Dakota - Week 26 - Rock and Roll... almost

Watch out everyone crawling is coming soon!  Dakota can now hold herself up with her belly off the ground.  She is rocking and rolling her weight back and forth - just reeving her engine for proper crawling.

 Watch out world here she comes!

Dakota - Week 25 - Beauty

This week Momma captured some photos of our beautiful girls!  First Dakota's naked baby taking a bath picture... One of those classics that Momma just loves to take!

 Then Sierra's glamour shot.

 And my beautiful sisters smiling for Momma.

 And the adorable baby tushie shot.

And then there is of course the silly side of my sisters...

This weekend was also Momma and Daddy's Anniversary.  So Bobby and Nanny came to visit.  We spent the start of the day at the Butterfly Festival.  We met all sorts of critters - butterflies, fish, turtles and a SNAKE.  I was brave enough to touch him.  Bobby was not.

We played with bubbles.

Rode a giant slide.

Oh yeah, and looked for butterflies in the butterfly house.

We even rode a school bus - both was to and from the festival. It was Sierra's first time.  She wasn't so excited to get on it.  But once on Momma's lap she was happy to take the ride.

I hope you found something beautiful this week too!
   

Dakota - Week 24 - New Food - Old School Fun

Dakota was very excited this week to move away from the oatmeal.  Though she liked rice cereal, it didn't like her so much.  And the oatmeal - well she tells me it just tasted funny.  So this week she gets to try Sweet Potatoes... It was a success!

Sierra has been making great progress with her spoon skills.  She can now eat her bananas - "self" as she likes to say these days!

I of course still love my pretzels!

Food wasn't the only fun this week.  Momma was excited to walk into Sierra's room and find the scene...

She was so excited to see that books can compete with the iPhone!

Even the classic games like Chutes and Ladders are great fun for us to play!

I hope you found some time to play away from your computers this week too!

Dakota - Week 23 - A Kid's Best Friend - Wheels!

You would not believe the progress my little sisters have made with their "wheels" this week. 

Sierra has mastered our drive way hill on her scooter.  She even knows to bail into the grass if she needs to stop and her break isn't enough.

Dakota is no longer dependent upon gravity for moving her walker around.  She has a long sure stride - watch out Daddy - we can now go in 3 separate directions!

Dakota is also showing signs that she is thinking about standing on walking on her own.  Look at this great balance.  Does anyone else see the dancer that I see?

And of course I still love my Gator.  How long do you think I have to wait for Momma to let me drive her Jeep???

Hope you all had a great week riding around.  See you next time!
