July SPED by!!!

It's hard to believe that our summer is already over! Bo has grown by leaps and bounds this summer, and little Molly is already three months old now. Where does the time go?

Here a few pictures and videos from this month:

Dressed up for Chick-fil-A's Cow Appreciation Day:

Molly thinks her hands are the best toy ever!:

This is my favorite picture of Molly from this month. I could just eat her up!
If you remember from a June post, Molly was not yet able to lift her head as many two-month old babies do so we had to work with her and bring her back to the doctor for a check-up to see how she was progressing. Her doctor was pleased with her progress, and within a few days after our appointment, Molly was not only lifting her head pretty well, but she also began rolling over!

The other first for Molly this month was swimming in a pool. Although she fussed a little when we brought her into the water, she seemed to like floating around in the water with Tyler. Hopefully we'll have a few more opportunities to bring her back to the pool before she grows out of her super cute bathing suit! :)

Bo is becoming more independent every day. Some of the things that he is doing now that he either could not do at the beginning of the summer or has progressed with since the beginning of the summer include:
*No longer needing pull-ups, even at night time!!! (Thank goodness!!)
*Swimming across the pool completely unassisted and without floaties.
*Reading more than 100 words. (With the exception of a few words on the Dolch Pre-Primer and Primer list, he can read all kindergarten words and we're working on first grade sight words now. The crazy thing is that he can spell a lot of the words from memory too.)
*Dressing himself completely (except for buttons). He comes out of his room every morning, usually with a mismatched outfit, puts his hands on his hips and says, "How good do I look?"

Bo is all about Star Wars and superheroes, and he also really likes coloring with markers, making Molly laugh and talk, singing along to Randy Travis songs in his Daddy's truck, watching Super Why and Word World, and reading books. Every day is a new adventure with Bo, and we can't wait to hear about all of the fun things that he does when he goes back to school this week!
