More cute faces

Here is my cute Savannah. She is holding her 'roses'. They are actually nerf footballs that have the stick or tail or 'rose stems' or whatever you call them. Her brother just chews on them.

I love this little, sweet innocent face. I love those eyes. You need to click on the picture and make it bigger and then you will see the eyes I look at every day. Love them!

Happy Birthday!

Yep you guessed it. I am another year older. Yeah. This was good practice for Brigham. He has been learning how to blow so maybe he will be able to blow out his own candle. Maybe.

Easter

So I don't have any pictures of my kids doing the Easter egg hunt, but I do have cute pictures of them in bunny ears. Savannah is such a cutie!

Brigham is also sooooo adorable in these ears!

Rare Opportunity

It is a rare opportunity that I get to be in a picture with my kids. It isn't a great picture of me, but it is a picture with me and them. Just got to love those cute kids.

Guitar Hero

Mitch, Mackay, John, and Sabrina, and Miranda played some Guitar Hero on Mackay's Birthday. I think they enjoyed themselves. I think they played until 2 am.

Savannah just chillin and watch them play. Grandma Net has a cool wall in the background.

Brigham is hanging out watching with his dad.

Our little crawler...

Here is Brigham just after he started crawling. He was 8 months old then. He was off on a mission to find something.

He was often seen crawling with his head down until he got to where he was going. I thought it was funny. Savannah probably did it too I just don't remember.

The day he started crawling was also the day he started furniture walking. By the time Savannah was this age she was walking. But she didn't have as big a head to carry around either. So he just goes by leaps once he has figured it out.

He is so proud of himself. He got the game! He is now 10 months old and this week he has started taking steps on his own to get to places. Now I have a walker! He is also quite the stair climber. I don't think I have any pictures, but he will get up the stairs no matter what. We haven't had a gate because since we moved here we really haven't needed one. When we watched Liam we just barricaded the stairs with the banana chair. That was all I needed. With Brigham we have used the banana chair - he figured out how to go around - we added the hot wheels at the end to block - he figured out how to lift it up and push it out of the way - so we added a kitchen chair to hold the hot wheels - he just climbed over the banana chair at first and then he figured out how to tip the kitchen chair (made of wood-heavy) so that he could shinny behind the chair, yes he kept shuffling his hands across the back of the chair while he shinnied, and then he pushed over the hot wheels and then up the stairs he went. So we bought a gate today. I think he took down the gate 3 times before Mitch found a spot and made it so tight that he had yet been able to take it down. So maybe tomorrow I won' t have to chase him up the stairs every 5 minutes.

Savannah

We got Savannah some 'school' books a little while ago. She was so excited to do them. One of her favorites has been learning to cut. She love to try to cut things . The book has large black lines for her to cut along. She has improved lots since we started. We also have dry erase board book that she practices, tracing for now, her letters and numbers. We also recently have started writing her name. She is even getting to the point she can spell it all by herself. Yeah. This took a little bit because at first she had no interest in trying to write. And then one day she just writes and 'A' ! I couldn't believe it. Now we just have to get her interested in writing numbers. At least she is starting to visually recognize them.
