Week 12

We continue to stay busy this summer, that's the reason I am a little behind on my posts. We are finishing up swim lessons & continue with gymnastics during the week. I am loving getting to be the full time stay at home Mom for the summer. My girls keep me busy, but I love it.

We attended the annual summer pool party at the Reddell's home. It was also a baby shower for their future grandson. Shelby enjoyed the pool and swam for about 5 hours straight and loved it. She was asleep before we even got out of their neighborhood she was so tired afterwards. Hayden just chilled poolside with her Mimi and Daddy throughout the afternoon. She does really like the water. We have been hanging out at the pool and the girls are really enjoying the water.

Hayden is growing so fast and is so strong that we got out the exersaucer and the Bumbo chair down out of the attic. She does really well and looks so big in them. It makes me sad to see how fast she is growing.

Week 11

School's out for summer!!!! I am so glad that this school year has come to an end. It was a wild one and I am ready to spend all my time with my family.

We got to see the Locklears for the first time in ages and many former Burke Road Church members. Sadly it was at a funeral, but it was still good too see familiar faces that had not met Hayden yet. Please do keep the Dyson family in your prayers as Toni lost her husband and their 3 boys lost their Dad on June 6 at the young age of 38.

The girls are doing awesome these days. Shelby started her summer "Flips" gymnastics class and swim lessons this past week. She is loving them both and loves to glide all over the pool with her kick board. She hasn't quite figured out how to swim but is just learning the basic kicking and getting comfortable in the water without me having to be right in front of her the entire time. Hayden continues to grow like a weed. She is pushing up with her legs so well and really getting good control of her head. She also enjoys having her sister sing the song "Soul Sister" to her regularly. My girls are too cute.

Week 10

WOW! I cannot believe it has been 10 weeks since Miss Hayden joined our family. It seems like she has always been here. She is doing awesome with her little bobble head and has even started pushing herself up with her leg. She is so strong. Hayden is also definitely a Gorman, she is starting to coo and "talk" so much more these days. I don't think my house will ever be quiet again. Hayden officially went camping for the first time this past weekend. We went to Jellystone Park in Waller with the Gorman & Haselbarth crews. Fun was had by all, especially Shelby who got to swim and play on the water slide all day. Hayden even got to go swimming for the first time. She loved it of course and I'm sure she will be a little fish just like her sister.
