Play Time

Daddy had a business trip, so instead of staying at home we decided to go to gramma and grandpa's house.
 Isabelle is really cruising around on stuff and here she found the refrigerator.
 One of Amelia's favorite things was going to the park.  Off she runs....
 Grandpa helping her onto the horse.
 Amelia getting her bounce on
 Isabelle enjoyed the park......but not quite as much as Amelia.....she wanted to get out, but without walking yet - its just not realistic yet.
 Isabelle started having more fun as soon as she got on the swings!  Both girls love those swings.
 A mom once told me you can see how old your child is getting by how they play on the playground.  Wow was she right!  Amelia last year was very scared of slides and she would have been scared of this one too, but grandpa make it all ok and fun!
 Isabelle on the swing.
 Gramma helped Isabelle on the slide and she gave big smiles for that!
 My brave girl!  This she did all by herself - which I was quite surprised.  Not only was it a 'bigger' slide but also covered!
 Amelia LOVED it though and went down over and over again.
 More smiles.

 Going down another slide
 This was Amelia's briefcase that she was taking to work with her.  Not to mention it was as big as she.
 Oh to be a kid again.
 Gramma and the girls on the trampoline.   Amelia is doing a snow angel.
 What relaxation!  The weather was perfect and being on the trampoline was so much fun!  This was a favorite of Amelia's!
 Off to another park!  And off goes Amelia!
 Amelia and Grandpa playing
 Another slide!
 More swing time for Isabelle - this time she did not last long until she wanted to swing.
 Sweet girl
 A bit of a mischievous smile
 Do not mistake this for a cigar.....its just a pretzel
 Isabelle liked playing with it

 Isabelle really started walking more (with assistance) as the week progressed.
 Isabelle throwing a tantrum.  She is really starting to throw fits more these days....welcome toddler-hood.
 More walking!
 Daddy and Amelia on the trampoline.  Amelia loooooved this time with her Daddy - she hadn't seen him in a week and boy did she miss him!
 Running in circles
 Tumbling down!
 Daddy lovin's
 This picture breaks my heart.....Isabelle wanted to be out there bouncing so bad!
 Daddy's acrobatics!  What airtime!
 After Daddy - Amelia had to show her stuff!
Swimming together!

On the Pathway to Walkin'

On Sunday Isabelle took 6 steps in a row.  On Tuesday she took 12!  Tonight she was practicing standing up from the floor.  It won't be long and this little girl will be gone!  But only in her own time - nothing will make her walk sooner or later.....just her own desire!

Some Happenin's

 Big Smiles from Amelia
 Amelia looking through her 'noculars'
 Isabelle giving love and huggin's to Mr. Penguin
 Amelia started next to the wall and evidently migrated during her nap....or before she ever went to sleep
Isabelle randomly will just lay down on the floor like this.  She is actually playing while laying down (what talent).
