We're having a bit of a "down" week, mostly hanging around the house and doing errands here and there. We are loving spending time together and have survived a week of Ryan working double shifts (makes for super long days). The girls are starting to play well together and Kaitlyn loves to read to Meagan and sing to her. She also likes to tell her to "stop freaking out" when she gets mad about something. Here are some pictures from the last couple days.

Meagan Asleep...
Proof this child can fall asleep just about anywhere.
The other day Meagan was crawling around on the floor and then I noticed she was being super quiet. This is what I found.
And today, slowly the bounces in the jumperoo were getting slower and slower and then I found this.

BUSY Summer
Sorry for the lack of posts - I know family likes to keep up with us on here but we've been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. Kaitlyn had VBS at the same school she goes to preschool last week, and VBS again this week at my sister's church. It's busy but great and gives me a chance to do things without chasing after a 4-year-old (e.g. grocery shopping, cleaning, etc.).
Meagan is doing really well. She is starting to eat much better and I'm starting to put her in the highchair for 3 meals a day (actually just started yesterday). She eats more when she thinks she's in control, either feeding herself (she loves bananas) or grabbing the spoon and "helping" me put it in her mouth. She loves mixed cereal, berries, bananas, fruit blends, and baby jarred turkey casserole so far. We're trying more each week and she's only improving which is great!
Meagan is also in cloth diapers. I swore I would never, ever do it. But the last package of disposables I bought for her made her break out in a fierce rash across her waist and my sisters both do it, so we tried it. I don't love the laundry aspect of it, but it's super easy to do and really doesn't take much time (it's just remembering to do it before I run out of diapers that's the problem!). My sisters were great and lent me a few different kinds and so far my favourites are the Fuzzibunz one-size with snaps. They seem to fit the best with no leaks for her which is great. Plus they're cute ;)
Here are a few pics from the last week.

Super happy baby :)
Almost 8 months - where does the time go?

Finally! We are having a heat blast that is supposed to last at least this week! I'm thinking steaks, beer and eating on the deck tonight :)
