clap clap clap

First I want to make sure everyone voted for Summer in the Parent's model search, if not you can still vote http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif
Now onto the good stuff, we had a very busy but great weekend. On Saturday morning Summer had a new friend come over, Chloe. Chloe is 3 months older than Summer, but that doesn't mean she is smaller, Summer is my little chunky monkey! The girls played together, they did fine, they shared toys, then we let them get into the pool and they had fun. At this age they really aren't playing with each other much, but I enjoy seeing Summer reaction to someone else in her room, and she is nice and pleasant so far. Here is a picture of the girls playing together on the activity table, they did so good together. After Chloe and Jessica (the mom) left, Summer immediately took a nap, I guess she had an exciting and fun packed morning. Later that afternoon we went over the Springston's house for some BBQ and a game night. Summer did so good at their house, for the first time she actually wandered off on her own, she chased (crawled) Becca around the rooms, she played with the remotes, she actually left my and daddy's sides, it was nice, and of course she was so tired she fell asleep on their couch, even though we were yelling and making all kinds of noise, she managed to sleep through it too.
On Sunday I stayed home - gas is getting outrageous, I wanted to go back to the mall and let Summer play in the kid area but it wasn't worth the traffic or the trip so we stayed home and hung around the house and played.
Summer has started to clap, all the time. She figured it out on her own, we never really clapped much, mostly she figured it out listening to music, isn't it amazing how music effects how we feel? All weekend she kept clapping. She does this thing where she claps her hands then she puts both hands on her legs and repeats. She also kisses ALL THE TIME now, it is so cute, come give me a kissy results in her crawling over, opening her mouth and sometimes sticking out her tongue, to give you a kiss, but it is still so cute! She is such a big girl, both days this weekend Summer had grilled cheese for lunch, small pieces, and fresh fruit. I bought the low sugar jelly and non bad oil peanut butter for this week, and got her some more yogurt and some fresh strawberries and bananas. She is still only on two bottles a day now, when she wakes up and when she goes to sleep, and she has some formula at lunch in the sippy cup, but she really prefers the food, which I guess is a good thing, my baby is getting so big. No more walking, I can tell she needs more time, once she gets up the courage she is going to take off because she has the balance down fine, or once she gets tired of crawling on the floor. It will be nice to get rid of the walker, and at the same time it is going to suck having to watch her downstairs, we will have to install the safety locks real soon.
