WOW! It has been such a busy two months. Here we were, looking forward to a relaxing summer...not even close. Don't get me wrong, we have had a great time, but we're almost as busy now as we were during the rest of the year. Here's what we've been up to...
Anna is keeping us on our toes. She is now running everywhere, climbing on everything, getting in to whatever she can get her hands on...and chatting at the top of her lungs. This one is a firecracker. She now says "bye-bye", she can identify most of her caregivers by their names (my siblings and Becca and Addy Curzon), she can almost say "diaper", she says "stop" when she's tired of something...she's amazing. She has been in 12 month clothing for a while. It's hard to believe that over 11 months ago she was in preemie clothing...she has since QUADRUPLED in weight. Incredible. One thing we appreciate about Anna is her ability to entertain herself. She walks around, plays with her toys, pretends to read and will stash things in her little corner in the kitchen. She also loves to drum with Daddy.
She will do something, scrunch her nose and start laughing. What a character! Here's what our "little" girl looks like now:
Speaking of drumming-- we have also been busy with Tim's band, Groove Thief. What I thought was just a fun opportunity for the guys to jam has turned in to a full-blown project. Summer concert season is upon us and the band is booking up faster than any of us expected. The band is in the studio and have laid down two tracks already. They are a part of a rock festival that has received some excellent press, including write-ups in the Statesman, Oregon Live!, and Salem Weekly as well as on-air promotion on KUFO. The band has also been played on KUFO to promote the concert...what an awesome experience! Anna loves being around the music--we take her to shows and she wears her little noise reducing headphones. I never thought I would be a band wife, or be someone who would hear her husband rock out on the radio. My life is far and away what I ever imagined it could be, and I love it!
Other than chasing Anna and rocking out, this summer has been one for re-arranging furniture, cleaning like crazy, and taking a few field trips. I'm on a new exercise regimen that has helped me lose inches in a matter of weeks. Sounds like an infomercial, but really I'm just working hard. My clothes are getting big, but I'm not quite at the point where most of my pre-baby clothes are starting to look right. I'll get there...
