Miss Schindler and has learned so much... reading, writing, 'rithmatic... in addition to tons of cool artist appreciation projects she did with them, telling time, performing, watching butterflies grow from caterpillars...

As far as non academic growth this year... Jadyn has spent many afternoons feining injuries in the nurses's office, playing basketball with the Jr. High volunteers, making mini-pencils and not eating her home lunch.

On the way home from the last day celebration, I had Jadyn and Taylor in the car. I was eavesdropping on their "recap" from First grade.. reminiscing about the level they just barely missed in math, boys, trouble makers, etc... They then included me in the conversation when Jadyn says "I really want to take gymnastics again".. Taylor echoed her sentiments... and I said, "well, we just haven't had time and probably won't do it this summer.. but when you guys get to college you can do whatever classes you want" (way to give them goals, eh?)... so they got all excited. "YA, when we go to college, we're taking gymnastics for SURE" ..all I could think about was how obsessed Stef and I were when we were that age with Mary Lou Retton and gymnastics (that OUR mom didn't let us take).. and they say you turn into your mom... it's so true.

They asked me what classes I took in college. "Sewing, fashion, yoga, art... and some math, science and english... you can pretty much take classes in any subject you want in college. It's awesome"

"RAD!!" Jadyn says. "I'm taking fashion, 'LECTRIC guitar, and gymnastics"

What a renaissance woman.

Escape Artist

trying to climb OUT of the exersaucer.. please don't tell me you're over these cute circus graphics?! nooooooo!

We don't need no pool

..hosing down after the beach... no, Shamu didn't come.. I don't know where he came from.

Newest Sous-chef in town...

...or SHOE-Chef as Jadyn says.Some of his new favorite things are this musical pot/ pan combo thing that Olivia handed down... and a wooden spoon.

It's a magical life.

Jadyn starred in her first play last week in school. Stone Soup. It was adorable. She didn't have a speaking part, her role was tamborine player. (I'm sure Turners will have some fotos of the event posted.. Justin had the camera, I had the baby).. anyway, her only line was introducing herself after bowing at the end... and singing along in the chorus, of course. She practiced and practiced, but for some reason kept saying "I'm Jadyn Heit, MU-GICIAN number 4".

Diva dad ism

Everytime we go to dress up for one of the well, if we're lucky, THE one special occasion a year for which we dress up, Justin has major wardrobe malfunctions and drama. Clothing is strewn all over the closet and bedroom and he is wearing a random outfit with unmatching socks and ??? He has taken to wearing more "slim fit" pants in his normal day to day life (not to mention he weighs like 15 lb since he was sick back in April) and his favorites are, as he says, his CORDUR-OIDS
