Lilly got a scooter from my folk yesterday and just loves it. Since it has rained the past two days she has been "scooting" inside and is getting the hang of it. We are hoping the weather clears so she can take it outside!

MJ is still learning and growing. He sat in a high chair at dinner tonight and seemed to enjoy the freedom. We are starting "solids," so far he is tolerating them well. Peas and squash have been his only new tastes so hopefully we can get him to like veggie more then Lilly does!

Kisses for MJ!
My babies...too cute!
Telling secrets! Oh, how they will lot against us one day!
Lilly in the flowers...
Lilly in camera mode!
My Babies are into September!
I can't believe it's September....MJ is almost ready for real food, Lilly is fully a big sister and both kids are just perfect. We are back in the swing of things for "school;" Lilly is going to her preschool two days a week, and gymnastics on Wednesdays. This means I have two mornings to get some chores done, hang out with just MJ, and relax just a bit! We are enjoying the cooler temps and the fact that most tourists are gone for the season so we have the beach all to ourselves! Over the past few weeks, we have had more fun company and Lilly has charmed more of her relatives!
Here are the kiddos updates:
LILLY:
-is nearly potty trained, she only wears pull ups at night
-is learning to be more independent; like to turn on the lights herself
-is becoming more helpful (with a bit of coaxing) with putting clothes in the hamper and cleaning up before bed.
-is more opinionated about what she wants to wear on her body, and feet
-is more opinionated as to what she wants to listen to in the car
-is now calling Eenie..."eetcie"
-is only "napping" if we call it "sleepy time"
-is the only one who can get MJ to laugh at nearly any moment
-is able to mimic MJ's noises to the point that we don't know who is making them
-is just a doll!
MJ:
-is rolling from front to back
-is rolling on to his side
-is laughing at his big sister all the time
-is talking up a storm
-is punctuating his "ideas" with raspberries
-is rolling around in bed and will wake himself when he bashes his head into the crib side (and by bashing I mean pushing hard, not literally bashing repeatedly)
-is nearly out of 6m size clothes before he's 6m old
-is a real charmer....we have to watch this one
They are quite a pair and I feel in years to come we will need to watch them closely because they will gang up on us!
