Holding Hands

Colleen and Kathy took the kids to the zoo.  I can only imagine their reaction when this was happening.

Happy Birthday Gigi

Gigi loves her great-grandkids and to have them all on the couch together was a nice treat. Sally brought her grandson, Kean who was also in the mix.

Molly and Calvin got gift bags from Kean and were having fun blowing into these straws that made a whistling noise.

Here's Calvin having fun marching down the hall.

Almost Crawling

We know Megan is very strong. The way she pushes off with her feet surprises a lot of people. Colleen knows all too well how powerful her grip is when she grabs a handful of hair.

Now she is getting up on her knees to figure out how to crawl.

Peek A Boo

Molly being silly:

Yates Cider Mill

Here's a few pictures from our trip to Yates Cider Mill with Karen and Ken.  The full set can be seen here.

What I will say about the trip is that Molly had a blast.  She did not stop running around to look at everything they had there.

She loves apples, so to see so many was pretty amazing.

She got a kick out of the animals they had there.  She would crack up at the goats when they were butting heads.

She really wore herself out.

Aunt Karen was pretty wiped out too ;)

Smiley Baby

Megan loves to laugh and smile.

New Family Member

My sister's baby, Shane, was born this morning.  My parents are in California to be there for the birth and to help out for a few weeks.  Congratulations Kathy and Tyler!

Rice Cereal

Megan has started with rice cereal. She's pretty good at it too.

Of course Molly is always willing to help.

Gigi

Molly, Megan, and Calvin went to go visit their great-grandmother.  She is at her happiest when the kids are running around her house.  I think the kids are happiest when they are around each other too.

Cheerleader

Football season is upon us and Molly is very excited.  Too bad the Lions found a way to lose their first game after being in the lead for most of it.

Having Fun

Just a few pictures.  Molly and Megan like hanging out together and Molly really loves holding Megan in her lap.

Twinkle Twinkle

Molly is really starting to get the hang of this song.  The words aren't quite there but the syllables are.  It's amazing to see her brain develop so quickly.

Enjoying Her Crib

Megan was a car seat sleeper for a long time. She still does not take a pacifier so it was difficult for her to soothe herself into sleeping flat.  About a month ago she finally started sleeping in her crib much to the relief of her parents.

Still Enjoying Baths

Molly

I wonder if Molly remembers when she actually fit into the car seat.

Molly usually sits in her chair when she has her goldfish snack.  Even though the chair was being cleaned, she sat in the same spot anyway.  She's a creature of habit I guess.

Arts Beats and Eats

We went to downtown Royal Oak to check out the Arts Beats and Eats festival.  All I can say is, "What were we thinking?"







Trying to push a stroller and corral a curious and adventurous child through such a dense crowd was miserable.

We did manage to watch a few bands and try some food, but we'll wait until Royal Oak works out the kinks of the festival and for the kids to get a little older before we try that again!

Helping

Megan likes to help me go through the pictures.
