Anya is Walking!

Anya started walking a couple of weeks ago. She is still a little unsteady and needs to build some strength in her legs because they start to wobble after a while, but for 10 months I think she's pretty good.

Jonah's Gymnastics Recital

This was the end of Jonah's gymnastics semester and they put on a small recital for the parents.

Jonah Helping to Set Up the Pool

Jonah is so excited to be able to start swimming again this season. He even helped daddy to set up the pool.

Anya Having Fun

Anya definitely likes to have fun...I mean she doesn't want to sit still...ever. But along with this little trial/blessing comes the reward of her being very observant and interested in trying everything, including brushing her teeth...and I must say she is pretty good at it for her age.

Grandpa's Going Away

Here are a few pictures from when we were saying good-bye to Grandpa...Again! He is back off to the Middle East for another deployment where we won't see him for another year. We were definitely blessed to be able to go to NY to see him off though. It was interesting because for the most part on the trip, Anya didn't really want grandpa holding her, but she must have sensed something was going on because she was sure good at the goodbyes.

Anya and her Wheels

Anya loves to ride anything she can get her hands on...rocking horses, tricycles, anything that moves, even if they are for bigger kids (actually, I think that's why). She wants to jump into everything she sees her brother doing (and some things he won't do). She is quite fearless. Luckily she is careful though.

Batman Jonah

Jonah LOVES to play superhero, so I got him this Batman sleepwear. Well, as you can imagine he loves wearing it (and still tries to wear it when it's 90 degrees out). Sometimes he combines them and he is SpiderIceBatman or things like that. The really funny thing is he has never seen an episode of any of them and if Aaron tries to put on one of the cartoon he doesn't want to watch it...go figure.
