July

I think it is easier just to write once a month and catch up, than it is to remember to write more often. 

July was a busy month for us! We started out the month by going camping with our friends Derek and Carly. I'm not sure why, but I don't have a lot of pictures from the trip. Even though we couldn't have a fire (because of the fire ban), it was still a lot of fun. We went on a hike around the lake, and by the end, Abigail was very tired.

This was her at the beginning of the hike. 

and this is her at the end.

Sunset at the end of our hike.

She's getting better at making messes. Either that or I'm getting used to just letting her make a mess.

She likes to read books. She learned how to flip the pages by herself. By the way, look how tan she is! She definitely got her dad's olive skin.

She got some new blocks and thinks it's fun to knock them over. She also has long enough hair for a ponytail! (I had already taken out the rubber band if you're thinking it looks funny). and look at those teeth! Her top two are starting to come in, too.

She's (usually) a happy baby!

I love these blocks. There's a house block, a barn block, a fence, playground, silo, and the letter blocks all have farm animals or farm related things on them.
