A Look Back at July...

July was such a fun month in the Riddle household!  Davis keeps getting more & more fun and we are enjoying him so much at this age!  Here are some of the highlights from our month...

I like to make silly faces with my daddy!

I went to the pool with friends!

And I got to go to lunch at Stamey's with my Great Grandmother!

I figured out how to steer my walker & I run all over the house now!!  I'm unstoppable.

I celebrated the 4th of July at the lake. 

And had to say goodbye to Uncle Aaron & Aunt Stacy because they left for the Himalayas!  :(

Some of my friends came over to play in my pool with me.

The beginning of the month was really rainy so I played inside.
I got really good at the drums!  

I learned to use the signs "more"...

...and "finished"!

My mom and dad went to Charlotte to celebrate their 5th anniversary...
and Nana came to stay with me!  I did a great job & my parents had a great time!

Aunt Lori and Uncle Nate were in town from Germany for the summer!!

At Aunt Lori's birthday, Mimi shared some of her cake with me. And I tried to lick her plate clean! Mmm.

I am a great eater still & can feed myself most of my finger foods!

I started feeding myself with a spoon a little bit.
Just with foods like oatmeal or yogurt that stick to the spoon a little easier.

I can give you a High 5!

I love swimming!

I went to the beach with lots of my family!

I loved hanging out with Aunt Eliza, Aunt Caroline & Uncle Isaac while we were there.  :)

I was a good sleeper this month... even at the beach!
I usually sleep either 30 minutes or 1.5 hours in the morning and then 1.5 hours in the afternoon.
I started going to bed closer to 7:45 or 8 instead of 7 so I would sleep a little later in the morning.

I went to the Fort Fisher Aquarium with my mommy!

I'm going through a little bit of separation anxiety right now.
Sometimes I'd rather stay with either my mommy or daddy.

I made up a game in my room where I stand up next to my ottoman bean bag...

...and flop onto it, over & over!  It's the best game & makes me laugh so hard!

I have two teeth now so I started brushing my teeth!  I don't really love it yet!

If you ask me where my hair is, I know how to grab it! 

I give the best kisses around! 

I love to talk!  It's starting to sound like real Davis-language conversations! 

My daddy put my big boy car seats in the cars!

I learned how to stand up like a big boy!

And I started taking steps on July 6!!  Pretty soon I'll be walking everywhere!

How is this summer almost over?!
