Wagon and Stroller Fun

Will spent the entire week outside pushing his stroller around. Mostly he pushed it around empty, but variations included putting Zebra in it, also Doc Hudson (his car), leaves, and rocks. Later in the week we pulled out the wagon. This wagon is about 80 years old, and was my grandfather's when he was small. Man did they make good quality stuff back then!We have all grown up playing with it, and it is fun to see new generations fall in love with it.

standing

I walked in to get Kirstine out of her crib yesterday and she had finally pulled herself to a standing position. I was so surprised I screamed and shocked her and she jumped and fell down! (i caught her though). Needless to say, I did not capture it in pictures. I tried to recreate the moment today, but she screamed so loudly when i put her in that position it didn't really work. Next time i catch her i'll take a picture!

first teddy

She slept with her teddy bear for the first time. (she chose it over her zebra, i'm so sad)

fun and missing pants

Since i'm so bad about writing down the cute things will says and does in his smurf book (i'll explain later), i'll write them down here so i don't forget. then when i get the book out i will remember what happened.

we're at gran and papa's house, and will said, "gran, i wanna go swimming in papa's pool....it'll be fun!" wherever did he learn that?

we had a birthday party at chuck e cheese today. the sign only has a picture of chuck's top half. when we pulled into the parking lot and he saw the picture on the building he said, "mommy, what happened to chuckie's pants?"

Cuteness

Cute things my kids did today: We were driving to the mall and will said something that sounded like, "mom i see mikasosky". puzzled for only about a minute until i realized he said, "mom i see mike wazowski" - there is a billboard with him on it (he's the green one-eyed monster from monsters, inc. if you don't know). i cracked up when i realized that's what he said.

Later today he was playing at the foot of his bed and wanted Kirstine to sit with him. there are only blankets and stuffed animals down there. All of a sudden he told me, "Kirstine gotta be careful with my stuff!" as if she could hurt his blankets or something.

And Kirstine just rocks. she's the happiest baby ever. and she does this really funny thing with her right hand now (and ONLY the right one). she holds it out and flips it over back and forth and just stares at it. it's like there's something wrong with it. i don't know, but it's adorable!

My kids are so perfect! Here are some recent pics of them. Isn't her pink outfit just the cutest thing ever? It's like a little hippie outfit.

Crawling

Kirstine is officially starting to crawl now. I thought this afternoon that it would definitely be before the week was up, but she started moving across the blanket tonight. She is now 5 months and 3 weeks old. that is a week ahead of Will.

Also she is getting her first tooth. We have been able to see it for over a week, and it still isn't cutting through yet, but it should be any day now.

And she is sitting up amazingly! She's getting to be so much fun playing with toys and stuff. I love it!!!

Treasure Island

We went to the beach last weekend when my cousin, Tara, was in town. mine and valerie's husbands and children joined us (me, tara, and valerie) on saturday. here are pictures from our fun day.

Ears pierced!

Since they wouldn't let me take pictures during the piercing, I decided to take a picture of what she looked like while it was happening:

And this is how she is now!

(she only cried for about a minute)

Zebra girl

I'm getting ready for my zebra page spread in the scrap book.
