Rolling & Singing

This is Elijah's six month picture. I have no idea how the photographer caught such a huge smile! So, Elijah still won't roll over from his tummy to his back (what he used to do), but he did manage to learn how to go from his back to his tummy. When he first did it he would get his one arm stuck under his body - and it took him three days to figure out how to pull it out! He's an expert sitter now and can even stay up when Seara tries to push him down!

Samuel is trying to get Seara to draw, but she seems to be more interested in stacking the paper and organizing the crayons than she is in drawing pictures. Just like her mama! She goes around the house singing her own renditions of "Old MacDonald", "Twinkle, Twinkle", and probably many others. I just can't really understand most of what she says. Yesterday she twice, and very clearly, asked for a "drink of water", though.

Samuel is still working on his book and teaching his art lessons. I am currently working on weeding our yard. My mom, Lissa, and Liam all came down here yesterday and we put in about 15 man-hours or weeding. We got a lot done, but it feels like we've barely scratched the surface. Oh well! When this summer is over and our yard is all done I will be SOOO relieved!!
