The month of June

Lachlan is now 7 months old and trying desperately to crawl. This weekend he has finally figured out how to go forward a few "steps". He is also pulling up to standing, which is how we find him in his crib in the middle of the night. Lachlan is so busy, we're wondering if he'll ever sleep fully. You can hear him talking to himself, moving around his crib in the middle of the night. We've spent the month of June attempting to sleep train him, and while he can now go to the sleep easy as pie, he just doesn't stay that way for long.

For Bennett, June has meant Little Gym (and gymnastics class) and swim lessons, which he loved, and water activities. He can't get enough, even if it means getting the hose out. Rachael, my sister, and her daughter are coming up here for a few days, and I've promised Bennett a trip to the big water park. He can't wait to try the rides. Lachlan will be in daycare during that time, working on napping, because that is also something he's just not very adept at. :-) Other than the sleep, Lachlan is a wonderful baby...very happy and he just lights up a room.

Bennett put this fireman hat on Lachlan and he didn't seem to mind.
