August in review

This month, I have obviously not kept up with the blog. Here are the highlights of this last month:

• Avery took her very first steps! She really wants to walk, and practices standing all day long. I'm sure she will be everywhere soon.
  
  
• My toothless baby is toothless no more. (Maybe she'll start looking like her age). Poor thing had six teeth coming in all the same time.
  
  
• Avery finally slept the entire night long- from 8:00pm to 7:00am. Yeah! And we didn't have to let her cry it out! She has yet to repeat the performance, but we are getting close.
• Avery has also found a new favorite game:
• 
  
  
• Bailey got her second ever haircut- from her two-year friend, Bailee. Luckily, even though the trash can was full of her beautiful curls, her hair is so thick you can hardly tell. One side is noticeably thinner. Oh well. I think it's time for another haircut.
• Mike and I had our first full day sans kids at King's Island, an amusement park in Cincinnati. We had a great time.
• Mike thought he had decided on general surgery, but is having a hard time letting go the great hours and equally great pay of orthopaedic surgery. He's doing radiology next month, and that specialty is still on the table. He's seriously thinking about interventional radiology because of the lifestyle and pay. Applications can be submitted Sept. 1st, only a few days away. Hopefully a brain wave will come his way ASAP. Maybe I'll set up a poll and take everyone's opinion...
