Frogs and Teeth

We had a great breakfast with Sloane's baby family at Eggs in the City on Saturday. It was, as ever, special and amazing and completely unbelievable. If you had told me that these people would become part of our family in this weird and special way, I wouldn't have believed it.

Afterwards, we met Natalie and Alek at Red Butte Gardens. They were babysitting G (Georgiana, at least I think that's how you spell it) who is 17 months and Eliza who is 6 while her dad took a photography class. It was a kind of gloomy day but we had a ball. There was red dirt. And water fountains with frogs in them. And oversized lizards to climb on. I read the sign by the fountains to Tagg - Do not throw dirt in the fountains. About 10 minutes later, he goes over and points at the sign - "Don't throw dirt fountain!" And then he threw a handful of dirt in the fountain! Well, at least he knew the words, right?

Sunday was Kayla's blessing. She was born the day after Tagg's 2nd birthday, July 27th, so she's about 6 weeks younger than Sloane. It's amazing to see how much they grow so quickly. Like if you put Sloane in between Harper who is 5 weeks older and Kayla you can pretty much see her future and her past. I know that won't last long and pretty soon they'll be like evil girlie triplets but for now it's pretty cool.

Sloane followed in her brother's footsteps, busting out some big momentous occasions with Scott's family - and the camera. She broke through both bottom teeth on Sunday (hence the fingers in the mouth) and is super close to sitting up on her own. She's just a little too weebly to let sit on her own for too long. She's been mildly fussy but it's amazing how chill she's been considering that she's teething. She's also sleeping through the night and loves to stand up! I think she'll be walking sooner than later.
