Random Ramblings

How is it the middle of June already?
It seems we waited forever for summer to arrive, it came with a vengence (hello 103 degrees) and then left as abruptly as it came.
???

Nonetheless, this 75 and sunny suits us just fine!

We've been busy. Here's a few things we've been up to:

~Plans for the addition were dropped off at the city promptly this morning by Blake....we were told 2-4 days until we hear back on the permit.
~I went dress shopping with my mom and sister this weekend and my gorgeous sister said YES TO THE DRESS! She ordered a dress that couldn't be more perfect and or more stunning on her. Ahh...it was so fun.
~Harper is walking! She's finally mustered up some bravery and started walking into the open spaces (vs. walking from me to the couch or couch to the wicker table). She's full of bruises from some unsuccessful balencing....but she's learning and getting more confident by the day! More on this in a seperate post with a video!
~These two are on the fast track to learn. It's amazing that daily, they seem to pick up on things. They can point to things, they find the ball or book when we ask them, they are imitating us like crazy, they are starting to do great with signing and they are starting to really babble, though the words are quite difficult to make out! Haha

This age is the most fun and challenging age yet. They want to be independant, to communicate but they just can't do it all yet and it's frustrating to them. Harper especially, get's VERY frustrated with things, with objects and with that twin brother of hers. They are showing each other SO much affection lately......mixed in with a little sibling rivalry as well!
