practicing standing

Winston is just starting to crawl.  He likes to pull himself with his arms across the rug mostly.  But he is starting to catch on to the idea of getting up on his knees and crawling.  At the same time he is trying to pull up and stand.  Winston loves standing!

He does fairly well once he is up.  He is not really sturdy but practice makes perfect.

Big brother, Bennett, loves to encourage Winston with kisses.

Love these rosy cheeks!

selfies

After party selfies with Winston.  Clean up took 5 hours!  What a fun and busy weekend.

We are letting some of the balloons hang around for a while.

"getting around"

W is making progress in the moving department.  He is moving forward by grabbing the rug and pulling himself.  We have seen him getting up on all fours lately.  But, he hasn't figured out how to move forward once he is up.

bennett's 3rd birthday dino-myte party

Today we are celebrating Bennett's 3rd birthday with a few of his friends.  Bennett has some fun activities planned for his friends.  They can make Safari hats with stickers or do some coloring with dinosaur stencils.  There are lots of toys to play with around the house as well.  But, the biggest activity of them all is the Dino Dig in the basement.  There are individual bins for all of  his friends with some dinosaur bones hidden in the sand.  To find the dinosaur the kids have to use their excavation kits.  The basement is all dressed up to look like a jungle complete with the sound effects and a live stream (from our projector).



HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENNETT!  I hope you enjoyed your party.  You have made the last three years of our lives worth living.  We love you to the moon and back!
