Coolest balloon creations

Recently we went out to dinner to meet my brother, Tyler, and his colleague. It was great to see him while he passed through our area on business. And Lilia loved the restaurant and the fun lady creating balloon animals! She could have had anything...and I mean anything. This lady was awesome!

Lilia decided on Ariel and Tiana

seriously cool!

and Lilia recently got new glasses :)

and our new favorite activity is painting.

Lily's got a new toy box

I was tired of the eye sore of piled babies and toys at the foot of her toddler bed. I emptied this wooden chest of my winter clothes that has been hidden in a corner of our room.
I did a little sanding, and a few coats of paint later it was ready for her room!

Hooray! She loves it and so do I!

New....

New tricks. He's able to sit upright for a very short span of time. He prefers rolling around on the floor and jumping!
New room. He's had a room painted, re-carpeted, and re-furnished for him. Its an airplane theme with clouds on the walls. He loves his own space and we're all sleeping a little better this way.

New feats! Max is so close to crawling. He can shimmy his way across the floor. He just turned 5 months. He wants to be everywhere and see everything!New friend. Lily adores our homemade scarecrow.
New rash. Eczema has hit Max hard.
New food. This is while trying rice cereal for the first time. so far he's tried rice cereal, banana and potatoes. He isn't too thrilled with any of it. He's interested but nothing is as good as mama's milk.

New moves. Lily is suddenly all about dress-ups. You add dance lessons + dress-ups + music= Lilia's Star Performance. Her favorite song to dance to is "Honey, Honey" by Abba.New acting skillz. She totally loves watching herself in the mirror and making faces then trying them out on us. She loves to play a part. What a drama queen!
