Need to work on our accuracy

Gemma is getting pretty proficient at self feeding....or so I thought! Here is the seat of her high chair after lunch. I guess all those Cheerios didn't make it into her mouth!*

No?

Overheard from the kitchen

Grandma (to William): do you like this treat? Would you like to try one?

William: ummm... I think I would like 2 of those treats.

Grandma:no. I said you could have one.

William: what did you say? (In disbelief and shock in his tone)

Gemma pulls up

Gemma discovered how much fun it is to pull herself up to standing this week. She just cackles with pleasure when she achieves the full stand....which usually results in her tumbling over. Which, usually gives me a heart attack.

She is just good enough to get herself pulled up, but has NO sense of balance, where her feet are or how much it will hurt if she bumps her head.

In the picture, I had put Gemma in the playpen and started reading a bedtime story to the big kids. A few minutes later, I looked up to see Gemma's beaming face. She was so proud of herself we took this quick picture...and then she tipped over....of course.

The kids!

The kids worked hard today at the wedding! William was the ring bearer, Amelia was the flower girl, and Gemma was cute! All three kids did an awesome job doing what they were supposed to do and looked adorable!

It's a nice day for a white wedding

Congratulations to Mike and Jenny on their wedding day! It will be fun to share a wedding anniversary with them as today is also our 11th (!) wedding anniversary!
