Week 51 and Week 164

William is 51 weeks old.  He has been talking and parroting more and more.  He points at things all of the time and says "dat".  He is continuing to say "uh oh" and is signing "more" a lot more often.  He is getting a little more brave about letting go and standing on his own.  He's taken a few steps here and there, but still seems to really like the security of holding on.  He was also crawling today more than the one or 2 "steps" he usually does before falling down to his army crawl.  I can't believe this is the last post I am going to have before he is 1!!!  This really has been the fastest year ever, but I have loved every minute watching my little boy grow.

Emily is 164 weeks old.  She's not changing as much as William these days, but she is still tons of fun!  She got to do one more egg hunt with PePa this weekend and had a blast.  It's amazing how much better she is at finding than she was last year.  Yes, there is still room for improvement, but that's what next year is for, right?!! 

We had a pretty busy low key week if that is possible.  I'm not really sure what we did, but we were pretty busy!!

Here are some pics of our fun...

Building or banging or something fun!

Princess Emily

William's first birthday gift.  I don't think Emily even gave him a chance to be interested.  She was ready to help!

 Emily LOVES Aunt Paula's Tupperware cabinet!

She insisted William try it out also.  She knew her brother would love it!

We tried for a good pic, but at least they are all happy!

Standing!  And playing in the sandbox for the first time.  Amazingly he didn't eat any of it!
