Head Banging!!!!

Lucy's favorite new thing to do in the high chair....head bang!!!

Them Crazy Kids!!!!

Lucy is starting to pull herself up on EVERYTHING and cruise around all OVER the place. We have had to COMPLETELY rearrange our living room and hide a bunch of Jack's toys that were not appropriate for her to play with.....lots of small parts were going straight for her mouth!

More talking!!!!

Bath Time Fun !!!!

We had some MAJOR fun at the pool for a few hours today. Unfortunately, we were ALL in the pool, so I have no pictures. They are both swimming so good now. Jack is a little fish and can swing across the pool by himself at the smaller length. It's about 10 yards or so.

He is soooo proud of himself for "swimming fast."


After swimming, we did manage to get some fun pictures in the bath tub!!! :-)

Lucy says PAPA!!!

I had been trying for a MONTH to get Lucy to say Papa. She says Mama, Dadda, and Baba (Grandma) but wouldn't say Papa.

On this day, she wouldn't STOP saying it!!! :-)

Sleepover!!

Patty & Courtney stayed over last Saturday!!
These are just a few fun pics we got of the kids being silly!!

Happy 4th !!!

For Lucy's very first Independence Day, we all went to Old Town Manassas for some fireworks and fun!!! It was a really fun night and the kids BOTH fell asleep on the way home! (That's the important thing! hee hee)



Lucy hanging out in her stroller:

Jack and Daddy in matching festive outfits. They played frisbee AND soccer in front of the Manassas Museum before the fireworks began:

Lucy and Mommy sat on our blanket and played. She LOVED rolling around on the blanket but also really liked getting to the edge and pulling up grass!!! I think she thought it was hair cuz she pulled at it and tried to eat it the same way she does when she pulls on people's hair. She was laughing the whole time she was sitting with me:

Jack, the sweet big brother, poses for a minute with his little baby sister:

More rolling and crawling on our blanket:

Before going to Peter's house to eat and watch the Fireworks, we stopped and let Jack climb on the train in Old Town. He LOVED it and did NOT want to leave. We had to lie and tell him that the fireworks were about to start just to get him off of it!! :-)

Lucy LOVED the lights the fireworks made but did not love the sounds so much. Luckily, since we were at Peter's house, we took her just inside and watched the fireworks through the glass door. She was much happier this way. Keith and I took turns sitting with Jack outside and holding Lucy inside. When Lucy calmed down, Jack brought her out again to switch with me and she was NOT a happy camper. So he just took her right back in. heh.

Our view of the fireworks: (kinda blurry, but you get the idea)

Jack loved the fireworks. It got a little loud for his taste during the finally (when he made this face and then covered his ears), but other than that he really enjoyed watching them. I'm glad to know the fireworks are growing on him. Last year, he made us watch them from the car so he didn't have to hear them!!!!!
