Not Quite Crawling

Alyssa is rolling all over the place and pushing up like a champ.  She acts like she wants to crawl but the best she does is lie on he stomach, raise her hands and feet, and do a fast frog kick.  Its really pretty funny!

 

  

 

That's me trying to get her to crawl to me.  I think she'll have to get her tummy off the floor first, but I was hoping for at least an army crawl!

Isa's 9th Birthday

Last week we went to Luis and Keri's house to celebrate Isa's 9th birthday.  I can't believe how old she's getting!

Kelly sitting with the big girls for cake.  Crazy that they're three times her age.  The second picture is "silly faces..." Kind of hard to tell, I know.

Pho Sho

Today Kelly, Alyssa, and I were treated to a snow-delayed birthday lunch by Lisa, Ryan, and Evan at our local Pho restaurant. While the meal was delicious, the biggest treat was my good little girls. For the first time ever I put Alyssa in a restaurant high chair where she perched happily.

Kelly also did great, thoroughly enjoying her soup and repeatedly asking for more (especially impressive considering her increasing pickiness). I was so pleased with how nicely they sat next to each other.

Ryan is certainly more adventurous and kept trying to explore the restaurant. At the end of the meal, Kelly held his hand, which kept him in one place for a few moments. I think she had the idea because the last time we all had lunch together (about 3 months ago) they held hands to cross the parking lot. So cute!

Alyssa Sits Up

I like to glance back at old posts to see what Kelly was doing when she was Alyssa's age, so when I saw Alyssa do this today I knew we needed a flashback post.

Silly Kelly

Last of the Birthday Presents

On Snowmageddon Eve, Luis and Keri brought over Kelly's birthday presents.

She got a Power Wheels 4X4...

...and a Dora the Explorer bath toy. They also got her a Fur Real dog.  Being three is fun!
