Yearly Check-ups

Cal and Lily went to the doctor's for their yearly check-ups. Both are in excellent health and growing well!!
Lily is quickly moving from baby stage to big girl stage. There are so many things she does herself. She can put her own sandals on, get undressed herself, put things in the garbages without being told, help clean-up, and help empty the silverware out of the dishwasher. She's so willing to help, it's great! She's talking constantly and repeating everything that is said. She's also singing. My favorite is "I a doodle nana" (I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy). She also sings "This little light of mine", "America", and "Happy Birthday". Newest saying, when Daddy walks out the door is "have fun".
Cal is such a big helper. He is a great big brother! He's always playing with his brother and sisters. If Lily needs help she often goes to Cal for it. He planted cucumbers seeds a few months ago and today picked his first cucumber. He grew them from seed in a pot on the porch and took good care of them. He's so thoughtful....he shared this rather small cucumber with his brother and sisters. He'll be starting third grade soon.....it seems just yesterday I was taking him to the park for the first time.
