Carolyn Playing Around

I can hardly believe that my little baby Carolyn is already 11 months old. She is getting so active and so talkative. She is crawling on hands and knees like a pro, she is pulling up on things, she is sitting on her knees and she is "talking" a lot. The other night we went upstairs after dinner to play and snapped a few photos of her in action to share with the blog. Here they are.

Ready for her closeup.

Carolyn checks out some of Annette's dress up clothes.

Hey Look, It's the Goodyear Blimp.

More dress up toys!!!

She found a lei!

Annette wants to play dress up too.

I'm a fairy princess!!!!

Fairy princess wands are scrumptious.

Carolyn can stand up now!!

Annette really gets in to dressing up.

She's a fairy ballerina.

And Carolyn gives her a round of applause

Gymnastics

Annette has been going to Gymnastics with the people at her School since September. They walk over across the parking lot to Bill Austin's Gymnastics and take a little class. We have gotten to see a few little sneak peeks of her ever growing skills when she does flips or tries to balance on a curb, but we had never seen the real deal. Then last month they had a little gymnastics "recital" (?, performance, exhibition, meet, hootenanny, I am not really sure what it is supposed to be called) and invited the parents to come. We went and got to see Annette go through a variety of stations and show off her stuff. I did not get the camera in time to catch Annette doing the trapeze, but I got her on the other apparati. Check out the video below, but be warned it is about 7 miniutes long.

Waiting with her friends to move to the next station.

Stretching out before the big show.



Showing off their certificates.

"Valentime's" Day

I am skipping a bunch of stuff that needs to be posted from the last month (Annette's gymnastics, randomness, trip to Uncle Geoff's, etc.) but wanted to get this on here so it was at the appropriate time of the year for this to be on the interwebs.

I was like the 16th luckiest guy in the world tonight because I had a Valentine's day date with the three cutest girls ever (and Will, Melissa, and Austin). It was nothing special, we just went to La Mananita's (the local little Mexican food place) and then came home, but with my three sweet babies I felt pretty loved.

My Valentine's day dates.

Surprised by her gifts!!!!!
