Timmy Crawls!

Timmy started crawling last Wednesday. After weeks of getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth he finally figured it out. I took this video shortly after he started and he was still tentative and a bit slow. He has since mastered it and goes goes goes!

Our visit to Indiana

Earlier this month we flew to Indiana to visit Mike's family. It was wonderful to spend time with Mike's extended family and get some quality time in with Grandma Robin and Grandpa Dave. We were there a full week, but it seemed like our time flew by. Here are some pictures from our trip.

Timothy, Kristen and Andrew, the 3 cousins on Mike's side of the family. We were thrilled to have several opportunities to get the three children together. Aren't they adorable?

Timmy and I enjoyed hanging out on Aunt Melanie and Uncle Roger's porch in Noblesville, Indiana.

Here is a box full of children! Kristen joined Mike's cousins' children in this huge box and had a blast.

Meanwhile, Timmy was watching the Cubs with Great Grandpa Bob

Bloomington is home to this HUGE playground. This is only a portion of the playground. Kristen and Timmy (well all of us really) had a great time playing here. Kristen even went down those big slides.

Timmy practiced walking with Daddy.

Kristen and Grandma Robin went down slides together!

Timmy loved the swings.

Kristen had fun on the swing too!

After we got home Kristen helped Grandpa Dave make bread

We also went to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. We had a great time. Here Timmy is peeking out from a big log in the science exploration section.

Kristen and Daddy built an arch

Kristen got a little confused and turned around in the funny mirror maze

She also got to ride the carousel

And excavate a dinosaur. The museum was lots of fun!

On our last night in Indiana, Grandma Robin got to pose for some pictures with her 3 grandchildren. This was moments before chaos ensued.

Chaos! That Andrew sure is cute and he certainly knows how to liven up a photo shoot.

And here are the 4 of us on our last night in Indiana. We had a great time and look forward to seeing our Indiana family again.

The Children's Museum of Phoenix

This past Sunday we went to the Children's Museum of Phoenix with my sister's family. We had a wonderful time. Kristen enjoyed trying out all of the different toys and exhibits as well as playing with her cousins. Timmy had fun watching and Mike and I got to play too!

The Children's Museum is lots of fun!

Here I am trying out a human powered segway, it takes a bit of balance which I apparantly lack.
Kristen made me a flower in the arts and crafts room.

Here is my intrepid explorer heading off into the Noodle Forest

Timmy enjoyed standing at the baby sized ballet bar and looking in the mirror.

Kristen videos

I mentioned in an earlier post that Timmy always likes to stick some part of his body out of the crib when sleeping. It doesn't seem to matter what part or whether it looks comfortable or not. Here he is, sleeping, what a silly guy.

Kristen had a haircut this weekend.
You can see here how she was kept so happily entertained,

she adores The Wiggles. She enjoyed driving her own "Big Red Car".

I love my girl!

I know we've had video of Kristen playing the guitar before and singing the ABCs before, but now we have her doing both at the same time! So cute!

Kristen also discovered how to use the camera to take videos. I think she did a great job considering it was her first try.
