Amelia on the bars

So proud of sweet Amelia.  She has been working extremely hard this summer on bars!  First video is Amelia doing her pullover back hip circle.

And finally...Amelia's dismount!  Still needs a little work but oh so proud of her!

She became a little frustrated but maybe because I kept saying one more time, one more time!!  Anyhoo, congrats Amelia!!  Hard work pays off:)

We love love.

I was putting Maddox to bed last night and told him I loved him.  He said, "Me too, Mama."  I then asked him, "Do you know what love is?"  He said, "You, Dad, hugs and kisses."  I think that pretty much sums it up.  I am so grateful that at age 2 he understands that we love him so much.  Drew and I try to make sure both kids feel loved every second of every day.  I know that seems so unrealistic, especially when a good portion of my day is spent saying, "pick up your toys, don't hit each other, no jumping on mom's bed, and don't pee in the floor."  (You can guess who this reminder is for.)  But for the most part, I am proud to say that I think we have succeeded in this department....just ask Maddox;)
