May was full of really fun things like meeting friends at the children's museum, playing outside with neighbors, going to the park and then the pool towards the end of the month when it opened. We're exhausted at the end of most days, but loving it.
Ira started walking at the beginning of the month and saying a few different words! He's suddenly seeming so grown up and he wants everything his brother has which has been interesting. He's smiling constantly and much friendlier to strangers. He even goes in the nursery at church without screaming his head off, which is a miracle!
Henrik has been getting pretty engrossed in his toys and being outside. I definitely used to wonder if he would ever play well on his own and now he hardly wants to stop playing. He had his first dentist appointment and did awesome. He acted like it was a routine thing and it was so logical that someone needed to stick tools in his mouth. And of course he enjoyed chatting with the hygienist and filling her in on the ant problem we're having at home.
I think this is going to be a great summer, especially because the last couple of summers haven't been great. Two summers ago I was in the first trimester and sick and exhausted. Last summer was all about moving which changed a lot of vacation plans, etc. and along with moving I was dealing with postpartum/hormone issues and some other heavy stuff. So, now...
I'm not pregnant. I'm not tied to a baby 24/7. I'm not packing up my house. I'm not navigating a new city. The boys have the same nap schedule (mostly) and they're playing well. And really they're fairly easy/fun to take places. All these things are making me realize that this is our summer to really capitalize on the stage we're in and enjoy it!

| Ira isn't entertained by most of the shows Henrik watches, but I found out he'll sit through part of a really obnoxious kid's song show on Netflix. I love how they're both holding their blanks in the exact same spot/way. |
