August means.....GRANDPARENTS AND UNCLE DENNIS!

August means a lot of things around here, summer is about over, school supplies need to be bought, clothes need to be in order but around here August means Grandma and Grandpa Cichos and Uncle Dennis come to visit. We so look forward to this. Kids start working on their card playing ability, Rosie starts practicing her singing, I look forward to a few days of relaxation and chit chatting catching up and we plan as little as possible, on purpose! I think we need the calm down as much as anyone else! Especially me, I must say...all summer long, run, run, run but when the grandparents come its just time to enjoy the family.

This year grandpa and grandma brought a lot of pictures I had given them through the years and some grandpa printed from my email updates, it sure was fun looking through the pictures. We worked on a project to send grandma and grandpa home with a book that entailed each child with their birth stats and other important milestones. I enjoyed putting it together, and the left over pictures I'm going to save for the children, so they can build their own photo books. So that was fun.

We laughed at some of the song's Rosie sang that she heard off the radio! Gong to have to watch that radio, that's for sure. Gwena said both grandma and grandpa while they were here. Joe stuck to his grandpa like glue, buddies since the very beginning! The kids enjoyed playing hide the thimble and cards, along with the little ones learning war and Tony learning numbers with grandma. All in all we had a great visit.

We had some funny moments with Dennis and Rosie. The kids have always really adored Dennis, its so funny because he's a your cute and nice to be around and all...but you are also a loud little person. hahahaha. I'm just kidding of course. So now they have gone home, darn... that means.... time to get ready to get real busy.... oh, well it was great while it lasted!

Their 67 Wedding Anniversary is on the 18th! Isn't that just so awesome!

Oldest and Youngest...brothers...and friends...

Tony's Milestones

Newborn-baptism with Doug and Beth Hipps as godparents 2 weeks-first bath 1 month-loves to sleep with Mommy 2 months--smiles big and happily finally nursing well 5month says Mama and Dada the following week 5 months-6months he sits, a little with help and finally without, but we still have to be careful--he pulls himself back 6 months, sleeps 9-5am about once/twice a week, but wakes up just to nurse the rest of the time and goes back to sleep. 6months sleeps in his own bed majority of the time. 6months finally likes tummy time and inch worms 6mo does a crazy shake rattle and roll when he's excited...all hyper like, so cute! 7mo waves, reaches to be picked up, says "Hi" and is eating table food-he prefers to feed himself. 8mo. Saying Dada and getting on his knees rocking back and forth. Loves to eat. Says MMMM--ama! and signs when he wants to eat with his hand to his mouth. 9mo. Tony crawls, waves and claps. 10mo. Tony pulls himself to stand, gets his first tooth. Very happy to be able to go, go, go. Sleeps in the boys room now. At 11mo tony is like a rhino...charge! This week its been Mommy, Mommy, Mommy...have to admit...I love hearing him say it.

Milestones

Rosa 4 months says Mama
5 months says Dada
6 months sits unaided, laughs, plays with toys and watches Play with me Sesame.
Jackie bathes her, Carolyn sings to her, Katelyn rocks her and the little kids love to play with her. She's a Mama's girl right now and may be teething.
7 months Rosa reaches for her own toys and plays so nicely on her own
8 months Rosa is beginning to crawl and has her first tooth!
9 months has her second tooth. She crawls everywhere, talks...today she said "I did it", she chases the vacuum cleaner, cruises along furniture and even lifts her leg over a ride on toy and got on.
