Like My Father!

Proof that Gillian is more and more like her father eveyday!!! She even babbles dadadadadada...

I want to Stand!!!

Gillian loves to grab my fingers and stand up. I thought it was darling so I tried to get some footage. It is a little dark but you will get the point. She is too cute!

Where's Mommy???

I know that I have been slacking lately and I am sorry. Bean on the other hand is not slacking. She is getting so big it is unbelievable. This morning (7am) I got some video of her and her two favorite games. The first one is what I call "Where's Mommy?" She could play this for hours if i let her. It is a little dark but its the best you can do with an EasyShare

Sneak Peak

I got pictures taken of Gillian and Zoey for their six month and year. I don't want to put to many on here since i am sending them to the family but i have been playing on Photoshop and had to post these cause they are adorable! We went to Unity Village and Amanda and Q helped me. I will post those since those aren't going anywhere.

Our new bath!

Bean is too small for her infant bath and to big for the tub so we are now in the kitchen sink. This is both good and bad. Good is that im not bending over or on my knees. Bad is that she loves to splash and gets me and Ziggy soaked. Yesterday at Target they had a small bucket with a couple of shovels and some shapes ( I think to make sand animals) in the dollar spot so I bought them for her to play. She loves bathtime a lot better now!

Who crawls?

So we have been trying to get Bean to lay on her stomach and start crawling but this has had some difficulty. She loves to sit up and hates to lay. Now she loves to stand up and hold on to things. So though we have our tummy time we do a army crawl and then we are done. Practice makes perfect but maybe she will be like me and just skip crawling and go straight to walking. I hope she crawls though : )

First Swim Lesson!!!

Gillian went swimming for the first time! I bought her a cute swim suit that has pink giraffes on it (go figure) and her a Ziggy went and played in the pool last week. Gillian only lasted about 15 minutes before she fell asleep in Ziggy's arms. I took her and Ziggy swam for another hour. It was a lot of fun. When I break down and buy a suit then next time I will join.


At first we weren't to sure about the water

Then we started to splash around but hated it when it splashed in her face

Covering her face so she can sleep!
