Collin's early birthday present...

Okay, so Collin's birthday isn't until October, but we decided to go ahead and get him his swingset early so he could use it through the summer.  It was mainly for my sanity!  As you know, Collin is FULL of energy and being outside in his element is where he loves to be.  We surprised him with it last night one it was set up.  He absolutely LOVED it!  The only problem now is that it's almost too hot to play outside on it.  Gotta love this Texas weather!

Lily is 9 months...

So, here we are again, another month later. Lily is 9 months old now. She is pulling up on everything and gets around very well by crawling. Collin is not liking the idea that she has more access to all of his toys. We are working on it!

We went to Lauren's 3rd birthday party. It was a "Little Mermaid" swimming party and the kids had a blast. I just can't believe that she is already 3! Of course, Collin's favorite part of any celebration is the cake.

A splashing good time...

Here's Lily splashing again...

Over the weekend we went to The Pokluda's house to let the kids play.  Collin, Jackson and Presley had a blast bouncing in the bounce house and playing in the kiddie pool.  

It was so beautiful on Sunday that we decided to setup the baby pool in the backyard and let the kids play in it.  Lily had an absolute blast splashing around.  She was getting everyone soaked!  Collin's favorite part was getting to eat his ice cream cone afterwards.

Lily's yoga...

Here she is again.  Great posture Lily...

I got one of Collin.  He's hiding under the blanket...

Lily's bed head in the morning...

Lily has officially mastered crawling and is now on to talking.  Well, kind of...she can say "baba."   Is it any surprise that "baba" would be the first thing she says?  I don't think she has made the connection that "baba" is her bottle, but she has officially started trying to babble.

She also loved her daily yoga.  As you can see from the pictures, she loves doing the "dog pose."  She for whatever reason loves standing on her head.  I think it's so cute.  

If you are ever wondering why there are more pictures of Lily than Collin it's because she can't run from me and tell me "no" like he can.  Sometimes he hams it up for the camera, but most of the time he's not very cooperative.  I'll try to get more soon!
