Within just a couple weeks, Henry started to crawl, wave, clap his hands, and cut three more teeth in. Someone is excited to grow up.

Summer is winding down. We’ve been playing at the pool and with friends. Sometimes I can convince Peter to ride his bike. He has a hard time trying new things, and even though bike riding has been available to him for a long time, he hasn’t done it consistently enough for it to not be a new thing. Piano, however, is a new thing that has stopped being a new thing, and he loves to go through his piano book. I think I might have to sign him up for lessons soon.

Peter does love singing. Lately he will go through a songbook and just sing the songs though. We’ve been getting renditions of Praise to the Man and Go Round and Round the Village. I love it.

Curtis is finally starting to talk a bit more. I think he will always be a bit quiet though. We are working on potty training though with very little success.
