June

Happy June!

Avery (1 year, 10 months) - loves the camera, particularly taking pictures of herself or looking at pictures of herself, hence the photo overload!  She is a ball of personality these days.  She is obsessed with the song "Shake It Off" and insists on "Shake" at least 5 times a day.  To which she runs in circles to until she can't stand any longer.  She also loves Elmo, her brothers, swimming, books and being outside.  Physically, she is continuing to lose some of her baby chub and she has 4 teeth coming in.  She is also adding to her vocabulary regularly daily.  When you ask her a question she will raise her hand and say "me" or "no".  Avery also loves to give big hugs and kisses, the grab both sides of your head and never let you go kind.
First braids!

Everything pink - watching Elmo


Parker (4 years, 7 months) - Apparently Mr. Parker was too cool for pictures this month but it's probably because he was too busy.  Between beach trips, camp, tennis and swimming he was always on the go.  He is an amazing, sweet, easy middle-child who goes with the flow and adores his siblings.  He has done amazingly well growing a bit of independence at camp this summer.  He is also excited about Kindergarten in the Fall and being a "big kid".


Carter (6 years, 1 months) - Carter had an awesome month of trips and at camp.  He has grown up so much from a year ago but still is quite the mom's boy.  Carter brings home lots of new vocabulary and skills from hanging out with an older crowd but has a huge soft spot for his siblings, particularly Avery.

Poor sick guy

June Camps / School

Avery has been enjoying school over the past month.  Her class continued during the summer months so she's enjoying the same routine.  She loves Splash Days on Friday, art and lots of outdoor time.





Ready for Splash Day













Parker is at Summer Adventure camp for the summer.  They have weekly themes with fun activities and a field trip around the theme.  He is in a class with mostly new kids but he doesn't seem to mind.  His teachers say he is an absolute joy in the class ;)

Carter has done a few different camps over the past month.  He spent two weeks at Way 2 Play sports camp, went to Camp Grossology at Lovett for a week and spent a week at Josh Powell day camp in the North Georgia woods.
At Camp Grossology, Carter learned about something gross each day - this day he brought home vomit.  Other topics included pee, blood, slime, boogers, etc.
