August 2012

We were gone so much this summer that we didn't get to use our fun little pool much.  We did get it out a couple of times and it was fun to be able to watch Dalia really enjoy it this year.

Dalia started playing with her diaper a lot and it would always end up like this.  It cracked me up.  (Pardon the pun.  hehe.)

We were watching the Milligan girls and Mina decided to put Nora to bed.  Then she snuggled up next to her.  It was really cute.  I think Dalia was a little jealous.

They also all climbed into Mina's tent.

I heard some noise in the kitchen and when I went to find out what was going on, this was what I found.  Dalia is just like Mina.

Mina taught Dalia how to do somersaults.  She was gotten very good at them and will just do them at random times. It's funny.

Mina also started playing soccer.  She was so excited and she's actually done quite well.  It's hilarious watching this age group play, too. We went to many playgroups and, of course, have had lots of fun with the Milligan girls.

Dalia decided to feed Nora some snacks.

Mina's aunts got her this beautiful dress.  It fit perfectly and Mina loves it.

She can fit in some tiny places.

This summer, Mina had 4 back to back UTIs.  It was really hard on her and after recovering she needed a little help getting to the bathroom on time.  I told her if she worked really hard she could pick something fun to do.  She wanted to have Teresa come over to make cookies with her.  They were so funny to have as helpers.  Most of the time they were licking their hands or just plain eating the dough, but they got some of the dough to the cookie sheet.  Aren't their cookies awesome?

Dalia sure enjoyed the fruits of their labors.

We got to watch the girls' friend, Ian one day and we ventured out to the park.  I brought my camera and happened to get the most amazing shot of Dru throwing Dalia in the air.  She absolutely loves flying through the air.
