2011: the early months

Time has completely flown by and there have been so many wonderful and new things to experience in the last few months. Here are my top 15:

1. Going to Grey Lodge Bird Refuge with the Gale's and the Fry kids.

(see the birds we startled into flying away)

(seriously? using sticks as rifles?!? boys!)

2. Mommy (Amanda) quit her job after more than 7 years at the DA's office. Woo hoo!!!

3. Katharine lost her first tooth and got her first visit from the Tooth Fairy!

4. Our First Blue Eyed Baby!!!!

5. Stitches for the Second Time (under his chin) 6. Eating Rice Cereal for the First Time
7. Family Bowling

8. Eating Vegetables

9. Daddy (Brian) switched to the graveyard shift and his days off are now Tues., Wed., and Thurs. Not so much fun for family outings.

10. Going to Old Sacramento with Grandma, Grandpa, the Fry's and (half of) the Watkins' on Free Museum Day

Why do little boys like climbing and jumping so much?

11. Sitting Up

This is the fat, happy baby we love!

12. Katharine read her primary talk all by herself without any help for the first time!

13. Jacob is mobile (sort of)

Jacob gets constantly pushes up on all fours, lunges forward, and falls. He hasn't quite mastered crawling but somehow manages to move all over the room.

This should be on the front of an exercise video!!

14. Elizabeth: "Mommy, I made a wish on the star."

Me: "Don't tell me what you wished for or it won't come true."

Elizabeth: (in a whisper) "I wished to be Ariel."

Good thing I already warned her that her wish might not come true, huh?

15. Jacob turned 7 months old today. Where does the time go?
