Babyzilla

Babyzilla - aka Bryn - is walking like crazy now. She took her first step on June 9 and now after a week of lots of practice in Arizona with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Heather, she is really on the move. If Breck thought she was annoying before, just wait!

It has been fun to watch Bryn grow up into her own person, some things similar to Breck and some different. Breck is stubborn but Bryn is already taking that to a whole new level! I finally have her spending the night in her crib (though with wake ups), but still  have not gotten her to nap in the crib. She will cry and cry and never go to sleep (I let her go almost 2 hours once - painful for both of us). I hope I can get her there before she starts day care in August.

We had a great visit in Arizona. Breck went to Wet n Wild three times and loved it. Hopefully next summer he will be tall enough for all the rides as he definitely wasn't scared. He's growing into a confident little boy which is nice to see. He also really swam for the first time. I ran into someone giving a lesson at the pool and booked one for him. It seemed that one-on-one time is what he really needed to make the leap to swimming more than one breath's worth. She pushed him to do more and he did it. He was so proud of himself. He's a lot more confident in the water now and I can worry just a little less.

Breck's creation in Scottsdale

Breck is also doing tball this summer. I'd be just fine with this being the last summer of that! The games are boring and the parents are something else, especially from this year's team. I almost feel like I'm back in North Ridgeville. I'm hoping he really gets into tennis so I have someone to play with in a few years. He'll start lessons again in July.

I am really enjoying learning tennis myself and playing as often as I can get time. It's been fun to learn a new sport and feel rejuvenated again. The hard part is finding the time and also dealing with still some pain in both feet. I know losing weight will help that so I'm focusing on eating healthier and moving more.

So far summer has been fun. It is nice to be off "work", but it's not exactly relaxing to be home with 2 young kids. Still, I'm very glad to get to spend the time with them. They grow up so fast.
