Swim Lessons

Grace and I've been doing swim lessons this week at the local community pool, and we've been having a blast! She's slowly getting more used to putting her face in the water, and today I actually got her to float on her back with me just barely touching her. I'm so proud of you, my precious daughter!Posted by Picasa

10 Months and Standing!


Posted by Picasa
Last Thursday, Andrew pulled himself up for the first time on the dresser in our room (he was fascinated trying to open and close the drawers), and he's been enthralled with practicing it ever since. Whenever he wakes up in his crib, I find him standing like this - generally crying as he's gotten himself up and can't get himself back down. He's happily cruising the house now checking out anything and everything! This evening, he spent a long while standing at the window in the living room, just looking. He's emptying laundry baskets, and pulling out all the electronic stuff we've been storing by the TV. It's gotten trickier again, but I'm loving it. :-)

Eight Months and Crawling!

Well, it's still technically an army scoot, but as of today, my life has changed forever. Again. :-) Within minutes, our little guy can now scoot himself to pretty much any point in a room, and he's been having a blast checking out the tv, his closet, and underneath Grace's little table. Mama and Grace are still recuperating. (Just kidding. Kinda.) And Mama and Daddy have some serious childproofing to do tonight!

From the "I don't want to forget that" pile...

In the car today, Grace was telling me about the puppies she saw on a Daddy-date from several weeks ago:

Gracie: We saw a Bichon and a Peek-a-poo!

Mama to Daddy: Did she just say Bichon?

Painting Andrew's Room

I've been looking forwards to painting our kid(s)'s rooms for years, and we finally did it! Well, one wall at least. My sister came over tohelp us paint last week, and Grace had a blast working on her little section. :-)

Six months!

Andrew turned 6 month old last Sunday, and it's been an exciting week for our little guy! His first tooth finally poked through - the bottom middle, though we'd been thinking we felt one on the top for a couple months now. He's sitting up pretty well on his own now, and just tonight he's discovered he can "scoot" himself backwards on the wood floors. He looked so excited with himself!
