What's Happening Lately

The last few weeks have been so busy that I haven't had time to write. It will be a nice change to not have anything to do! Although, we did have fun camping with our families. :)
Leo is still teething(and waking in the middle of the night). I can feel the edge of one of his teeth through his gums. I'm sure it'll pop through any time now, at least with in the next week or so.
Leo has also been getting around on his own a little. He has been scooting on his belly in circles and backwards(in the pic below, he scooted backwards, under the bed). He can also get onto hands and knees from belly, but has yet to take off crawling. Tom and I think he will be crawling with in the next month. He is also is doing great sitting and has been trying to go from sitting to hands and knees, and tummy to sitting, but gets one foot stuck underneath him!


Leo is eating more baby food and has started eating "puffs" . He is eating 3 "meals" a day(which includes a bottle) and a bottle before bed.

Flora and Leo went to their first "big" concert last night. We saw Rutsted Root in Oshkosh at Waterfest. The last time Tom and saw them, I was pregnant with Flora. Flora seemed to be enamored by the lights and the excitement of the crowd. She said to me, "I want to see the music." I told her it was right there and she could see it. She replied, "I want to go by it". So Tom and I took turns taking her up closer to the stage to dance(it's hard work holding a toddler and dancing to very energetic music!) while Leo was trying to fall asleep in the stroller. Flora thought screaming with the crowd was pretty neat, too. I guess it's not too often that she gets to see grown-ups screaming because they are having fun and we all had lots of it!!! Here she is dancing.

Yesterday Flora slept in her "big girl bed" for the first time(she was excited about her new bed and canopy in the pic below). She was super tired when we got home from the show last night and went right to sleep. This morning when I went to get her she was standing by her door(which is always shut to keep rowdy pets out at night). She went in it for her nap okay, too. We'll have see when she wakes up if she goofed around in her room before settling into bed. I just can't believe how fast she is becoming a little person! Both of the kids are growing way too fast!!!

There are more pictures on the web album, "Summer 2009" and eventually I'll be putting videos of Flora singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and "ABC's" to Leo on YouTube.
Have a great weekend!
