busy times!

Summer is a whirlwind. I can't keep track of what we're doing when, and it feels like we're always headed out somewhere. Poor Colin's having a hard time napping on the go, so I've tried to keep us to just one or two outings a day. Gavin is loving the Hoppin' Hippo in Hutto, a fun indoor play place with inflatables, a treehouse, and other stuff for the kiddos to play with. When we went on Friday he actually went into and jumped inside one of the inflatable bounce houses - a first for him! Usually he only goes in when his daddy goes with him, but this time he followed Bryant in and had a blast.

Colin's been talking up a storm lately. Today, every time he finished nursing he would lay in my lap and just babble away. So so so so cute!

Scott competed in the Urban Assault Race today with our friend Tommy, so the boys and I went to hang out with Roxanne, Vincent, and Thompson at their house. It was so nice to visit and let the boys play! We had a really nice time. Gavin went swimming in his underwear and made a big ol' splash in the kiddie pool (poor Thompson wasn't expecting that and got a surprise splash, sorry kid!), then played inside with all of T's fun toys.

Gavin is completely potty trained! He's in underpants all day and night, including naps and overnight. He has accidents here and there (his most common one is first thing in the morning if he doesn't get to the toilet in time for his "big morning pee") but they're really pretty rare. More and more he's telling us that he needs to go rather than waiting for us to ask (as we do every 15-30 minutes) if he needs to go. I'm really proud of how well he's doing. He's such a big boy!!
