More of Summer 2012

Thomas celebrated turning 9 months old in July and wanted to show off his newest trick in his monthly picture, standing all on his own!
We had a few more Pinterest success stories with my nieces. After the waterless pool we made soap clouds by microwaving ivory soap and then made our own colored soaps with food coloring and cookies cutters.
Next we made slime with glue and starch. That was a hit too! Even Jimmy loved this one!
This next craft was by far the favorite (and the easiest). We made paper towel butterflies. Seriously people, paper towels, food coloring, water and twist ties. The girls LOVED them.
We spent time swinging, swimming, and celebrating the Olympics!
Thomas also discovered just what it is he loves most about his "Aunt" Maggie (Grandma and Grandpa's dog), her tail! Oh and lets not forget teething, Thomas chews on EVERYTHING!
