I was hoping that once I got the school schedule down, life would slow down, too! That doesn't seem to be the case. August flew by and September went just as fast! Annika is settling into her school routine just as I expected her to. She is a "stick to the schedule" type of person. As in, do NOT stray from the schedule or mass mayhem ensues. I'm sure that it will get easier as she gets older but she does not adapt well to changes in schedule. And that's okay.
We finally found a gymnastics class for her to join. It sounds like just what she needs. And Girl Scouts is coming up too! After Fall Break, Annika started an after-school Math program. She is very mathematically minded, but she has a hard time understanding certain math concepts. Math Whizz will help her with this. Next week is parent/teacher conferences. Holy cows! I can't believe that the first quarter of school is done!
Lo is on the move. Crawling, crawling, crawling! She does walk, but prefers to crawl. She is a little peanut at 16 lbs but she is a very good eater so I am not at all concerned!
The hikes we've been taking are fun! I just bought a new pair of hiking shoes and I am eager to try them out. Our hikes have been postponed or canceled the last three weeks due to scheduling and weather. I am hoping that we will get back in the saddle this weekend.
As October comes to a close we have a visitor coming in: My MIL. She will be meeting Annika for the first time. They are both excited. We are also volunteering at the Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk again this year. Annika is very excited about it. She has been bugging Travis to get us signed up! We have the girls' Halloween costumes. Annika will be a Sweet Lil Treat and Lo is going to be Rapunzel from Tangled.
Going in to November we have a birthday party to plan. It's hard to believe that Lo is 10.5 months old already! Time flies!
I think that's pretty much everything that's been happening in the last month or so!
A hui hou!
