grapefruit&byebye

I started videoing because Lina was trying to crawl up onto the chair but then she started waving bye bye! We've been trying to get her to do it for a while and she all of sudden started it right then-I was very excited:) I thought maybe she didn't realize what she was doing, but she did it several times after and then she was playing on the floor and every so often would stop and wave buh-bye:)

volleyball&turnabout

On Monday nights Evan plays volleyball with Dylan, Derek, Jacob and a few other guys-they won a game last night! Kristen Mya, Lina and I are their faithful cheerleaders
On Saturday night Evan and I accompanied some of the highschool kids for a 'turnabout' thing. Everyone got dressed up, took hundreds of pictures, (don't worry, I only posted a couple-you can see facebook for the complete collection:) and went to the Chancery for dinner. Afterwards we hung out and watched movies and ate way too much food.
My dress that I got for $3
aw they matched:)
we matched too!
I love it when I find her like this in the morning!
Makeshift pack'nplay for small spaces:)

climbing and crawling

some videos per Aunt Lydia's request:)

Chicago & Lina climbing

Lina finally got to meet her Aunt Cherise! She just moved up a couple weeks ago-Lina loves playing with her:) For the married kids Christmas present, mom and dad treated us to a day in Chicago. We drove to Kenosha and then took the train the rest of the way. The weather was gorgeous. It was a really fun day-thanks mom and dad!!

at some park while we were waiting for the train


at Museum of Science and Industry
We had to tear Evan and Derek away from the enchanted castle



We got to instruct the robot to draw this freakish looking girl
while waiting to get into Rainforest cafe, we had ice cream and played cards at McDonalds-Evan and Dylan had fun playing with the statues

Mya taking Lina shopping:)
Lina loves crawling under the coffee table and always hits her head on the top when she tries to get out :-/
Lina started pulling herself up last Wednesday-cute, but dangerous! very proud of herself:)
realizing that she doesn't know how to get down....

Lina loves watching TV-She watched it like this for quite a while
