Summer Growing up SO fast

Summer is Growing up SO fast!
She has changed so much since these pictures were taken a couple of months ago:



She loves discovering her world!
Here with a green bell that when shaken produce such a great reward to a little kid!

Summer can climb!!  The chairs are difficult for her to climb on - but that doesn't deter her one bit!  She climbs on anything she can.  She LOVES the phone!




Cell phone in one hand and corded phone in the other!

Life is SO good!


She put these bunny ears on and walked proudly through the house!

I love her eyes in this picture


For about 2 weeks she could climb up on the chairs, but she couldn't get back down.  I would hear her squaking and find her in different rooms of the house stuck on chairs not able to get down!

Summer loves dressing up like her sisters - Necklace and bracelet.  Now she comes to me and asks me to put on a pretty Sunday dress.  She is so clear in communicating what she wants!  A shake of her hand and head mean no and a point with her pointer finger means yes!  She will also do a "oooo oooo"
Full of personality!

Here she is standing ontop of our heater and I found her pulling the cards behind her off the wall and putting them in the fish bowl to the right. 



I love how she eats - so I take a lot of pictures of her eating.


She loves tissues - wiping her own nose and others too!





I love this picture with the blue of the headband (she put on herself) and her blue shirt.


She does not like to eat in her highchair.  She is a big girl now and insists on sitting to the table on a big girl chair like the big girls!  She wants so badly to be part of what River and Silver do!  She feels so speical when they include her.  She runs to River when she gets home from school with a BIG hug.  She runs to Silver when she wakes up from nap with the same squeal of delight and oh so happy embrace.

Summer Time Part 3

VIDEO:  River with Sparklers


I LOVE this picture!
Swinging and eating Popsicles.
Sisters together enjoying a Summer afternoon. 

Summer with her sparkler. 
She got burned by touching the hot part after the sparkler burned out. 







Hoola Hoop!
Tomi next door was impressed that River's Mom could hoola hoop!  I taught the neighborhood girls tricks with the hoola hoop.   River picked it up after some practice! 

Projects! 


River took the camera and started taking pictures.  I love her pictures because they are often of things that I wouldn't think of to snap, but that are things we see everyday and are special in one way or another. 

Our spearmint plant -
If you want a plant that you cannot kill - try spearmint!!  It doesn't need to be watered.  Every year I pull it out and it comes back in the spring.  Rabbits don't touch it.  The perfect kid/desert plant.  Oh, and it smells good!

I really liked this picture!
Summer holding on to Mommy's leg while I'm sweeping the porch.

Silver with her hornytoad.
And Yes......this pet also died.   
Lots of veggies!


We regularly have hummingbirds fly into our house if the door is left open.
We caught this one and River was able to hold it for a minute. 

River transferring the hummingbird to Silver.

4th of July parade. 
The firetrucks were spraying their hoses into the crowd and River didn't want to get wet, so she found herself a spot to stay dry :)

Summer on the slide with Daddy.
