Independence Day Celebration

We're having a nice summer so far!

Friday July 3rd we went boating and let Kayla splash around in the lake a little bit. She was more interested in eating and playing with her stickers but still had a good time. Later that evening we went to the free fireworks show in Villa Rica. Kayla seemed to enjoy that as well but was out way past her usual bedtime.

On the 4th we marched in our neighborhood's pet parade but Kayla didn't enjoy that very much I think because she was so tired from being up late the night before. It was quite a sight though to see all kinds of dogs getting along pretty well. We then went to Cary's sister's pool for a little bit and then just took it easy that night.

Kayla is catching on to everything very quickly. She knows her colors, can count to 10, loves to draw and color, and of course thinks she can do everything herself. Yesterday she was in our bedroom and when I walked in she was in her playpen. I didn't put her in there so I asked her to show me how she got in. She climbed on the bed and then went from there to the playpen. Pretty smart!

With her own Declaration of Independence comes challenges of trying to keep her still and quiet in church. It's basically impossible. She is also starting to have some separation anxiety in certain situations but for the most part still adapts pretty well.

Enjoy the pics!
