Our Week :: July 11-17

Costco had awesome sales this month on several things that we use frequently and/or were running low on. The poor UPS man - this was what arrived the first of two days of shipments. Meghan loves when bulk boxes come, so I snapped a picture with all of the things that came. Then she set to work trying to open all of the boxes for me while I fed Katie a bottle. She was able to get several of them open - while it doesn't save me tons of time, it was a helpful accomplishment! 

Meghan loves stickers. This week I introduced her to re-positional stickers and she was in love. It's so great to her that they can be moved around and that she can use her favorites over and over again.

Katie is a super happy baby almost all of the time. She was being super smiley on Tuesday and so I pulled out the camera - check out these sweet smiles as she turned 10 weeks old (how are we already in double digits?!?). She is so much cuteness and so much chub!

Some pictures from school with Meghan this week. She thoroughly enjoyed matching the "mama" animals to the baby animals on her animal puzzles. Then she spelled her first word independently! She said "Mommy! Look! Meghan maked Sam!" - Sam is the main character in her current very very favorite book - Sam and the firefly. I was so excited for her - it's not something I've been pushing with her at all but it's been fun to see her slowly making the connections herself!

We ordered a garden cart for toting around dirt and mulch and other such things (perhaps even produce on some good days!). Meghan enjoyed riding around in it in the house before we took it outside, though! 

We went peach picking in our backyard today - a few are ready every few days and we have been loving eating them up! Meghan was so proud of the peach that she picked - she loves fresh peaches! She thoroughly enjoyed chomping on peaches for afternoon snack and with her dinner.
