10 months old

TEN MONTHS
Can you believe it?

The boys are ten months old today. This has been a very fun month. We went to Hatch for the first time with the boys for the 4th of July (blog posted below), took the boys swimming bunch. They both love the water, and are getting used to being dunked. I do a little mini lesson with them each time we go. They are both on the move all the time, and never go in the same direction. They are into EVERYTHING, except their toys. They are both learning so much about what is going on around them. They are SO observant.

I took the boys to get their pictures taken and was suckered into buying the CD. Anyway, I am a little disappointed because there weren't a whole lot of good ones on there. My kids are usually SOO happy, but get a stranger with a camera, and it is the total opposite :(

I took the boys to an expo thing, and got these cute pictures taken, and of course, they would NOT cooperate :( But they are still cute. Skyler wouldn't stop crying so he had to keep his cracker.

SKYLER

• Army crawls
• Has 2 bottom teeth
• Can mimic us (head shake, clap, tongue blowing, nose snorting, etc.)
• Pulls himself up on furniture
• Likes to sit on the step
• Goes up on his hands and feet and looks at his feet (in picture above)
• Recognized his name
• Loves finger foods
• Likes to go swimming and enjoys any form of water
• Steels Connor's toys and then as Connor tries to get it back, he teases him by switching hands around. Sad but entertaining to watch
  

CONNOR

As for David and me, not a whole lot. We are both still running. I am proud to announce that I ran more than David AGAIN this month. Even with my back problems, and basically cutting my miles in half. I topped off the month at 26 miles. Sad that 15 of them were in the first week of July alone:( I will continue to do low miles and pilates until my back gets stronger and I have more time to run as well. Right now David is training for the marathon, so that is more important, and I am waiting for it not to be so HOT!!! I have scrapped the idea of the half marathon in September, and hoping to do one in November. David got a promotion at work, so we are SUPER excited about that! David had to go up to Salt Lake City for the interview, and was gone for a day. When he got back the boys attacked him, and that is the picture above. David and I will also be celebrating our 4th anniversary on Aug. 6th. We will actually be doing something to celebrate this year (thanks mom)!!

I hate having long, wordy blogs, so if you got to the end... KUDOS!!!
