The last week or so has been scorching!! Actual temperatures in the mid 90's but up into the triple figures with the humidity. I have never been so grateful for air conditioning!! But still, we have tried to get out and about as much as possible - to places with water or a/c.
One outdoor playdate we went on was to the sculpture garden in Minneapolis. All the kids had a wonderful time running around the gardens and exploring the sculptures. Across the road there is the Walker Art Centre where they have a cupboard full of toys that you can borrow. So the kids (and some of the adults!) had lots of fun with that. They were serving food there too so we managed to get lunch all done and dusted before going home. All in all a really fantastic time!
Oliver's visits from the special education team are all done now. We got his report in the post yesterday stating that he is pretty much bang on average for his age in all areas of development so that is fantastic news. He never stops talking so that's a good sign right??!!
Emily is doing well although I have started putting gripe water in her milk as I am concerned she may have a bit of reflux coming back (if it ever went away). She has been spending a lot of awake time upset, she has been sick a lot and spends a great deal of time arching her back - so much so that she can move herself from one end of the cot to the other. Anyway, she has been taking it for 3 days now and I think there has been some improvement but I'm going to have to give it longer before I know for sure. She still seems very eager to sit up and move around but she's not quite there yet so she gets very frustrated :)
Yesterday we went out and bought a new swimming pool for Oliver. Well, for both the kids really but Emily won't really enjoy it until next year! Oliver had great fun in it yesterday afternoon although he was scared of the pump we have to blow it up. He stayed well away while I was doing that :)
This week we will be celebrating Oliver's 3rd birthday. He is having a party on Wednesday morning (pretty much a glorified playdate!) and Jon has the day off on his actual birthday (Friday) so we'll figure out something to do then. Just think, 3 years ago today I was still working :))
Tummy time (she's not the biggest fan)

It looks like Oliver posed for this one but he didn't - he was just trying to make his way down the sculpture!
Is there anything in this cone??!!
I can hold the bottle all by myself - I'm nearly 5 months old you know!!
Check out my belly!!!
My attempt at propping the little lady up - it wasn't long until she slipped over!
