Expert Extravaganza!

Emily's homework assignment for January was to share something that she felt she was an expert at ... and she selected playing the wii. I think that Grandpa Donato has helped bolster her confidence a bit. LOL

Brian videotaped her and we put it into a slideshow. So, our first grader has a DVD to turn in for her homework. Oh how the times have changed.

On your mark, get set, GO!

Let's try this again!

Vinnie is still working on the GO! part, but look at him figuring out the steps. He wants to crawl so badly, but can't figure out how to move forward. He's getting backwards down, but that is just frustrating him even more.

These pictures were taken this morning:

Get set:

(Almost) GO!!

Today is the first day that he is spending more time on all 4's. Before he would briefly get up on all 4s, but immediately fall. Today he is on them and rocking back and forth.
I think we need to take some time this weekend and go to BabiesRUs for some serious child-proofing products as he seems ready to be on the move!

I just liked this picture of Emily and Vinnie and wanted to share. I was trying to get Vinnie's 7 month shot with the monkey and Emily wanted in the picture, so I took a few with her.

Thanks for the Great Christmas

We want to thank everyone for helping to make our holiday season merry and bright. I finally uploaded the pictures to share. I was hoping to comb through them and clean them up, but that isn't happening so I am just sharing them as is.
