Grammy & Grampy are back again!

Grammy & Grampy rolled into town and showed the girls a good time.

They taught Baby Wily a drinking game...


Took the girls swimming...




Caught the girls aping... Monkey see...


Monkey do!


Visited a nature center - and caught the Turkey Trot!


Then took a lap around the pond.


Whew. Boy are we tired! And not the least because Baby Wily is crawling circles around all of us (Grampy says our poll was rigged!).

Rainbows & Smiles

Why is Baby Wily smiling so big?


'Cause she loves Toddler Jeneric's outfit!

(Count the rainbow stripes - the dress, the leggings, socks and hairclip!)

Mobility

As many have predicted, Baby Wily is focusing her time on figuring out how to keep up with Toddler Jeneric. Baby Wily hasn't picked up any bruises yet, but we have certainly done a lot of wincing watching her do a face plant when she gives up on trying to crawl. She has managed a few feet of forward crawling motion, as well as a tentative bit of cruising from one piece of furniture to another. Just in case you think we're taking too much latitude with our definition of mobility, you can judge for yourself:



Now that Baby Wily has had a taste of walking, her attention span for sitting still is about 30 seconds.

ETA: Let's vote! Will Baby Wily walk or crawl first? Cast your ballot to our informal poll in the upper right corner.

Interlude

Toddler Jeneric's description of an upset tummy:
"There's a caterpillar in there."

Gifts for Mom, Part II

Mom's love handmade gifts, so break out the ol' watercolors and go to town!



And if fine-motor skills aren't your thing, just be yourself!
