Uh-oh! We're in for it now!

Some of Willa's greatest moments of the day:

She's been rolling & scooting for awhile, but just started sitting herself up on Easter!

Even if it took an hour to achieve, those twenty minutes were totally worth it!

Church retreat

So we "retreat" every year with our church to Malibu Canyon. It's a great time to relax & connect with people we love.

On the way down, Sig says, "I can't go to church atreat, I'm sick. I need to go to my house.".

We went anyway. It worked out okay, but not too much sleep had by all.

Here's what Sig looked like on our way home:




Just before she fell asleep, she says, "I don't want to go home. Can we go somewhere else?". Guess she had a good time!

It's been half a year since...

our little Willa entered our lives in what we have come to understand as Willa-speed! (You'd think she feels like she needs to keep up with someone!)  She's got a lot going on for such a small person!  As you can see, she sits up for minutes at a time. She is army crawling, rolling, and doing plank position like a pro. She's an expert at sucking food off a spoon (so far she's tried rice cereal, butternut squash, sweet potatoes & peas)! She has also perfected a specific cry for when Sig takes away a toy she was digging--mommy has been trained to respond accordingly. Most recently, she tried to roll out out of her bassinet! Needless to say, Andy & I are just trying to keep up!

"Naptime"

What happens when big sister is supposed to be napping on her new air mattress (in prep for church retreat this weekend) while baby is napping in her pack-n-play? This:

(be patient, it will be dark at the beginning, and you'll probably have to turn your sound up at first, but it's worth it!)

Art by Signy Grace

We had to stay home from preschool today due to colds. I decided to let Sig do the same art project we were supposed to do at school. It was supposed to be two different projects: painting a yellow sun on the white paper & painting a orange face on the yellow sun cut-out. Sig said "I think it goes like this mom!"




Then I gave her a chance to free paint. She said, "I will do a dog...cat! Cat!". So she starts painting, asks how to do a bowl of water (blue u-shape), finishes, looks at it & says, "It's my ant! That's silly!"



She's great!

Willa happily bounced while we worked:
