The Saylor Girls: Summertime, Summertime

We had a few things going on here this week. First of all, our big news, Sierra is officially walking. She had been doing really well for the past two months cruising everywhere and walking while holding one of our hands. But Tuesday we noticed her just walking without holding on to anything. And she would go pretty far. Everyday since then she has gotten better and better. Now, she loves walking all the time. Avery tries to get Sierra to chase her. So while Avery is running circles around the house, Sierra is so happy to be walking along with her trying to catch up to her and the two of them just scream and yell and laugh. It is so funny.

Tuesday was also Avery's half birthday. She was so excited to be 3 1/2 but she was very disappointed when she found out that we were not having a big party with all of her friends and cake and balloons. She is such a deprived child. So everyday since then we have had parties for her stuffed animals. Lamby is such a little party animal.

Last weekend we put up our new pool. We got one of those 3 foot pools that you just fill with water and hope it doesn't fall down (so far so good). It is absolutley perfect for Avery because she can touch the bottom. The only problem is that the water is FREEZING!!! We tried putting buckets of hot water from the kitchen sink into it but it is still really cold. So, I think 5 minutes is the longest Avery has lasted in it before her lips are quivering and she is ready to get out. Sierra will only go in if we hold her and she just dips her little toes in every once in a while. Hopefully, the sun will shine on it this week and warm it up a bit because I think the girls would love it if it wasn't so cold. I'll let you know.
