Letters of the Week - HIJKLMN

We got through a good amount of letters this week, partly due to a rainy day, and partly due to some eager kids who were ready to cut and glue.

H...I...J...K...L...M...N!

H is for House!


I is for Ice Cream!


J is for Jelly Bean!
**If you notice, some are missing.
S decided (while I wasn't looking) to take some off and eat them. Gross.**


K is for Kite!


L is for Leaf!


M is for Mountain!


N is for Numbers!

Chairs

For Caleb's 1st birthday, we got him this chair:

(**What a little chunk!**)


He loved it then, and he loves it still!

We decided to get the same thing (but a more girly version, of course) for Meredith's 1st birthday (which is next Tuesday), and it arrived tonight. Once we had it put together, she immediately started climbing on it, and sat right down, just as if she knew it was hers!




And, the best picture we could get of the 2 of them!


I can't believe my Baby Girl is going to be a YEAR old in less than a week!!!

Backyard Fun

Fun with the water table!

***The day after this, the water table turned into a "mud table" after I showed the kids how they could put dirt in there to create mud. What was I thinking?! =) ***

All smiles...


All this splishing and splashing is hard work!



I thought this was pretty creative...they used the itty-bitty pool as a boat...and, it actually floated with them in it!


Popsicle Break!



Run!

Letters of the Week - DEFG

D...E...F...G!!!


D is for Door!


E is for Egg (Cartons)!


F is for Feathers!


G is for Glitter!
(Pretty sure I'll be vacuuming up glitter for many days to come!)

Meredith's Turn

If you look back to this post, you'll see a cute video and some cute photographs of an 11-month old little (not so little!) Caleb learning to walk, with the help of "Mr. Lion."

Well, it's Little Sister's turn. She actually doesn't seem to have too much interest in walking. She is a crawling maniac, and loves to climb (up the stairs, over toys and people, etc.). She does enjoy walking while you hold her hands, and "cruising" around furniture, but overall seems pretty content to get around on all 4s, at least for now. We know that will change, and a whole new world will open up to all of us when she does decide to take those steps!

In the meantime, we are just enjoying this stage!
