The past couple of weeks I have been meaning to update. We've been busy, but it hasn't been anything too terribly exciting...noting extremely picture worthy :) Well...truth is, I've been too lazy to get the camera out. My kids are ALWAYS picture worthy!
After our big 4th of July 'bash' we had a busy week of swimming and playing (sounds like a good week to me!) Eli took swim lessons for 2 weeks. He still cannot swim, but he sure can KICK! I never did take my camera to the swim lessons, but I took this picture with my phone of his class. 
He did good...well...he had good days and bad days. The good days he got in the water without screaming. The bad days...well...he screamed and cried a lot. I'm not sure why some days he was scared to go with his teacher and other days he was fine...Oh well. It's a start. He's still pretty young, and I had no expectations for him to be able to swim, but I wanted him to start the process...and the lessons were cheap, so I didn't mind. He WAS in a class for kids 3 years and older, so he was probably too young for the class, so considering THAT he did great.

It's so hot here, that it's kinda hard to find stuff to do other than swimming, so when play dates come up, we jump on them! (Especially when they are at a kid's gymnastic place. Then Eli REALLY jumps :) Sorry...no pictures of that event...)
We also went to a 'Pirate' play date.
Leah apparently doesn't like eye patches...
...but enjoys hooks. (not sure why the picture is sideways...) Eli had fun, but still has trouble sharing. Someday he'll share, right? Please tell me he will...It's not fun to be put in 'time out' at a play date...

She is currently 29 inches (87%), 20 lb, 3 oz (69%) and her head is 17 inches (22%...little head...) She's growing beautifully. She's definitely getting longer, though, and her little chubby legs are starting to disappear :( I guess it had to happen sometime...
The BIG news in her development is her newly acquired skill.
This was her crawling attempt a couple of days ago:
...and then yesterday at Aunt Krista's house:
She's completely smitten by her Uncle Eliott, so I'm pretty sure she was showing off for him, cuz she hasn't crawled today, but was crawling quite a bit at their house.
And that's pretty much what we've been up to! I've been trying some new cooking techniques, which are...interesting. They take a lot of time, but they are suppose to be good for you. Edgar is feeling only about 50%, so we are trying to change our diet a bit. If you would have told me 2 years ago that I'd be sprouting barley & almonds, and eating Eggplant sandwiches I would have laughed right out loud...but that's what I'm doing. I'm currently making basil crackers in our dehydrator that have no flour. Hopefully they taste good...they smell AMAZING!
And that's all for now!!
