A whole month in 1 post!

Half of August was spent in SG on vacation we didn't end up doing much in August. Here is a short summary of the month:

* Levi wasn't eating baby food or solid food.  He was living off of bottles and mashed potatoes!
* Levi weighed 18.5lbs at his 1 year check up and was 28"? long (I will have to double check that)
* Levi got Roseola, Lucas got a cold

*Lucas tried Brian's cherry 7-up on Saturday and liked it.  On Sunday morning Lucas asked me if he could have some "burn juice".  I had no idea what he was talking about until he pulled a can of the soda out of the fridge! You can tell we don't have soda in our house often...
*Lucas is cracking me up with his tactics of trying to stay up even jsut a few minutes later.  Tonight when I was walking out of his room he said "MOM!" me: What Lucas?" .. no response .. "Goodnight Lucas"  Lucas:"MOM!" me: "What Lucas?"  Lucas: "Mom, I need some money in my room"
* I was Carrying Lucas on my shoulders and he said "Wow! You are a Super Hero" (not to be confused with a Superhero) "Just like Mickey Mouse"

Eating watermelon (if you look closely you can see a few Roseola spots left

 Since the weather felt to cool compared to SG, we made a trip to the zoo

Baby Rosie

Playing in the spashing water to cool off

These birds are sooo neat! Their tongues are like a straw with little suction cup feelers on them

Lucas LOVES to ride the train at the zoo

Levi was super into watching the Sea Lion/Seal feeding

Once Levi got out of the stroller he was SUPER excited to point and see all of the animals

Levi was so happy to play with the turtles

Lightning Storms

July/August is supposed to be monsoon season here.  It rained just about every afternoon.  Usually not tons, but enough to get your car dirty.  This night in particular the lightning and thunder was super CRAZY!
