The Munce Family: Fun in the sun.

Fun in the sun.

We have been loving summer! So many impromptu fun outings and a few days close to home, too. Dave and I have also been working on our social life which has been an added bonus. I almost forgot how fun it is to get out of the house once in awhile.

Piper is officially 9 months old and is constantly standing, even walking around furniture! I don't think we are close to actually walking yet, in fact, Im hoping she holds off until over 12 months like the other two, but I'm not counting on it. Time will tell. She had a short bout of waking up twice each night but she has settled back into her drill of only waking once in the early morning hours (5-6am) and then going back down until 8 or so. This is a schedule I can handle. She goes with the flow and loves to be loved by Sully and Greta. When she is playing with them, she will yell and giggle and crawl all over them. Sully and Greta are both really tolerant, but get annoyed when she eats their toys.

We survived miserably hot days this month and even managed a camping trip for Dave and the kids along with an airshow with just Sully (mega thanks to Jeff for scoring us seats near the runway). The kids also went to a 'Mini Munchkin' camp put on by some neighbor girls. It was so fun for them and I know the girls who threw it were so exited and put a lot of thought and planning in to it. We have the best neighbors.

Nights are a smidgen better around here. Greta usually comes in before midnight, Sully comes in way later, if at all, and Piper has been staying in her crib all night (thanks to my discipline and not bringing her in). I know we are still a couple of years away from the busy fog to lift, but I honestly already feel like things are getting better.
