Week 66 and Week 179

William is 66 weeks old today. We had a fun week preparing for vacation! William loves his books. When I get him out of his crib the first thing he wants is a book. It is so cute, and of course he says "boo". His favorite books these days are his truck books and "Peek a Who". Peek a Who is a really cute book with a mirror on the last page, it was Emily's favorite too and is definitely showing wear and tear. I may need to pick up another one!! He has started "jumping" also. He doesn't actually get his feet off the ground, but he says something resembling jump and makes it all the way up to his tip toes!

Emily is 179 weeks old today. She actually understands what vacation is this year and is super excited to go to the beach! We are eerily packed and ready to go, so I am writing this before we head to bed! She is ready to get up super early and then sleep in the car...hopefully!! Here are a few pre vacation pictures!!

Yogurt...yum!

William loves using his own spoon!!

Emily's Photo Adventure

Here are Emily's pictures from our photo adventure. She did not want me to download them onto my computer, but she's asleep now so Mommy wins! And someday I'm sure she'll be glad I took the time to post this. She had so much fun taking pictures!! So, here it is...our color adventure!!!

This one was something green. She just walked outside and pointed the camera up! Yes, there are a lot of green leaves up there!!!

I suggested she get a little closer to something green and take a picture, so this is what we got!

I love her shadow, it's actually a neat picture!!

Family Fun!

Here are some pics of our celebrations of Kevin and Johanna...Enjoy!! I have a ton more, but these were some of the best! If you are interested in seeing some others just let me know!! It is so fun to watch all of the little ones playing together and considering I'm pretty busy chasing 2 of them around I think I did pretty well getting some pictures...of course that is why most of them are of the kids!

Week 65 and Week 178

William is 65 Weeks old and now 15 months!! He loves going to the pool. When I say we are getting ready to go swimming he runs to the front door and says "pool, pool, pool". He also does it as soon as we get to the pool. He is getting much more comfortable with the water, which is awesome! Just in time for vacation as planned! He also has discovered walking backwards, so far no injuries from it as he does seem to be careful about it which is cute! Speaking of cute, William accidentally did something to Emily this week, so I told him to say he was sorry. He walked right up to Emily and gave her a kiss, it was so sweet!! I am loving watching them grow together!!

Emily is 178 weeks old and is swimming like a fish. She goes pretty far on her own after we stopped her from doing little spins in the middle of her swim! She calls it water ballet!! She has started floating on her back pretty well and swimming a little on her back too. Lots of fun stuff to practice on vacation. Our little fashionista must wear a dress or skirt pretty much all the time and sometimes lets Mommy help her match her outfits for her! Although if she wears a dress it's easy!! :)

We had a great weekend celebrating Johanna's college graduation on Saturday and then went to dinner with Gia and Pepa on Sunday. Here are some pics of our fun...
