Iowa and Cedar Point

Hello everyone!! I've had a few new adventures this summer so I thought I would share them with you. On June 20th I traveled to Iowa all by myself. Mommy, Daddy, and sister Brynn drove with me to the edge of Indiana to meet up with Grandma and Grandpa Otteman. I traveled on to Maquoketa to stay with Grandma and Grandpa for the week. We had a great time going to the park, checking out the Aquarium, Putnam museum and also the water park.I also got to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Eaton. We had a nice time coloring, putting together puzzles and of course playing with Macie.Thursday afternoon I got to go swimming with Jessica and then go fishing with Jason, Jessica, and Kenley. Daddy was a little sad that he was not with me when I caught my very first fish.I had a very exciting week and look forward to spending time with everyone again.
Brynn also had a few milestones in the month of June. Mommy decided to start her on cereal June 13th. She cried the entire time she was eating but did a very good job.Tuesday, June 22nd, Brynn rolled over from her back to her belly for the first time. On Monday, June 28th, Brynn had her 4 month check-up. She weighed 14 lbs and was 25 1/2 inches long. Dr. Weinberg said she looked great. Here is her 4 month picture.On June 29th I started my summer speech sessions. My teachers name is Teri and we hit it off right away. I will be meeting with her 5 times over the summer.
Mommy and Daddy took sissy and I to Cedar Point Resort in Sandusky, Ohio on July 3rd. Here's a picture of the park as we were driving. We checked in to the Hotel Breakers on Lake Erie for the weekend. We headed to our room and quickly changed to hit the beach. I wasn't so sure about the sand at first but I slowly warmed up.Ready for the beach.Brynn loved to rub her toes in the sand and even got a handful in her mouth :(We spent the entire weekend between the beach and the 3 pools on the resort.We had a great view of the park from our window. I could sit there and watch the roller coasters all day.Brynn and I got all dressed up for the 4th.I don't know what was so funny?After dinner we headed to the beach to get a spot for the fireworks. They were awesome!I've also spent some time splashing in the pool at home this summer.Brynn and I decided to give Dad a call at work. It was her turn to talk to Daddy.Brynn fell asleep in her jumper.And then I fell asleep with my football.This summer has been a blast so far and it is only half way over. I have my yearly check-up with Dr. Weinberg tomorrow and then I start tumbling on Tuesday. We will be traveling to Minnesota at the end of the month to visit Grandpa Larson,visit the Mall of America, and see the Minnesota Vikings practice!!
Oh....almost forgot, I started to go pee in the potty this week :) I am doing a wonderful job. Mommy and Daddy are so proud. We all clap and put stickers on my progress chart.

Love and hugs to all,

Luke William and Brynn Elyse
