Happy 4th...and more!

July has been a busy month so far and we're only half-way through the month! We had a lot of fun visiting with friends Bob and Camaryn from Philly. We did a lot while they were here...Haidyn and Kealon went to their first baseball game to see the Rays sweep the Red Sox (sorry, Bob). We went to the world famous Brandon parade on the 4th, where Julian and Kealon gathered as much candy and bead necklaces as they could carry! We hung out at the pool and ate bbq until we burst on more than one of the days they were here. And we even made it out to the zoo where Camaryn treated Kealon to a horse ride--one of his favorite things! It was a great week.

Haidyn has hit the 3 1/2 month mark, and I just couldn't wait any longer to experiment with some rice cereal. I added a video in the right margin! She wasn't as interested in the whole experience as her brother was when he first tried it! She sort of moved the cereal around her mouth and then pushed it out with her tongue, which is probably the normal reaction vs Kealon who grunted for more with every spoonful! She's getting better at it each day, though. Haidyn's favorite things right now are snuggling her face into blankets whether in her bed or in her carseat or swing AND she is doing lots and lots of coo-ing and babbling. We are waiting in anticipation for the big day when she finally decides to at least make an attempt at turning over! She seems perfectly content to stay in one place right now...I guess I should enjoy that while it lasts! :)
