Start of Summer

Viv has been siting up like a champ for the past three weeks or so.... I guess we put the official sit up time for the records at 6-7 months. She is now way up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth. She actually does push backward but looks like she'll be crawling forward very soon.

Max is two stripes into his yellow belt and has also made some major progress with his swimming. I wouldn't call it swimming yet but we'll get there!

We are looking forward to our first camping trip this weekend as a family of four! We're going with 6 other families and plans include several competitions such as balancing an egg on a spoon, wheel barrel (wheelbarrow) races and best decorated campsite.

I looked up the term because I wasn't sure how it was spelled when humans play this game and it looks like it can go either way.

Ferry Rides and Aikido Belts

Here's our pride and joy both smiling! Max has a black eye from playing with friends after Aikido. After a lot of hard work he earned his yellow belt! He is so excited to work with the other yellow belts in his class!

It's fun to watch them interact. I hope they become the best of friends...

I remember buying these shoes for Viv before she was born. I was so excited to buy something girlie. Look at the adorable leg chub :)
