Peek-a-boo
It's so great, Braenna is finally getting to the age that she can interact with Mikaiya. Today they were playing peek-a-boo through Mikaiya's easel. It was so cute! Braenna was having a great time and Mikaiya just LOVES to make her laugh:
Butterflies!
We took the girls to the butterfly exhibit at the Heard Natural Science Museum that is here near our house. It was a pretty small exhibit compared to others we have seen, but it was actually nice because it was not crowded and they got to spend a lot of interrupted time looking at the butterflies. Here are some pics that we took:
Naptime
These pictures are from last weekend. I thought they were too cute not to share. Braenna fell asleep Sunday afternoon, so I covered her up and laid her on the floor.
Mikaiya saw her and decided to join her. Before I knew it, they were both asleep.
So cute!!

July Update
Okay, so I might be just a tad late...again! We had a busy July that started off with our trip to Hayward (see previous blog). Things have calmed down some since then, but have still been hectic. We came home in time to get to meet two new little additions to our circle of friends; Eryn Olivia Schwendeman was born on July 8 and Megan Michele Renshaw was born on July 15. It is always cool to get to hold the itty-bitty newborns and get our baby fix!
The girls have been doing well. Mikaiya is...well...3. Whoever said 2 is terrible was a liar! 2 was nothing compared to 3! We still adore our little angel, but she has learned new and exciting ways to try every last ounce of patience we have on a daily basis. She still amazes us with how smart she is. She officially moved into Pre-School this month and is mastering all of the new skills she is learning at school. She is becoming an expert with scissors and is getting really good at tracing letters. She can even write several of the letters in her name on her own.
Braenna has quite the little personality. It is her way, or no way. She is into everything these days and is now a pro at the whole walking thing. She loves to explore the cabinets and climb the stairs. We have now had to put a gate up at the bottom of the stairs, which we never did for Mikaiya. Funny how different they are! Braenna is also talking a lot now. She has down several "B" words now like book, baby, bottle, and ball. She also is saying NO and daddy (not da-da) as of the last couple days.
Well, that's probably enough for now. Here is the link to the July pictures:
