Update on Kid Photos





Some new photos of our guys!
~ And Video of Axy below ~

Luka had a fun time watching fireworks set off by our neighbor, as well as the city's fireworks from down the street. It was very windy, but they still went off as planned and were a great display. Axy was in bed, asleep, despite all the noise of firecrackers and home-based firecrackers popping and cracking. Luka is doing well and very active, having recently ridden on the tagalong bike for a strenuos bike ride from Nederland to the Hessie town site trail stream crossing with his friend Ada (and her parents, of course).

He took to the bike like a natural and really appreciated being able to pedal and ride like a big person (as opposed to being in the trailer/Chariot). Then, for 4th of July, he and mommy rode together with the tagalong to the EB Rains park in Northglenn (about a 45 minute ride) and met Axy and Papa there (who had come by car with the picnic lunch). There were bouncy castles and other festivities along with the normal fun playground and kid water fountain at this park, for Independenace Day. We can also say that it was VERY hot!

Axel is talking a lot, and saying a lot of French words too (being that Papa is his most favorite person on the face of the Earth, that makes a lot of sense). He says so many words now, I can't think of them all. A new one that we all thought was funny (albeit in English), was downtown. It is too cute when he says it. He went downtown with Luka and Mommy last weekend for church and started saying this on his own. Oh, yeah, and another fav word is also in English, and it is out. As in, get me out of my crib, let me out of this shopping cart, etc. He also loves to watch and say oiseau(x) and loves to talk, even when we don't catch all of what he is saying. To hear him saying some of his fav words, go to our video site by clicking on the image below.
