Lauren and I were playing on the floor before nap. She loves playing peek-a-boo with the scarves and singing.

William got a squirt gun today. He has really liked squirting everything possible, even poor Zoe (Lauren is off limits) and being squirted
You really can't see much of Lauren swinging in this video but, you can hear her doing her "ma ma ma" babbling while she is fighting sleep.

Pleased as Pie!

Lauren is thrilled with her blossoming new skill. She is learning to pull up and is so far successful to her knees. She gets to her knees and has no idea what to do after that and falls over almost immediately

Easter Weekend

Okay, there are a lot of pictures in this post but it was a big weekend. Uncle Greg, Aunt Vicki, Hunter, and Clayton were at Neenee's and Grandpa's house for a spring visit. William has loads of fun playing with his cousins. One of the nights they were here, everyone went out for Hibachi. It was a success for William and Lauren--a meal with built in entertainment. He was a little afraid of the big flame at the beginning of the "show" but quickly warmed up. Lauren could hardly keep her eyes off the Hibachi chef. She really enjoyed all of his tricks. She also really enjoyed some Japanese style zucchini. William dyed Easter eggs with his cousins. He liked trying to crack the eggs when dropping them in the dye. Then Daddy came into town. William was beside himself with excitement and they did some fun things together.

Egg Hunt

William had great fun at the egg hunt held at the base on Sunday. He did a few carnival type games like the rings toss and ball toss and won few prizes. Then he had a lot of fun jumping in the bounce house (always a favorite for William) and finding eggs to put in his basket.

Whew! Look at those sexy legs!!

Bath Time!!

Lauren made her first trip into the big bath with her big brother. William did a very good job sharing the bath tub. He usually likes to roll around and splash, but was very gentle for sister. Lauren enjoyed most of the time in the tub; Well, until William poured water on her head. She definitely let him know that was not okay.

What a smart little guy!

I saw this shirt and of course had to buy it ($5 t-shirt from Wal-Mart). I told William what it said when I bought it and then threw it in the laundry to be washed. About a week later I put the shirt on and he said "My Mom Rules!". I couldn't believe it, I was so tickled.

Fun Trip

We took a very fun trip to Atlanta for a few days. William always has fun playing with Brenden ( my good friend Wendy's little boy) and Brenden always likes to play with William and Lauren. He is completely fascinated by Lauren. She took her first trip in her brand new car seat (my sweet girl looks so pretty in her purple seat). We all went to the Children's Museum of Atlanta and it was loads of fun for the kids and the parents. William was able to see the mechanics of some of his favorite machines, like a crane; paint; build with moon sand; fish (magnetic fish); and many more things. There was an infant section for Lauren but her skills are not quite developed enough to fully enjoy that area. However, she did enjoy all the excitement and activity around her; she was very vocal and full of movement while we were there. We will definitely go back sometime.

Lauren had her 6-month check-up on Friday. She weighed in at 20 lbs and was 28.5 inches long. She was in good health and the Dr was very impressed with how well she sits up. William went with us and he was a perfect gentleman. The Dr. gave him two stickers and was very pleased about his spontaneous "Thank you".

Laughing Lauren

She had so much fun trying to grab Zoe when we were playing ball. She also got a big kick out of Zoe jumping on the ball to stop it from rolling.

My Little Man

William is showing of his muscles and his really cool boxer briefs (just like Daddy)
