Photo Dump, Part II

I know, I know. It's been five weeks since my last blog post. It's been busy. Here are the last of an iPhone photo dump, continued from five weeks ago! I have to get in the last of the summer photos before summer is officially over (full disclosure: this is not the last of my summer photos!).

Here's Finn from his first dental visit with my regular dentist, before the summer (!), last spring. At that appointment they found 8 cavities and referred us to a pediatric dentist.  The story is so long and I don't really want to get into it, but because of Finn's high carbohydrate diet (because of his IVA), and because I gave him lots of low-protein, but sugary/sticky foods like raisins and fruit leathers, he ended up needing some extensive dental work done. Yes, we brushed his teeth regularly, yes, I feel like a terrible mom, but I'm glad to say that it's all been taken care of now. On the upside, if you ever need to know a fantastic pediatric dentist in the Nashville area, I've got your guy! We love him.

Now back to more summery photos. We checked off every item from our Summer Bucket List and here are a few more photos, including story time/puppet show at the downtown library, with a chocolate croissant at Provence bakery afterwards.

 We had so much fun at Nashville's new Cumberland Park, down by the Titans stadium, this summer. We mostly played at the splash pad but one evening the whole family went down and explored the misting field, the rock climbing wall, the trails, the huge slide (not very long, but wide enough for our entire family to slide down at one time), and the overlook of the Cumberland River. It was a hot day and we loved hanging out in the field full of misters.

 Some days it was so hot we just wore diaper covers and boots, obviously.

 As always, there was lots of singing at the top of our lungs.

 This photo makes me laugh. When Finn wants to be alone (or just get naked or be mischievous) he likes to go hide behind this curtain which covers a large shelving unit. The other day I couldn't find him (perhaps because the room was so messy?) until I noticed the pair of boots sticking out of the curtain.

And this one is from the spring, when Carolina realized she could turn the light switch on from her crib. Why anyone put a light switch in the middle of the wall is beyond me. Now we have to pull the crib out from the wall every night when we put her to bed.

 Okay! My goal is to do one more post covering all of our Summer Bucket List activities and to do it in the next three days, so let's see how good I am!
