September
September was a busy month! Nate and Lilly transitioned into their all day school schedule better than we could've imagined. They never really seemed overly tired and looked forward to going to school every morning. This month Lilly also started a Ballet/Tap class at a new dance school called "A Step in Time". She knows to little friends from pre-school and really loves it so far! Nate started his second season of soccer, on a new team this time. What a change we have seen in him with a new coach and more aggressive team! They are so much fun to watch and won EVERY game of the season!
Ben is 13 months old. Loving every minute of being at home by himself while Nate and Lilly are in school, but he also gets excited when it's time to go pick them up. It's a good thing, because I usually have to wake him up from his nap. He's practically running already, but not talking too much. He LOVES being outside and gets very upset when we have to go in! It's starting to get hard to take his picture because he's either running away from me or running towards me wanting to play with my camera!
October
Ben is 14 months old! He loves books, his favorites are Barnyard Dance and Pajama Time. He loves balls and playing with Nate and Lilly's toys. He laughs and smiles ALL DAY LONG! Such a sweet baby. He is an awesome sleeper, taking one or two naps in the day time and sleeping about 12 hours at night. He loves playing with Mommy and Daddy's phones!!
November
Lilly had her first recital (for this school) in November, at a craft fair. She did a tap dance with her class and got to wear a pretty tutu! She did awesome! Nate scored his first TWO goals on his new soccer team, and then another at his last game. I was a PROUD mommy!!! Ben was 15 months old and really getting adventurous. He is constantly opening doors, drawers, trying to climb on the couch, and use the step stool to reach things. He is way more of a rebel than Nate and Lilly ever were! He loves to spin around and around, loves to give hugs and kisses (especially loves kissing and smiling at pictures of himself!), and thinks it's funny to bend down with his head between his legs and look at whatever is behind him. He also laughs up a storm when we say "how big is Benny?!" and he raises up his arms knowing that we are going to tickle him when we say "soooo big!"
More pics from November.. Ben and Nate horsing around!
And after a few confusing eye doctor appointments, we finally figured out Lilly is a little near sighted in one eye and needs glasses to help her see the board in glass. So of course, she chose the pink Hello Kitty frames!
