July recap

By -
I'm pretty sure the only exciting thing that happened in July was Brenda's visit. Andrew left work early to go to the Natural History Museum with us. It doesn't matter how many times we go; Leah is still always thrilled to go again. She's not as obsessed with dinosaurs as some kids, but she's a big fan.
Leah still plays with the rocks they collected at Soergel's Farm.
We went to the zoo one day. It was nicer than I expected it to be. On average, the enclosures really seemed to try to give the animals a good environment. The aquarium was larger than I expected too. While we were there, the kids climbed a fake termite nest. And Leah and Tyler rode on a kiddie ride. There was also a little area where kids could climb and go down some slides. They sure got a lot of exercise that day.
We went to the Science Center too, but I didn't take any pictures. It had been a long time (a year and a half?) since we had seen them, so I'm glad Brenda could squeeze us into her busy schedule.

Our Little Monkey

We call Leah our little monkey because she does the Mowgli crawl: She's obsessed with the dishwasher, and today she learned a new trick (sorry about the tall video—we're still learning): So in addition to worrying about the monkey crawling around, we now have to worry about her climbing up, too.

End of February

How can today be the last day of February already?  It still feels like the year just started. Andrew had his birthday. Yay for getting older! Life can only get better, right? We have a tradition of getting together with Ken and Jen (my old roommate and her man) to eat at Tucanos. Tucanos has a "Birthday Club," which means that if you sign up, they'll send you a paper for a free meal. It's on the pricier side to eat there, so I'm a fan of the "Birthday Club." We started this tradition back when we were dating because Andrew and Ken both have birthdays in February. We met up with Ken, Jen, Tyler, and Linda for our annual February Tacanos dinner on Friday night. Leah was really tired, so we didn't do anything afterward. We had scheduled it for two weeks earlier, but I ended up feeling really sick the night before and didn't get much sleep. I was not in the mood to eat anything, so we postponed. It was fun when it finally happened though. :) On hi...

Writing

I thought I should share a few pictures on the ol' blog. A special thanks to pinterest for the brilliant idea of putting papers in sheet protectors for kids to trace. Leah has already dried out one expo marker since this morning. I'm going to need to limit how much she can play with it. I didn't want her to just scribble everywhere like she does with coloring books. So this morning I sat down and started tracing letters myself. She's a jealous soul when I don't invite her to play with me. It worked like a charm.
