August
Trivia: does anyone know what is significant about this day? No, well, neither did I until my wife told me that this day last year we also published our August blog post, lol! Looks like we’re right on schedule!
Anyway, let’s get to it. This month started out with our little
girl turning fabulous one!!!! We celebrated by hanging up the traditional
birthday banner (we stick it up for everyone’s birthday J). Following dinner, we got
out her smash cake! We had baked some cupcakes for everyone else, including uncle Andy who had come to celebrate with us. Outfitted in
one of her new dresses, she tentatively dipped her finger in the icing. She
hardly made a mess, even with the encouragement of everyone…especially me.
Tannin had started out the same as her, but after he was sure we were ok with
him diving in, he’d gone for it and turned into a gray and black mess of icing.
Here, Alana methodically ate little by little, never breaking stride, and then
telling us she was full and wanted down. It was kinda weird, at least for me.
But to each their own I suppose. Every child is different and it’s cool to see
all the little differences as they turn up.
Alana has also developed a little this month. She started
saying “Shhh”, “Bubba”, “Dadda”, “Momma”, “all done”, “Hi!”, “Wazzat?”, “and “bye,
bye”. Physically, she continues to grow and though she’s an inch and a half,
she’s still on the upper end for her age group. As for Tannin, we finally potty trained him. Yes, even though he’ll still occasionally mess up, he’s officially potty trained. Sometimes we’re still reluctant to let him go out to the store in his undies, but we’re getting more and more confidant with him.
Other than that, not much happened this month. A lot of the same old, same old. Really, the main thing was watching the kids grow. Well, that’s all folks. Signing out for another month.
