James Can Crawl!!

This morning, while Daddy and I were visiting with Uncle Nick in the living room, James crawled from his Daddy's feet to his toys, which were about 10 feet away!  James has been scooting a little, but this was the first time he traveled such a great distance!  Way to go, baby!!

 When Lillian was learning to crawl, she REALLY liked to knock things over.  To motivate her, we would stack things up just out of reach and she would crawl over to it and knock it over.  We've tried the same tactic with James and it has worked in the same way!  In this video, I really had to watch Lillian, because she still likes to knock things over (especially her brother these days!).  Watch and see what happens :)

 "I wanna try stacking them for James!"

While she's stacking the cups for James, she's keeps calling him over.  Really cute!

Playing Together :)

Lillian and James are playing together more and more lately since James has become more mobile and coordinated.  He's begun to stand up and support himself, which is so amazing to watch!

Playing music together on the play table!

"Hey, cutie pies, say cheese!"

Dog Beds and Gymnastics!

 Mommy put some new pants on Lillian that she had gotten for her birthday.  Normally, she can wear size 2T no problem, but sometimes they make the waste too big for her and, well, this happens! :)  It didn't faze her at all, however, and she continued to finish her balance routine!

 "I'm trying to get them back on, mommy, but they're stuck!"

 Note the tan shorts :)

 Lillian doing a 'roll' out of Miss Erika's arms!

 "That was so cool, Lil!"

 Notice the pretty teal pants James is now wearing :)  Such a good brother :)

 Lillian showing off her skills!

 "Higher, Miss Erika, higher!!"

 James can't wait to join her!

 It's not just Ginger who enjoys her new bed :)

Lillian wearing her gymnastics outfit!  Whenever I ask her what she wants to wear, she says, "to-to!"

Bath Time, Kids Museum and Pet Store Oh My!

 James LOVES his baths!  In this photo, you can see his lower teeth coming in :)  He has three new teeth in all with more on the way (teething = long nights... 'yawn').

Look at my teeth!  Lillian has all her incisors, canines and first molars!

 Cheese!

 Eat your heart out, Grandpa :)  

 I'm a mouse.

 Lillian fell asleep with her pen in her hand on our way to the pet store :)

"Mommy, can I have a bunny?? Please, mommy, please??!!"

 "I think you should say yes!" ~James

WOW.... look at all the birds!
