Summer Vacation...

Seems babycakes is having a bit of a summer vacation. The sun and warm(ish) weather has turned my fancy to picnics and trips to the park. Finn has gone from walking to pretty much running and has absolutely no impulse control, so we spend a lot of time chasing.

Finn's latest thing is yelling. Despite us signing with him, it seems to be his primary mode of communication. I think he's working up to that 18 month language explosion and there's a lot of frustration pent up in there. We're trying to ramp up the sign language to relieve some of it.

M. isn't working, which is hard on the budget but nice on family life. We've had a ton of together time and I love every moment of it. We're looking forward to a trip up north, camping and DtD coming for a visit (yay). Then fall comes and the elections and maybe an entirely new direction for our country.

Mainly, summer is here and life rolls on.
