"Monster" trucks!

Watched 4x4's compete today. So fun! Liam loved watching with daddy & lo loved playing with the umbrella and giggling. Enjoyed a nice lunch after, then went to the mall to get kev an air compressor and wrapped it up with purchasing a monster truck bed set for Liam! Such a fun happy day. Love my family!

Next step... Walking?

Lorelei is pulling up & letting go of everything! Guess our next stop is walking?! How am I even saying that at 7 months old?
Trying to handle this with a stiff upper lip. Liam outgrew his Thomas the train bed and is now in this "big boy" Bed. Hoping I don't regret it. Night one went well ;)

Her first time in the walker

Lo tried out the walker yesterday. She doesn't quite reach the ground yet, but seems to like it anyways! And the photo of Liam with his prizes from his teacher yesterday (in his hands). Apparently, Liam moved his apple to "present" and sat quietly on the rug reading when he arrived at school yesterday, so he got treats. He was soooo excited ;) & I was so proud :)

First word?!

Today I told Lorelei no less than fifty times: "mama, mama, mama, mama"... She just stared at me. I said "dada, dada" and now she won't stop saying "da da da da da"... really kid?! I said it twice?! So both the kids first word was "dada." Does this mean I'm chopped liver or is dada just easier to say? LOL!

Lorelei's new skills!

Knee crawl & army crawl combo! Little Miss Curious Little bit of fun! Stinker! Lorelei pulling up on mama!

Her Prince?!

Lo meets her future prince ;) History unfolding!

Lunch date

My sweet hubby & awesome kiddos took me to lunch along the harbor today :) Was so beautiful & relaxing. Finished it off with checking out some tropical fish & Dave's local ice cream :) Great Sunday afternoon! Liam took all the photos below. He's really into taking photos these days! Pretty great job! End of paparazzi Liam photos ;)

In two days

Lo is now crawling on her knees sometimes official as of today! She still gets around faster with her army crawl but she can crawl on her knees. Sad times for mom :( Yesterday she sat up from the crawling position. She also is using mom to pull-up on. Videos of all these new skills must follow! Her personality is really developing. She is an active gal and loves to go, go and giggle giggle. Man oh man do I love her so! We weighed her today and she's 14lbs, 1oz & 25" long.

First argument

The kids just had their first argument... Over Liam's sippy cup! Lorelei whined, grabbed it out of Liam's hands, he took it back, she cried! Went back & forth twice before mom got lo her own (empty) cup. The first of many fights to come I'm sure, but much earlier than I expected. Ha!

Wearing avocado

It's all the rage to wear your food lo lo says!

Liam at school

So I dropped Liam off at school this morning so kevin could go in early. We signed in and he washed his hands, which is all mom knows about the routine. When I asked Liam what he does next he answered "I don't know" and looked horribly timid and out of place. I gave him a book, gave kisses (both to me and sissy) and we said goodbye.  He sat on the carpet and I backed off where he couldn't see me to watch. He was pretty quiet & reluctant to participate , although his teacher was in a meeting so I attributed it to the new face leading the class. So I left. About an hour later I got a courtesy call that Liam had another bloody nose (one last week, one this week). When I got to the school at the end of the day, his teacher approached me about the bloody nose so I asked about him while he's at school. She said he is very happy and if he weren't she would tell me. She said the two subs she has had both told her how helpful he is & sweet. She told them, he...

A Few of my Favorites

I am having some trouble admitting to myself that my son is 3 years old and my daughter is 7 months. I honestly don't understand how & when all of this growing up happened around here. To soothe my aching heart, I've been looking at photos. Here are a few of my faves over the past 8 months or so... Sigh, where has the time gone? So grateful for these two precious little people I/we have been blessed with. Life is just so much more special with them in it! :)
