Another Birthday

Claire

We had a good Claire's birthday week even though she barely noticed when I tried to treat her special for her birthday and made her a yummy breakfast and brownies. It was like any normal day where we went to the gym, played outside in the back yard, and went to the park after her nap. Chris went on the hiking trip so it was just us girls and we had a routine with breakfast and going to the gym in the morning, eating lunch then nap time afterward. I noticed when she wakes up cranky she just needs to get outside so we would get ready to go to the park if it was enough in the evening or just let her play outside until a little later. She learned how to climb the latter that I was nervous for her to start climbing at the park and go down the big slide without any help which makes it easier for me to stay with Shay at the bench. We've also met a lot of new friends going to the park, her favorite being a dog names Chewy that the dad was nice enough to let her walk, with help.

Shay

She is getting so big! She now can roll over both from the front to back and back to front although her hand still gets stuck going onto her tummy and she gets mad. Claire helps me tickle her and play with her so we can hear her cute giggles and make her smile. She isn't as fascinated with herself as Claire used to be but is interested in the phone when I have it on camera enough that it entertains her. She likes playing with her toys and watching us make faces at her cause apparently we are funny looking and silly. She definitely doesn't like being left alone or ignored cause she isn't afraid to let me know when I've left her in another room for too long.

Hiking

Chris is already back! It was supposed to be a few days longer but as they were coming out, they decided to kill themselves and hike the 24 miles out of the mountains and get home late Saturday night. Someone really likes his purple bed so he got home at 3am just to be able to sleep in it...and with me so I'm not complaining. He is used to it from his shifts at the hospital and I'm glad he could come to church with me cause I started getting sick and wasn't sure if I was going to make it. We had a fun Sunday evening talking about his adventures and all the fun they had hiking to the many many different lakes they went to. I saw videos and pictures of the places he went to try and experience it from here and can't wait till I finally get to go.
