July

Our trip out west and the birth of Oona's son Max were definitely the highlights of the month.
Replacing the septic system and Laura's wrist surgery to remove the ganglion cyst were the low points.

It's been really hot out but we've been managing to beat the heat by swimming in friends' pools. Everett even has her own itty bitty pool.

Everett is 4 months old and has changed a lot this month: she has gone from the Bumbo seat to the regular table seat and she can sit up on her own now. She can lie on her back and grab her feet. She can ride in the umbrella stroller now too. She is officially ticklish now. She had her first cold in mid July but didn't really get very sick. At her 4 month check up with Dr. Benton she weighed 16.5 pounds (92nd percentile), and measured 25.5 inches tall (89th percentile)
