Birthday party, pulling up, new words, and other stuff!

Hey- wait for me!
There has been a lot going on around our house in the last week!

We went to another birthday party last weekend for my friend Jana's little boy Camden, who was born just a couple of weeks before Nate and Lilly. It was a construction theme- so cute. There was a lot going on (I think I counted around 25-30 adults and around 15 kids!!) but it was not nearly as chaotic as you would think with that many kids!! All the kids were really well behaved and just having fun together. We held Nate and Lilly the whole time since most of the kids were moving around pretty good and we didn't want them to get run over! Plus, you know.. stranger danger.. Anyway the party was a success and we had a lot of fun. Thanks for inviting us, Jana!

Look at all those presents for sweet Camden!

Nate and Lilly were wishing it was their turn. Soon enough, babies!!

Nate has been pulling up in the crib for a while and sometimes trying to pull up on other stuff, but all of a sudden he is everywhere.. pulling up on everything! Lilly pulls half way up (to her knees) and usually just hangs out there for a while. I have seen her pull all the way up to standing several times so I know she can do it, she just doesn't care to do it all them time yet! Nate has also developed a new attachment to his silky. We usually have it in the crib, but now he is holding onto it and wanting to take it with him (even dragging it around while he crawls). I know this is probably not healthy or whatever.. but man, is it cute!!! He is my sweet little boy following me around the house with his paci and his silky and I'm not going to worry about it until he goes to kindergarten (just kidding).

See Exhibit A- Total Cuteness:Lilly is the total opposite. She doesn't care for a paci or silky and is happy to play by herself! She is really crawling now! She can get where she wants to go and fast! She was super smiley last weekend so I tried to catch as much as I could with the camera.

See Exhibits B, C, and D - Super Smiley Cutie:
Nate and Lilly can both say "ma" and "da da" randomly but this week Nate has been saying "bye bye"while waving his hand! So, those are his first words besides the good stuff. They have both been playing with their tongues a lot too. Nate likes to do "lalalala" and Lilly likes to do the tongue click thing. This is where the video would come in handy. I have to figure out how to get my videos on here!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
