Summer Happenings

We have had a great summer!  Navy has enjoyed being in the pool every week and has even started to try to "swim" by kicking her feet and moving one of her arms when she is trying to get from one point to another in the pool.  Jonathan plans on taking her swimming this winter at the gym during their time together in the mornings so that we won't have to start all over next summer getting her acclimated to being in the water. 

Navy loves being outside and playing with sidewalk chalk, bubbles, her car and playing on her swing set.

Since the weather has cooled down a bit, we have been able to go to the zoo a couple of times recently.  Navy loves to pet the goats, thanks to Jonathan.  I personally think they are dirty and stinky, but oh well.....

Navy will turn two in less than three weeks.  She is starting to talk a lot more, but most of it is gibberish.  She gets very frustrated when we don't understand what she is saying :(  She also sings songs, but we have no idea what she is singing.  She likes to play with her baby dolls and has now started to ask to sleep with one of them at night.  Her Aunt Melanie bought her some dress-up accessories recently and her favorite item to wear is bunny ears.  She also loves playing with her Little People cars and calls them by some  family member's names....the blonde girl is "Navy", the blonde boy is "Kenan", "Daddy" is the police car and "Momma" is the Batman car.....why I am the Batman I don't know.  I think Jonathan taught her this, but he denies it! 

She is quite stubborn and demanding at times, but more often than not she is sweet and loving.      She seems to have developed quite a personality in the last month, and I am afraid that we may be in trouble in the coming years!
