Wait, it's August already?

Not sure what happened to July, but we woke up this morning and it was already August. So, here's a photographic recap of July. Please note: After our trip to Flagstaff, Katie spent nearly all of July with her mom, hence why there are no photos of Katie.

Natalie helped Daddy put a new faucet in her bathroom and Katie's bathroom.

 Eloise took a ride or two on the Laundry Express.  Choooooooo-chooooooooo!

Natalie graduated from her carseat and is now in a booster. The unanticipated downside to this is that now she is no longer so restrained and can reach Eloise. Mommy now spends a lot of time yelling "KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF" while driving the family taxi.

 Mommy got bangs.

 

Eloise discovered (and fell in love with) her cow rocker, a hand-me-down from our friends. Natalie and Eloise can now rock together.

Natalie re-discovered the 2013 Consumer Reports Buying Guide and has read it cover-to-cover at least 50 times since then. The kid loves this book so much.... she took it to school for Show and Tell.

 Natalie continues to create her own fashion trends...

 Eloise began to enjoy giving mommy and daddy snuggles.

 

Natalie established a Library-system for puzzle check-out with Gramma Judy and rotates her puzzles weekly.

Eloise figured out how fall over from a sitting position and roll around to get things she can't reach.

Natalie helped Daddy fix his truck, although it turned out to be a larger problem than the two of them could solve.

 Eloise started doing this head tilt/body lean thing. It's super funny, especially when she falls over.

Daddy established a new hairdo called, "Whack Daddy Doo."
