Monkey See, Monkey Do, Monkey Get In Trouble (times two!)

It's been hot, hot, hot in Minnesota lately. We know what hot weather brings, lots of red, sweet and ripe tomatoes. Tomatoes mean BLT's. Yummy! They are so good and worth every bite. Emily loves the cherry tomatoes. She stands and eats them right off the vine in the backyard. Hopefully, she will continue her love of tomatoes.

Louie figured out how to climb up the slide backwards. The kids never ceases to amaze us with all his new tricks. Everyday is something new.

I realized as I was writing in his baby book last week that he and Emily started walking within the same 12 month period. We're pretty sure that he'll be running faster than she does shortly. He already can get to the top of the stairs faster. He has no fear of anything and Old Lady Pelletier won't even go down one step without turning around and holding on. He just goes head first.

The kids are really enjoying the sandbox this summer. Lou is always thinking that there is something edible. He usually has a big mouthful when he sitting in there.
Look, he's got three teeth now! But already eating corn on the cob. . . On Saturday, we took Emily to Kids Hair and she got her first "real" haircut. I was surprised how she sat in the chair so nicely and let the lady trim up her hair. I usually just give it a trim in the tub, but thought she could use a memorable cut. It was crappy and rainy on Saturday, so we went to Ikea and walked around. About 5,000 other people thought that was a good thing to do as well. We had dinner there too. Emily LOVES the Swedish meatballs. Lou loves the french fries. They both LOVE chocolate milk.
