Week 57 and Week 170

William is 57 weeks old.  He can now stand up on his own without pulling himself up on something.  It's really funny to watch, but he does it!  There's no stopping him now.  He is getting more and more confident everyday and is into everything!!!  William is saying more words everyday also...I know I'm missing some, but he says mama, dada, pop pop, nana (for banana), ba boo (balloon), ball, cup, truck, duck, quack, uh oh, and he shakes his head no all the time!  He definitely let us know what he wants and what he doesn't want!  I can't believe how big my little snuggle bug is getting!!!

Emily is 170 weeks old.  Emily got her costume for dance class this week and is super excited for her recital!  It isn't until June 30, but it will be here before you know it.  I'm not sure the time yet, but if you'd like to come just let me know and I'll get you the details.

We had a fun week and a great Memorial Day weekend.  We had fun at Evan and Leah's birthday party on Saturday and then headed to Lebopalooza on Sunday!  We had a great time and  ended our crazy weekend at the quarry today.  Here are some pics of our fun!

Week 56 and Week 169

William is 56 weeks old.  We had a busy week and William took it in stride.  He's been walking around more and falling down less.  Yes, he still falls a lot, but he seems to be learning to do it more gracefully and there haven't been as many face plants!  He got another tooth this week, bringing the total count to 6. 

Emily is 169 weeks old and is loving life!  Everything is exciting to a 3 year old.  She had a great time at dance class this week.  Her recital is getting closer, and she seems to be getting excited about it.  She's been talking about and playing school a lot with her toys.  It is really cute to see what she thinks school is.  I think she's going to be pretty disappointed when she realizes she will not be riding a school bus, but it's fun to play for now!!

We had beautiful weather this weekend and enjoyed a Pirate and Fairy Festival, BBQ at the Lee's, and just some time getting things done outside.

Here are some pics of our fun...

Week 55 and Week 168

William is 55 weeks old.  He got a new tooth this week!  We're up to 5 now and 3 more look really close to popping through.  We had fun with Wendy and Natalie on Monday and a great weekend of getting things accomplished and Mother's Day fun at Aunt Donna's.

Emily is 168 weeks old.  She was lucky enough to experience her first real injury today.  Yes, of course, Mother's Day!!  Someone who shall remain nameless (and no, it wasn't me...) picked her up by her arm and dislocated her elbow.  She was a real trooper and luckily our doctor's office was open and it was a simple fix.  And hey, she got a sticker and I got a flower so it was all worth it, right?  Definitely a memory that's for sure.  And if you saw the way she was running around with Pop Pop and the boys at the party you would never have known what had happened!

Here are some pics of our fun...oh and I had some fun with editing this week too!!!

Of course i waited until Natalie was ready for a nap to pull out the camera, so I didn't get any smiles, but lots of funny faces!

My laundry helpers.  Many hands make light work, right???

And yes, that is Emily wearing William's size 12 month bathing suit!!!

We checked in on Emily after she went to bed and she had her jammies on the floor and had put on this outfit instead.  She is so silly!!
