Mila's 1 year checkup

Today Mila had her 1 year checkup.  The doctor thought she looked fantastic.  She was smiling with him the whole time.  She did great with her shots too.  After her first one she just put her head against me and cried really softly.  It was precious.  Her blood results did show that she has a bit of anemia so we have to get her to eat more meat and take some vitamins.  They will recheck her in 3 months.

Mila's Birthday Party

Today we had Mila's Birthday Party.  We had about 40 friends at the Wayland town beach.  It was a lot of fun.  The weather turned out to be perfect and the kids had a blast in the sand, water and playground. 

Instead of having cake we made cupcakes, which Elan spent the night before decorating.  He did a great job!

Happy Birthday Mila

Mila is one today!!!  This year has gone so fast.  She is a complete joy to be around.  She is so happy and wants, more than anything, to keep up with Elan.  Her laugh is fantastic and she is so super smart we know we are in trouble! 

Mila did a good job opening her gifts too....with some help from Elan.

Blueberry Picking

On Saturday we did spend some time at the beach.....

On Sunday we went blueberry picking in Stow.  Elan loves going to farms to pick fruit...and we think Mila had a blast as well.

 

Very busy weekend

This weekend we were quite busy.  On Saturday morning we went to a Birthday party.  It was a pool party and Elan had a blast in the water. 

 

Elan was trying to prefect his diving technique...enjoy the video:

After the birthday party we went to a BBQ and stayed out way to late!  On Sunday morning we got up really early.  Mat had to do a long run so he ran to Littleton where I was doing a race.  He got there about 20 min before the race was suppose to start.  It wasn't the best race venue for a double stroller so I don't think we will be doing that again next year!  After the race went to another BBQ and got home even later!  It was a quick weekend.

Long Hot Weekend

It was 4th of July so we had Thursday off from work and school.  It was hot so we spent the morning at the beach and then went to a BBQ in the evening.  We didn't stay up to watch any fireworks because by 9pm we were all exhausted!

On Saturday we went to the playground in the morning and then played in the backyard in the afternoon.  Since it was still really hot we took lots of water breaks inside.

For dinner we grilled and Mila had her first ear of corn.  Her eyes lit up with the first bite and then she gobbled it up quickly.

On Sunday we played a lot inside and Mila and Elan decided to start a band :)  During Mila's nap I took Elan to the beach to cool off and have some fun in the water.  He had a lot of fun jumping off the docks and playing in the playground.
