I-L-L-I-N-I

Mommy and Daddy got to spend the night with just Alex and took in an Illini basketball game!  As you can see he is pretty excited!  I am not sure if he is more excited about the game or the tub of popcorn he got to munch on the whole time!

10 Months Old and this is How You Celebrate?

Brecke is 10 months old today.  Yep--crazy isn't it?  She is doing so many things---more on that later.  She decided she would celebrate this milestone by lunging out of her crib.  OK...not sure it was a lunge, actually, I am pretty sure it was a head-over-heals sort of move...but the end result was the same...a loud THUNK!  Let's just say that I can still move pretty fast when I need to.

She is fine. I found her sitting up on her bottom holding her blanket--crying--but not screaming bloody murder.  A few seconds in my arms and she was giggling again.

The boys got home and lowered the crib.  That should keep her in for awile! :)

Fashion Statement

I don't know how he didn't fall flat on his face, but Alex was so proud of his new fashion statement. Mommy's boots added to the tractor shirt that he hasn't taken off for now almost two days--hopefully, today will be the day that we can peel it off of him.

Round and Round We Go!

Brecke just LOVES crawling round and round the ottoman--especially if big brother is chasing her or if Mommy is hiding around one of the corners. She just giggles and giggles and giggles!

Not Gonna Be Long...

Brecke is gonna be walking sooner than later! She is crusing around everywhere and this week she "walked" across the whole kitchen with Mommy's help (and a bit of antagonizing from big brother--notice he is pulling her hair in one of them).

She is SOOOO PROUD of herself!!

HELLO?

Brecke has this cell phone thing already figured out. She knows exactly what to do with her play ones and then when one of ours rings, she puts her hand up to her ear and says her own version of "hello"!
