Movin' at the Speed of Light

To say my children are active would be a little bit of an understatement. I compare them to something more like spider monkeys amped up on a sugar high but what do I really know about spider monkeys anyway. They very well could be less active than my kids. The point is, Harrison and Brooks are on the go and there's nothing I can do to stop it. My only option is to try and wear them down by keeping them busy with endless activities but by the end of the day, I seem to be the one who is ready for a timeout.

Little Miss Brooksie is exactly 7 months and she has learned a few new tricks. She is crawling, can bring herself to sitting, and oh yeah, she can pull herself up to stand. I'm considering putting weights on her ankles so that she doesn't start walking tomorrow which I'm afraid will probably happen anyway. She is also babbling up a storm and I'm pretty sure she will be a talker, just like her mama.

And Mr. Harrison is taking on the swimming pool like a fish. He was a little hesitant of the pool at the beginning of spring but after spending a lot of time in the water, he has gotten his stamina back and is ready for some serious swimming. His buddies, Noah & Ethan, came over the other day and all 3 boys decided to tackle the pool. Ethan learned how to swim, Noah worked on his jumps, and Harrison took off kicking on his boggie board. As soon as he can lift that head up while swimming, I'll be looking into some lifeguard positions for him so that he can get a summer job. For practice of course.
