A lot happens in a month

4/26/12
Thomas and Ella
Thomas at almost 8 months.  While visiting family for my grandmother's funeral Thomas began to rock on his knees and his aunties were very excited to help him get mobile.  A week later he can push off with his legs and he begins to crawl...and gets into lots of mischief.
The shirt says it all!

 Big Sister Ella knows all about crawling, she started at 8 months and walked at 9 months.
 Still no teeth and not much hair but that smile just kills me, what a charmer.



Thomas in action, rolling over, eating the dog, pushing up and it isn 't much longer until he gets himself really going.





A month later: 5/24/12
Yep he can still hold his own bottle and...



we are excited to see what new adventures await.




5/28/12
One top tooth and both bottom teeth came in this last week! 


9 months is going to be a lot of fun!




make em laugh


"Don't you know everyone wants to laugh? "


"They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"



Make 'em laugh!

Say Cheese!

Tried to get some photos of the kids for our families, I think I have a few keepers.

Swan Lake part 1 and 2

We have Ella taking Ballet at the local Rec. Center and she loves it!  The nice thing is that it is structured and gives her the chance to have fun without the stress of a more serious Ballet studio.  Perhaps someday if she wants to pursue Ballet more seriously we will need to switch but for now this is perfect.  There were over 70 ballerinas! This year they performed at Columbine High School.

Friday night:
