Late August 2008--Summer daze

August 19, 2008--Holding hands

Addison really likes to hold Avery's hand. Here she was showing me how she could hold her sister's hand. When they are in Aaron's truck and their carseats are right next to each other, Addison always like to reach over and hold Avery's hand for the ride.

August 15, 2008--MO Botanical Garden

When Papa and GrandMary were in town, we visited the Botanical Garden. I remember going there with my parents when we visited St. Louis when I was in kindergarten, so it was fun making the trip with them again.

August 8, 2008--First trip to the zoo

We finally got the chance to go to the zoo on a gorgeous day in August. Addison had a great time seeing all the animals (we actually brought along her Noah's Ark book so that she could match up familiar images to real life animals).

Avery slept most of the morning we were at the zoo, but woke up in time to see the baby giraffe.

August 6, 2008--Pushing up and sitting up (with help)

Avery doesn't really like to be on her stomach. So getting her to work on building her upper body strength has a been a challenge. Here Avery is on her stomach before screaming crying (for a few seconds at least).
Soon after we gave up being on our stomach, we moved to the Bumbo and then the couch. She looks much happier.
