July Updates

Here's whats new.....

First 4th of July......Tory witnessed fireworks for the first time and loved it. The first few were loud and she buried her face in Mommy's shirt but her curiousity got the better of her and she watched in amazement long past her bedtime.

Tory is really into music lately....doesn't matter what it is... she loves it all. She dances to everything. (one video below and more to come)   She has been working on some new moves since we have been back from Florida.... Grandma and Pop-Pop were in town for a visit so Tory loved having an audience for her performances.

She got her ears pierced last Saturday....A nurse came to the house to do it. Tory let Pop-Pop hold her while the nurse marked and pierced.  It was quick and easy with minimal tears thanks to big sister Kayla who always incites smiles and giggles

Headbangin Baby!!!

Florida

Tory went with Mommy, Daddy, Kayla, Grandma and Grandpa to Florida for a family visit. She met her DiTore cousins for the first time, enjoyed some swimming and splashing, a baptism, and a birthday party.

Other than not eating well, she adapted nicely to all the excitement, new people, and surroundings. She skipped a lot of naps during the week but after one inital melt-down she held up well despite the lack of sleep.
