Rocket Star

Signy found her sunglasses today. She happily put them on her head, did a little dance and ran to look at herself in the mirror. When she came back, I asked her, "do you know what you look like in those glasses?". (I had intended to tell her she looked like the coolest girl in the world.) Her response: "Yes! I look like a rocket star. I'm going to be a rock star when I grow up. BJ's going to be a rock star too!". So silly!

Happy 7 month birthday Willa!

Introduced her to pumpkin to celebrate the occasion:



I think she liked it!

Then we had a great day at the zoo with Solera & Declan!







Sig's quote if the day: "Babies have circle-heads and big kids have puppy ears (which is how she refers to her hair after her pigtails have been taken out)!

Sig made her bed on her own today

Let me zoom in on that pillow...


When asked asked, she said, "This is my horse sleeping in my bed. I covered my bed!"

She's such a big girl now!

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!
