He'll be 18 months before we know it

Hey All,

So, maybe this isn't a weekly blog anymore...who knows. We'll see if I can get back in the habit. I hope the end of the summer has treated you all well and that everyone headed back to school isn't too upset to be doing so.

Adam and I have been doing our best to soak up the sun whenever we can. He loves getting out and playing in his sandbox, jabbing our front porch with sticks of sidewalk chalk, running and rolling around in the grass, and sitting pretty in his trike stroller each day as we take short little walks throughout the neighborhood. Of course, it's been pretty hot, so we don't go out for too long at once. With all of the latest rain though, things have cooled down a tad bit and I seriously hope it stays a little less....stifling, so we can stay out longer.

He continues to be the most helpful little baby, throwing away trash and trying to help with the laundry. He's also learning to seriously love his baths and to stand on his little stool and try to brush his teeth. Oh, and he's used his new potty a few times, but I doubt that'll come fully for a good while now. He doesn't quite use his words yet, but pretty good at listening and knowing what we're saying.
