June pictures

Summer has begun and we've done our best to enjoy it. In June we went to Wisconsin twice, we went to a bunch of beaches and parks. We've spent time with grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends. Sometimes we took pictures.

Elaine shows her stuff

Elaine is a quick mover, but she's been in no hurry to walk. She has been crawling, cruising, and "scooting" for many many months now, but hasn't been all that interested in walking. She seems to get where she wants just fine through her other methods.

But each day she does give us indications she is moving towards walking. Her favorite activity this past week is to do an unassisted stand from the sitting or crouching position. She'll stand for a bit and then plop back down. We captured one of the brief instances on video.



Oh, yes. She does like to clap for herself just about every time.

Bouncing Meredith

Earlier in June, Meredith got to participate in the Pre-Kindergarten Olympics near the end of the school year. It involved several fun relay races. Well, "race" in that the kids were going very fast. No winners were recorded or tracked. Each kid of course got a medal at the end.
