A Post From Mom & Dad

C: It has been a long time since I have had the chance to post a substantial update about the little one... so tonight I have enlisted some help.

K: I am not really sure what I am supposed to be doing here.

C: Oh boy, this is going well so far! Anyway, we just want to get everyone caught up on all the new things that June is doing (and saying) and just how she generally spends her days.

K: June is a riot lately - cracking us up all the time. (See the previous post for a prime example) The new things she is learning are really cool. Just today she repeated after Corinne saying superkalafragelisticexpialadocious.

C: No she didn't

K: Alright - maybe not. But she has been saying a lot of words like more, help, bus, bye, and butterfly (sorry stretching the truth again).

C: Yeah, these past few days if we coach her she will repeat just about any simple word. She is really good at mimicking sounds, I guess. There are only a few words that she is using functionally and consistently, but she is definitely on the right track to start talking more soon.

K: How about all of the things June has gotten to do with us lately? People might want to hear about that.

C: They might!?! If not feel free to skip ahead to the pictures. It is true, we have been finding ways to get back into the swing of things outdoors this spring which has awesome for all of us. K: Yeah, a couple of weeks ago we went on a three hour kayak trip exploring a whole new section of the Dupage River, beginning at our house and heading south . She also came along recently to play disc golf with us and would say "Uh Oh" every time we would throw a disc as if we had dropped it by accident. So funny!

C: Today June and Captain and I went to the dog park. I am still not sure who of the three of us had the most fun. June absolutely loves dogs and was extremely happy watching them while sitting (safely) on my chest in her Baby Bjorn, Cap of course loved every minute of it and I was just thrilled to be outside on a beautiful day!

K: I was at work, thanks for rubbing it in.

C: It was really windy if that makes you feel better.

K: It doesn't.

C: We will try to wrap things up now because chances are you all have better things to do than sit and read this... unlike us :)

K: As usual I'll have the last word. (Kidding) Finally - check out some pictures of June Bug's new ride. Thanks Leslie, she loves it!

C: After looking back over the post we realized that we forgot to say how proud we are of our peanut and how lucky we feel to have such a happy and healthy little girl.

K: And how cute she is! (still got the last word)
