Another busy weekend

Sophie and Brie enjoyed a Sunday at home in the kiddie pool.

Brie had a great time playing with pop in the pool at his house. She wanted to "climb in" over and over again.

and here is miss Sophie wearing Brie's swimming suit, hanging out with PopPop. She didn't care too much for the pool. It is still a little cold for her liking.

Here we are "climbing in"

To camp or not to camp

So for weeks we planned a camping trip. Then the weather man said rain so nothing was ready for the trip. But as of 10 am on Wednesday it was beautiful out so off we went. With 2 hours to pack and get ready we were off to the wilderness!

After an hour of Brie fussing about getting to "throw rocks" the tent was set up and the fire built.

Sophie was content playing with her toys and watching mommy and daddy work.

We were off to throw rocks into the pond and ride the paddle boat.

Brie had a great time playing in the tent.

She even fell asleep in her sleeping bag after a small amount of whining. She slept the entire night even with the rain.

Of course camping had a back up plan. We were sleeping in Marcus's mom's yard.

Best Shots Sunday

I couldn't pick just one photo of each of the girls so here are a few of each. Can you tell we had a great weekend! So the laundry is not done, the floors are not mopped, and even the toilets are not scrubbed, it was still a great time.

Brie climbing up the big slide steps all by herself! It is about 10 foot in the air of course daddy was climbing up right behind her.

Victory! She made it to the top and got to slide down the purple slide over and over again.

Sophie playing in the grass!

Painting in the yard!

Puzzles already! Sophie enjoyed eating the pieces more then actually putting them together. The giraffe sure tastes good!

Playing in the puddles!

Even a gloomy day can be fun when you have puddles!

Suddenly sitting and very giggly

So it seems like overnight Sophie is growing up. She is now truly sitting independently. She sat in the grass this weekend and can even lean forward and pick up her toys without falling. After about 10-15 minutes she gets a little tired and needs a change of scenery. I don't think it will be too long before she is crawling. When placed on her belly she is now getting up on her knees. No forward motion yet, but I am sure it will not be too long. I don't remember Brie sitting this early or getting mobile this quick, but I guess every baby is different and Sophie has her big sister to watch. Brie was showing her how to crawl this weekend and Sophie was watching intensely. The two of them had a ball playing in the ball pit and Sophie was just laughing at her big sister.
