Sara and Mike: Week 70 and Week 183

William is 70 Weeks Old. He is now 16 months old. His newest trick is if Mike and I say something like "Who wants ice cream?" he will point to himself and say "Nee, Nee!". It seems climbing on the coffee table was just a stepping stone as he can now climb on the couch also. I'm not sure if I've posted this already, but William tries so hard to jump. He bends down and stretches up to his tip toes, he wants it so bad!!! He will try anything his sister does, even dancing. It is so cute to watch the 2 of them dance together as he tries to copy her movements! He even said Emily this week...it sounded more like "Emma" or "Elmo" and he only said it once but he was looking right at his sister when he said it. I keep waiting to hear it again, but of course he won't do it on command!

Emily is 183 weeks old and is now officially 3 1/2! She surprised me this week when she was just wandering around and came into the kitchen whistling. She's starting to figure it out and it looks like we may have another whistler in the family!! She is so into her pretend play lately. She loves her dolls and every day is Maddie's birthday party. We also go to the hospital and take the train a lot. Oh the fun of being a little girl!!!

We didn't do a whole lot this week as both William and Mommy were sick, but we are on the mend and will hopefully have a little more out of the house fun this week! Mommy and Daddy got to go on an anniversary date this weekend while the kiddos stayed with Grammie and Pop Pop. It was so nice to go out and celebrate especially since last years celebration got a little spoiled by a hurricane!

Here are some pics of our fun this week...

Look at me, I'm 3 and a half and I've got style while going on a bug hunt!

Uh oh....things that happen while Mommy's back is turned.

(I had my camera in my hand because Emily wanted her picture taken after I did William's weekly pic, otherwise I would not have taken it and gotten him down!)

(Mike thought I was crazy for letting Emily leave the house in her butterfly rain boots, but it just wasn't worth the fight and inspired this lovely work of art!!)
