st.louis in the summer

Some highlights of our summer so far...

We went to the Science Center with the rest of St. Louis and ran back to the car in the rain. 

We went to the 4th of July parade.

We've played in lots of water.

We've had lots of ice cream. And cupcakes. Why? Because we've been celebrating Ethan's success in potty training!

And despite what this beaming smile might try and tell you, this girl has been getting 4 molars and has been letting us know how much she does NOT like it!

We've been learning what buttons are NOT okay to push.

(I'll let you guess what the "red button" was that evacuated the building and may have made several kids cry).

 We've been trying to adjust to Ethan no longer having a daily nap. This was our "reading time" that lasted maybe "two minutes."

And our girl has been practicing her walking skills! Getting stronger every day!

 We've been to the zoo...

 Where her favorite thing was the naked mole rat???

 And, most recently, we've discovered the joys of couch cushions. Who knew?
