Standing!

Kira went from not putting her feet on the floor, to standing (fully assisted), in days.  She loves to see the world from her new vantage point.  

"Is she still a baby?!" Max asked when he saw Kira standing.  Yep [and so are you, Max]

Kira went to see Mr. Knick Knack this afternoon and we ran into Timmy.  Do not tell Max! He was at camp.

Double car nap for Max and daddy after camp

A totally unnecessary post-nap outfit change in honor of National Watermelon Day and this adorable outfit that had to be worn before it is too small.

Digging for buried snacks 

Avery came over to swim...

...and dive!!!

By 7pm these kids were pooped! (Hopefully)

TGIS!

Thank goodness it's Sunday!  We had a lot of fun this weekend, but it was non-stop and super hot.

Are these pedicure flesh eating fish?  Nope, but Max is giving mommy a pedicure.

Max and Timmy had a lot of fun at the Frying Pan Park carnival.  

Kira liked it a lot, too, considering her limited access to carnival fun.  Her fresh pseudo standing skills came in handy at the fishing game.

Shaved ice is just what the boys needed before they melted themselves.

Kira was tall enough for this ride!

Let's get the show on the road!

Cow car seat twins

The clapping is the cutest!

"Mommy I'm holding her..........Take a picture!!!"

"Mommy I like it [the new sheets]!"

Kira claps!

Kira started to clap and it is so cute!  "Da da da da!" she screams while she applauds anyone who looks her way.

Working on standing

We had a blast at Jake's 2nd birthday party!

Ice cream...

and a short sink...

...and all the 'white blankeys' in the world.  Max officially loves Ikea, which he pronounces, "I-Kia!" as in his sister. 

TGIF!

"Here's a little ice cream for Kira"

Feet!  Max said his are blueberry.

Meghan took photos of Kira this morning.  Kira is great at smiling and Meghan is great at taking pictures!

Max at the movies!

Kira and mommy had a dermatologist appointment this morning.  Kira was her usually smiley self, and the doctor confirmed what all the other doctors said- the mark is harmless and will go away.  Max insisted on tagging along to the appointment.  He is very concerned about Kira's "mark".  He also wanted to ask the doctor about all of his bug bites.  "The bugs are eating me," he sometimes says.  Unfortunately when we left the doctor, Max was disappointed.  "Her mark is still there!"

We were done with the dermatologist by 8:30am, so we had plenty of time for e bagel date before camp.

The skies opened up on the way home from camp. "I don't need an umbrella, it's like a shower!" Max said, until he remembered he had a Spider Man umbrella.

Max went to see his first movie with mommy and grandma.  We saw 99.5% of Inside Out.  Max was exhausted, but he sat quietly while he munched on the candy he selected (fruit snacks!) and popcorn.  Just before the movie ended, Max said he wanted to go home.  So off we went with a giant cliff hanger.
