More Bath time fun

The girls really like to take baths together and tonight was no exception. The bath started off like it usually does with lots of giggles and splashing but it got even crazier when I decided to put on Abby's shower cap. First I had it on then Abby wore it for awhile. Abby and I exchanged a quick look and we both reached for it and put it on Emily's head next. Needless to say the results were hysterical!

Soccer Time

Abby's team, The Bruisers, had their first official game last night. At this age the kids are playing more for fun and learning soccer skills. In fact there is no official score kept. Abby got a chance to be a goalie for a quarter. She let a few balls get past her but she was not afraid to dive after the ball at all. Ever time she let a ball past her she would come up with a smile on her face. Our team may not have scored a goal or even known what direction to kick the ball at times but the kids did have fun.

More Walking!

Emily has started to get more comfortable walking these days. She used to only take 2 or 3 steps at a time but now she is taking more like 5 or 6 at time. Here is a quick video of her walking around the living room. Enjoy!

First Day of Kindergarten

Today was the official start of school! Woohoo! Abby has been looking forward to school starting for quite some time now and was more than ready to head back to school. I'm sure this excitement over school only lasts for a few more years! She did have a little case of the nerves last night and then again this morning but overall she was ready to get on the bus. Since our neighborhood is currently fenced off due to the ongoing housing construction on base there is only one way in and out of our neighborhood. I waited with my friend Carol for the bus to come back by so we could wave good-bye to the kids. Well as the bus drove by Abby was busy talking to another little girl across the aisle! She didn't even care to wave good-bye to her dear old Mom. Oh well! I knew that she would be fine, the social butterfly that she is.

Baby Steps

Yesterday Emily decided that she had enough of crawling and took her first solo steps. I was sitting on the living room floor and I stood her up about a foot or two in front of me. I held out my hands and she just started walking toward me. All together she took 3 really good steps. Jason and I were so happy with her and so excited that Emily started to get really excited too. She wanted to keep trying to walk. She kept trying and trying until her little legs were too tired to try anymore.

Firsts!

We've had some really nice weather here the last few days. We've gotten a little preview of fall weather and it's wonderful. I was able to dress Emily in some jeans and some cute shoes the other day and she for such a tiny little baby she looked awfully grown up!
