Catching up with the kids

Just a bunch of randoms from the last couple weeks.

Outside keeping an eye on Craig while he worked on the garage roof. Checking out the rocks:









One really exciting thing that we're seeing a lot more of these days: the kids playing TOGETHER! Will has been a lot more affectionate towards and protective of Sophie. He wants to know where she is all the time and will go right over to her and talk to her just like we do. Plus, the fact that Sophie is so mobile now and curious about everything makes her much more interesting to Will. So when we got out the tunnel last week upon Will's request, Sophie crawled right in too!




Another evening playing outside after work one day while Sophie catnapped. Will recently got a haircut again. I just can't get over how grown up he looks!




Will just loves checking out the bugs and spiders outside. Lady bugs are especially abundant.

Showing dad his find.


And the lawn mower hasn't lost any of it's appeal either.





Get ready to see lots of pictures of Sophie with food on her face (LOL) in the coming weeks. We're moving full speed ahead with solids now and she seems to like most everything so far. Mastering the SPOON is still a work in progress, but she's interested at least.

Sweet potatoes!... and banana. :)



Getting ready for a bath.







Playdate with Mya & Stella. Sophie's cousins are rolling over too now and babbling and chatting up a storm.



Tent fun! We opened Will's birthday present on the living room floor this weekend. Once again, Soph was all over something she can crawl into and around in.









We loaded the floor with pillows, read books in the tent, watched a movie from the tent...

And then Halloween night, Craig & I caught up with some DVR'd shows like The Office... from the tent... LOL ;)


Up on all fours today, rocking and flopping - so close!



Butternut squash (that Will picked out from the pumpkin farm) for lunch:



She really likes water too!


Big girl in her high chair.



And finally, a stop over to the farm to see the progress on Kelly & Steve's house. "Big Papa" Riedeman pulled in with the combine and Will could NOT contain his excitement. Papa took him for a ride and, look out folks, Will got to help steer that monstrosity!

Okay, I think that's it for now. Yes, everyone, I love taking pictures. :)
