Here are a few key takeaways:
1. The Great Crib Debate
After no small amount of stress, pain and suffering, we removed one side of Gillian's crib and replaced it with a side that allows her freedom to roam. Not quite a big girl bed, but we're on our way! This decision came after weeks and months of videos like the ones featured in previous posts, that included screaming and crying (from Gillian, not just me).
2. Bryce has been living underwater
After a year of recurrent sinus issues/infections and some notable speech delay, the lightbulb finally went off that maybe Bryce couldn't hear! Turns out that our buddy's ears were full of fluid, and that his adenoids were twice their appropriate size. The culmination: Tubes In, Adenoids Out. Two weeks later, he's doing great and talking SO MUCH MORE. Below are a few action shots:

Summer is fun for Gillian, because she can run around with her friends, stay up late, and eat anything she wants.
Summer is fun for Bryce because he can run around without anyone bothering him, stay up late, and eat anything he wants.
Summer is fun for us because we get to watch these two little blond nugget angels have the best time ever.
From the mouths of babes:
Heard from Gillian
- We don't hit people because it's NOT NICE
- Mama: "Gillian, you already brushed your teeth in the shower, remember?" Gillian: "Absolutely not, mama, I did not brush my teeth."
- Gillian: "Mama, I have to ask you some questions" (as I'm leaving the room at bedtime). Mama: Okay Gillian, talk to me. Gillian: Okay, you can go clean the kitchen. Put on your pajamas but NO TV, you don't want to turn into a potato.
Heard from Bryce:
- Gigi!
- Noooo
- WAULA!!!!!! (Paula). Said 100x/day, always with an exclamation point at the end.
- Wawa (water)
- Upppease! (Up Please)
- Appa (apple)
- MIMI (Finally)!
