On the move already!

Ava is now on the move! Lilie and I went to pick up dinner Sunday night and came home to a baby who is crawling. She took her first two movements forward with daddy. It is only fair since he has been working with her. By Monday she had figured out how to spread her toys out. If she throws the ones that have stuff in them the toys come out. She moves the best in the nude.

Check out the baby in motion.

If that isn't enough she is now holding her sippy by her self.

This is all happening to fast she is only six months and three weeks old!

The North Wind doth Blow Rhyme

At Lilies school the first graders must recite a poem. Lilie has chosen to do the poem my mother did when she was in first grade. I will get a video of her on here soon.

The North wind doth blow poem
The North wind doth blow
and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing,
poor thing.

History

The Robin' or 'The North Wind doth blow'? This nursery rhyme is referred to as either the North Wind doth blow or The Robin. 'The North Wind doth blow' is British in its origins and believed to have originated in the 16th century history. 'The North Wind doth blow' uses the olde English word 'doth'. The purpose of the words to 'The North Wind doth blow' is to ensure that a child associates security with home whilst empathising with the plight of the robin. This therefore accounts for the confusion as to whether the poem should be called 'The North Wind doth blow' or the Robin.

Summer shoes

Thanks to wonderful weather, Ava was finally able to ware these shoes Grandma Pattie got her. They are just to cotton pickin' cute not to share.

I think the top says alot too.

No sooner than

Josh and I have been saying we should probably lower Ava's bed, she is getting better at rolling over into a sit next will be pull herself up. Saturday morning we get Ava's crib lowered to the next depth and she has herself pulled up. No kidding I put her in while I was putting the tools back in their holder and I turned around and found this! Please note the joy she finds in being able to do this.

Thank you neighbor Wendy for the chew guards

Happy Birthday Josh!

Josh celebrated his birthday with a home made (yes from scratch) German Chocolate cake.

and a little song.

Lilie sparing

Lilie had sparing practice before standard class last night. She was so scared but jumped right in and did pretty good. The little girl she was practicing with is the owners daughter it was her first class also. They were so cute!

Ava got in on it too.

Little quake

The past two mornings we have had little earth quakes (3.+) I like to check here for info on earth quakes. It's handy and faster than the news:-)

Dress up

Lilie likes to dress up her sister, what is sad is that Ava doesn't care what Lilie does to her. She is only 6 months and she looks up to her big sister.

But eating does not get in the way of fun!

my grandmother always said...

you have to suffer to be beautiful.
